Mittens

Ski mittens and gloves: online shopping to buy

You want warm hands. You want comfort and performance. This guide helps you choose, compare, and buy quickly.

Gloves vs mittens: what's the difference?

Mittens keep warmth better. They group the fingers together to retain heat. Gloves offer more dexterity. For ski lifts and handling your phone, gloves win. For cold days or freeride skiing, mittens are often preferable.

Available types

• Insulated mittens for extreme cold.
• Freeride gloves with leather or synthetic reinforcements.
• Technical outdoor gloves for hiking and mountaineering.
• High-performance snowboard gloves for precision and durability.
• High-performance heated ski gloves for those who are very cold-sensitive.

Technical features to check

Waterproofing: prioritize a waterproof membrane and sealed seams. Insulation: synthetic or down; the insulation should match your usage. Flexibility: the palm should remain supple for holding poles and adjustments. Wrist: tightening and long cuffs prevent snow from entering. Heating system: autonomy and adjustments should be clear.

Recommended materials

Leather for durability. Synthetic for lightness and maintenance. Integrated waterproof membrane to keep hands dry. Breathable lining to avoid condensation. If you want extra warmth, consider high-performance heated ski gloves (battery or rechargeable).

Choosing the right size

Measure the circumference of your hand at the base of the fingers. Check the size guides from manufacturers. Gloves should be fitted: not too tight (loss of insulation), not too loose (loss of dexterity). If you're unsure, contact us for personalized advice.
