Dakine Titan GORE-TEX Gloves

You don’t need to compromise to get the Dakine Titan GORE-TEX Gloves on your hands, they’ll do it for you. At least on the price. Because even though you’re getting the legendary protection of GORE-TEX, mapped recycled insulation, a touch screen-compatible liner glove, and even a handwarmer pocket on the back of your hand, these gloves come in at an extremely appealing price point that makes some of the more “premium” glove offerings a little uncomfortable.

Even at that wallet-friendly price you get full Dakine quality and performance, including durable materials so you’ll be able to wear these gloves for many seasons to come. And a fit so comfortable you’ll want to. Add in the versatility of being available in either glove or mitt formats, and available upgrades to a full leather palm, and the Dakine Titan GORE-TEX has the answer to most, if not every, question you can have about keeping your hands warm.

Hestra Fall Line Gloves

An absolute legend in quality, the Hestra Fall Line Gloves offer a premium feel due to the materials used and the decisions made when putting them together. Take the fingers for example, made from silicone-infused cowhide they’re extremely durable and flexible at any temperature, allowing you to take advantage of the outseam construction on the palm side of the fingers. By stitching the materials together that way they not only improve comfort by moving the seam away from you, but they also improve your grip by adding texture to the outside of the glove. The result is a feel that no other glove can match.

But they’re not just a luxury item, the Hestra Fall Line Gloves feature a removable (and therefore washable) fleece liner, that together with the insulation built into the shell of the glove makes these extremely warm in any conditions. The included Hestra Handcuffs help prevent the unfortunate situations where you drop a glove off a lift, and the included carabiner keeps them together on your way too or from the mountain. And if that’s not enough, they also come in a traditional snowboard mitten or three finger “lobster” mitt, allowing you to get even more warmth without giving up on that famous Hestra feel.

Gordini Windward Gloves

Some things are best left to the experts, which is why the Gordini Windward Gloves are the latest Gordini offering to make it’s appearance on this list. But just because these Canadians have been making gloves since the 50s doesn’t mean these gloves are stuck in the past. Using CLUTCH, a material Gordini developed in-house, these gloves forego a leather palm and thumb and instead offer superior durability and breathability while actually being more earth-friendly than the chemical-heavy tanning process. That ecoconscious ethic continues with a lining and insert that are all fully bluesign approved.

But it’s not just about being good to the earth, the Gordini Windward Gloves are good to you too. The over-cuff design features a sewn-down pull tab for easy on or off, and warmth comes from THINDOWN and Sorona insulations, making this glove both extremely dexterious and very warm. Add in a GORE-TEX insert and the only thing this glove can’t do is leave you wet and cold.

LEKI Patrol 3D Gloves

Okay yes LEKI is a ski pole brand, and the integrated Trigger System is a big part of the pitch of these gloves if you’re a person who uses ski poles. But even if you’re a snowboarder the LEKI Patrol 3D Gloves make a compelling case to be your go-to gloves this season. Starting from the outside in there’s the 100% goatskin construction, a leather prized for it’s combination of durability and flexibility.

The result is feel few other gloves can match, helping your dexterity and your comfort. Silicone lamination on the palm side enhances the durability, and water resistance, without compromising flexibility even at lower temps. And the insulated construction and extended neoprene cuff seal in warth so these will be the gloves you reach for when you’re facing lover temps.

The North Face Montana Pro Gloves

If you’ve got a stay-out-no-matter-what kind of attitude, The North Face Montana Gloves are something you’ll want to check out. The over-cuff shell is packed with Heatseeker Eco insulation, deployed in a SLayer Warmth format. This puts two thinner sheets of insulation into the glove allowing the insulation and the air trapped in between to keep you warm. This ensures serious warmth even if you’re deep in the backcountry, while also reducing the glove’s overall bulk so you can enjoy greater dexterity.

Pair that with the DryVent inserts, engineered to keep snow and slush out while allowing perspiration to move freely through, help you stay comfortable whether you’re holding onto the handlebars of a snowmobile or hiking to the top of your next line on your trusty splitboard. There’s also Progressive Precurve shape and Etip functionality make it easy to hold and operate your touchscreen devices.

Outdoor Research Alpinite GORE-TEX Gloves

If you’re more concerned with dexterity than warmth, the Outdoor Research Alpinite GORE-TEX Gloves are worth considering. Featuring a lower-profile design favored by ski mountaineers and anyone who needs to actually use their hands, they’re perfect for when you just don’t need or don’t want a big heavy glove. That doesn’t mean they offer no protection, between the GORE-TEX insert and a mix of recycled and Primaloft Gold insulations you’ll be shielded from the elements and warm enough to take the edge off.

Whatever you pick, a good set of gloves makes it easier to stay out longer, and therefore do more, out on the mountain. And we’re confident any of these gloves can do exactly that. So pick your favorite, pull them on, and get out there.

686 Primer Glove

If you’re interests are more budget-conscious, it’s hard to do better than the 686 Primer Glove, especially in the new and extremely exciting Grateful Dead or NASA colorways. But even if you pick the more mainstream look, you’re getting the same bang for the buck. Movement Fit construction shapes the glove to your hand before you even put it on, making it easier to grip and feel with your hand in the glove, and allowing you to take full advantage of the Soundtouch Touchscreen Technology.

Inside there’s an infiniDry waterproof/breathable insert, one hundred grams of infiniLOFT insulation, and a tricot lining that wicks perspiration away to keep you warm and comfortable all season long. Taken in tandem with the velcro adjustable cuff and this budget-friendly glove isn’t just comfortable on your wallet, it’s comfortable on the mountain too.

Wells Lamont Ajax Gloves

Another example of a great pick coming from outside the regular snowsports world is the Wells Lamont Ajax Glove. Wells Lamont has a well-earned reputation making some of the most durable work gloves on the market, and they bring that same ethos to their SNOW line making gloves for winter recreation. As a result you get Wells Lamont’s signature HydraHyde water-resistant cowhide covering every inch of the outside, offering durable and breathable waterproof protection that never needs to be reapplied. And on the inside theres 100g of Thinsulate, with extra foam padding to cut the wind across your knuckles. The under-cuff design features a velcro closure, and security leashes attach to the pull tabs for confidence you won’t loose your gloves when you pop them off to get full dexterity.

KUIU Northstar Gloves

As a brand KUIU is focused more on hunting than winter sports, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t consider the KUIU Northstar Gloves before you hit the slopes. Hunters spend a lot of time waiting, sitting quietly until their quarry to arrive. Sitting still means getting cold, so hunting gear is built with serious levels of warmth. Which is why the Northstar is packed with a truly massive 285g of Primaloft Gold insulation for the back of your hands. Insulation on the palm side is thinner, coming in at just 115g, to allow for greater dexterity and improved feel through the gloves. And while that may seem like a significant dropoff it’s still significantly more than a lot of dedicated snow gloves, so it’s by no means a lightweight.

The result is a seriously warm glove, backed with an HDry waterproof membrane and moisture-wicking wool blend lining. It’s a level of protection no mere “ski” glove can beat, making this a perfect pick if your fingers are always cold, or if you want something that’ll work in a tree stand as well as on the lift. It’s even available in a selection of solid colors, if the whole camo aesthetic isn’t your thing.
