Collection: Ski & Snowboard Gloves

Ski Gloves and Mittens for Resort and Backcountry Days

Ski and snowboard gloves keep hands warm, dry, and working through hours of cold, wind, and snow on the mountain. This collection brings together gloves, mittens, and 3-finger styles for resort laps, storm days, and backcountry tours, in men’s, women’s, and unisex fits.

Waterproof Shells, Leather, and Windproof Fabrics

Snow melts on contact with a warm hand, so waterproofing does most of the work in a ski glove. GORE-TEX gloves and mitts put a waterproof, breathable membrane between the shell and the insulation, which keeps melting snow out while letting sweat escape. Leather palms and shells add grip on poles and hold up to ski edges, rope tows, and binding straps. Windproof fleece and softshell styles suit cold, dry days and uphill effort, when breathability matters more than storm protection. Each product page states whether a style is waterproof or water-resistant.

Gloves, Mittens, and 3-Finger Styles

The right shape depends on how cold your hands run and how much finger work your day involves. Gloves keep full dexterity for pole straps, zippers, and boot buckles. Ski and snowboard mittens keep the fingers together so they share heat, which makes them the warmer choice for cold chairlifts and midwinter storms. 3-finger styles free the index finger for small tasks while the other three fingers stay together for warmth. Many skiers and snowboarders keep a mitt for the coldest days and a glove for everything else.

H3: Insulation, Heated Styles, and Liners

Warmth comes from what sits inside the shell. Synthetic insulation keeps its warmth when damp, down packs the most warmth for its weight on cold, dry days, and aerogel adds warmth with very little bulk. Battery-heated gloves and mitts add adjustable heat for the coldest days and for hands that run cold. Merino wool liners and 3-in-1 and modular designs with removable liners let you add or remove a layer as conditions change through the day.

Every style here is also sorted by fit: browse Men’s Ski Gloves and Women’s Ski Gloves, or see the full Gloves collection for liners, everyday winter gloves, and the rest of the line.

FAQs

What is the difference between ski gloves and snowboard gloves?

Mostly how the hands get used. Skiers grip poles all day, so ski gloves tend to favor a pre-curved fit and dexterity at the fingertips. Snowboarders put their hands in the snow to strap in, sit down, and push back up, so snowboard gloves and mitts tend to favor longer cuffs, tougher palms, and full waterproofing. Every glove and mitt in this collection works for both sports, so choose by warmth, waterproofing, and cuff style.

What makes a ski glove waterproof?

A waterproof membrane sealed inside the glove. Fully waterproof ski gloves carry an insert such as GORE-TEX between the outer shell and the insulation, which blocks melting snow while letting sweat vapor escape. The outer fabric and leather are treated to shed snow on the surface, and a cinchable cuff keeps snow from getting in at the wrist. Each style is labeled waterproof or water-resistant on its product page, and the Weather Resistance filter on this page sorts the collection the same way.

How warm should ski gloves be?

Warm enough for the coldest conditions you ski in, without overheating on the active parts of the day. Light-warmth styles suit spring skiing and uphill touring, where hands heat up on the climb. Moderate warmth covers most resort days in midwinter. Extreme-warmth gloves and mitts are for deep cold, long chairlifts, and anyone whose hands run cold. Each product page rates warmth from light to extreme, and the Warmth Level filter on this page sorts every style the same way.

Should ski gloves go over or under your jacket sleeve?

It depends on the cuff. Gauntlet gloves have a long cuff that goes over the jacket sleeve and cinches shut, which seals out deep snow and adds warmth at the wrist, so they suit powder days and snowboarding, where hands spend more time in the snow. Under-cuff gloves have a short cuff that tucks inside the sleeve, which makes them lighter, easier to pull on and off, and a good match for jackets with snug, sealing cuffs. Either way, the glove and sleeve should overlap so no skin shows when you reach forward.
