Ski gloves and mittens for kids
Good ski gloves for kids keep small hands warm and dry, even after a snowball fight. Here you can choose from ski gloves and ski mittens from Barts, Color Kids and Ziener. For young children, mittens are often the warmest and the easiest to put on.
Ski gloves or mittens for your child?
In gloves, every finger has its own compartment, so you can move your fingers separately and grip things more easily. A mitten has only two compartments: a small one for the thumb and a large one for the rest of the fingers. A mitten leaves more room for insulation, so little hands can stay a bit warmer than in gloves. With mittens, your child will find it harder to grip things. Take a look at the ski gloves for kids or the ski mittens for kids.
Safety first
Gloves and mittens not only keep little hands nice and warm, they also protect them in a fall. Skis and snowboards can be very sharp, so it is wise to keep your gloves on at all times on the slopes.
Material
Most gloves are made of polyester, and the palm often has a section of material that gives good grip. Children also fall over from time to time or end up in a snowball fight. It is then nice if their gloves are waterproof too.
Both gloves and mittens are easy to put on, as the cuff often has an elastic band or drawcord. This prevents snow or wind from getting into the glove. Make sure the gloves or mittens have a wrist loop. When you take them off, they stay hanging from your wrist and do not get lost. Barts is by far our most popular brand for kids' gloves.
