The difference between snowboard gloves and mittens

We frequently receive the question; What is the difference between ski gloves and mittens? And which are warmer? You can say that mittens are generally warmer than traditional finger gloves. However, it is important to compare the same quality between mittens and gloves. In a mitten, your fingers are together in one space. Additionally, air is the best insulator.

What characterizes good snowboard gloves?

Good snowboard gloves have several features that are essential for comfort, protection, and performance during snowboarding. Here are some key features to look for when choosing snowboard gloves:

  1. Waterproofing: Choose gloves that are waterproof to prevent snow and moisture from entering and making your hands wet and cold. Materials like Gore-Tex and DWR coatings help keep water out.
  2. Insulation: Good gloves have sufficient insulation to keep your hands warm even in cold conditions. Thinsulate and PrimaLoft are popular insulating materials that provide warmth without extra bulk.
  3. Breathability: Gloves should also be breathable to prevent your hands from overheating and sweating. This keeps your hands comfortable and dry.
  4. Windproofing: Choose gloves that are windproof to prevent cold wind from reaching your hands and cooling them down.
  5. Fit and freedom of movement: The gloves should have a good fit and offer enough freedom of movement, allowing you to easily move your fingers and fasten your snowboard bindings without restrictions.
  6. Durability: Look for gloves made from high-quality materials that are resistant to wear and tears, ensuring they last a long time.

In short, good snowboard gloves are waterproof, well-insulated, breathable, windproof, provide a good fit and freedom of movement, and are durable. By paying attention to these features, you can snowboard comfortably and confidently in all weather conditions.

Snowboard gloves with wrist protection

Snowboard gloves with wrist protection are specially designed gloves that provide extra protection to the wrists during snowboarding. These gloves have built-in reinforcements or pads around the wrists to reduce impact and injury in the event of a fall or accident. The wrist protection is usually made of shock-absorbing material such as foam or gel to absorb and disperse the force of a fall.
These gloves are especially popular among beginners and snowboarders who are at higher risk of falling, such as freestylers performing tricks and jumps. The wrist protection provides extra peace of mind and can help prevent serious injuries such as wrist fractures or sprains.
It is important to choose well-fitting snowboard gloves with wrist protection to maximize the benefits of protection. Wearing these gloves can be a valuable addition to your snowboard gear, especially if you are still learning or want to protect yourself during more intense snowboarding activities.
