Ski Gloves – Warm Hands All Day on the Slopes

Your hands get cold first: you hold poles, grab the lift, buckle boots and often touch the snow. Good ski gloves protect against cold, wind and moisture while leaving enough dexterity to handle your gear without taking them off.

In this category you will find ski gloves by Lhotse (France), a brand we officially import to Bulgaria, by Viking (Poland), heated gloves by Alpenheat (Austria), as well as models by Trekmates (United Kingdom).

How to Choose Ski Gloves

• Waterproofing: a membrane keeps your hands dry in contact with snow and lets moisture escape from inside.
• Insulation: determines how warm the gloves are. For very cold days and for children, choose heavier insulation.
• Gloves or mittens: gloves give more dexterity, while mittens are warmer because the fingers warm each other.
• Cuff: a long gauntlet cuff goes over the jacket sleeve and keeps snow out, while a short cuff goes under the sleeve.
• Details: wrist leashes, a reinforced palm, a goggle wipe and touchscreen compatibility.
• Heated gloves: Alpenheat models have built-in battery-powered heaters that keep your fingers warm – a solution for people whose hands are always cold.

Gloves or Mittens

How to Find Your Size

Measure the circumference of your palm below the knuckles, excluding the thumb, and compare it with the size chart of the model. The glove should leave about 1 cm of free space at the fingertips. A glove that is too tight compresses the insulation and keeps you less warm.

Complete your outfit with a ski hat or face mask, ski goggles and a ski jacket.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I dry ski gloves?
At room temperature with the cuff open, away from radiators and stoves, because high heat damages the membrane and leather. The fastest and gentlest way is with a glove and boot dryer.

Which ski gloves are the warmest?
Mittens with heavy insulation are the warmest. For people whose hands get cold quickly, heated gloves are the most reliable solution.

Can ski gloves be washed?
Most models can be hand washed in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Leather parts are cared for with a leather conditioner. Always check the care label.

Are ski gloves suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, especially models with a membrane and better dexterity. On the climb you can wear thinner gloves and keep the ski gloves for the summit and breaks.
