How to choose the right pair of ski and snowboard gloves

Choosing ski and snowboard gloves means balancing warmth, protection and dexterity. Whether you are a beginner, an experienced rider or looking for an everyday solution, the right glove can transform your experience on the slopes.

Types of ski and snowboard gloves:
 

Classic five-finger gloves
The most popular and versatile, they provide good insulation without being bulky. They allow independent finger movement, so you can open zips, adjust bindings or use your phone easily. They are an excellent choice throughout winter in varied conditions.
 

Mittens
The ideal choice for very cold days with deep snow or popular destinations such as the Alps – France, Italy or Austria. Warmth is maximised because your fingers stay together, but dexterity is reduced – sometimes you will need to remove them to operate buckles or pockets.
 

Split-finger mittens
A hybrid of the two models: warmer than classic gloves but more functional than mittens thanks to the separate index finger, useful for touchscreens or quick adjustments.
 

Pipe and park gloves
Minimalist and flexible, created for freestyle and park riding. Made from lightweight materials such as neoprene, they are not highly resistant to cold or water, making them ideal for spring and training sessions.
