Snowboard Gloves: Guide and Purchase

Ready to ride? The right gloves make all the difference. Shop online for high-performance, warm, and waterproof models. Free shipping on a selection of items and affordable options available.

Types of Gloves

There are three main categories: classic gloves, mittens, and lobsters (half-mittens, half-gloves). For outdoor activities, prioritize technical outdoor gloves that offer insulation and mobility.

Technical mittens for snowboarding maximize warmth. They are suitable for those sensitive to the cold.

Lobsters provide a good compromise between warmth and dexterity. Gloves offer more precision for adjusting settings.

Selection Criteria

• Thermal Insulation: synthetic or down. More insulation = more warmth, but be careful about breathability.
• Waterproofing: membranes type 10k–20k. Waterproof and breathable prevents wet gloves.
• Wrist Protection: reinforcements and straps to limit injuries in case of a fall.
• Breathability: important if you are climbing at altitude or hiking.
• Touchscreen Compatibility: useful, but not essential.

If you practice ski touring, ski touring gloves prioritize lightweight and high breathability for prolonged efforts.

FAQ

What are the best snowboard gloves for beginners?
For beginners, choose warm, waterproof, and easy-to-maintain gloves. Synthetic insulation gloves are a good price/warmth compromise.

How to choose the right glove size?
Measure the circumference of your palm at the knuckles. Follow the seller's size guide and leave a little space if you wear liners. A too-tight fit reduces insulation.

Are gloves more effective than mittens?
Mittens generally keep more warmth than gloves because fingers warm up together. Gloves offer more dexterity. The choice depends on your sensitivity to cold and your need for touch.

Which models are most recommended for extreme conditions?
For extreme cold and humidity, opt for high-performance models with a waterproof 20k membrane, significant insulation, and wrist reinforcements. Also, check the compatibility of closures and the quality of seams.
