Product Information

For many people, heated gloves may be overkill. But for extremely cold temperatures (or Raynaud’s sufferers!) the Outdoor Research Prevail gloves are the key to staying warm and happy out in the snow. Outdoor Research updated these gloves for the 2022/2023 season in the form of the OR Prevail Heated GORE-TEX Gloves from our previous winner, the OR Lucent’s. In the skiing world, personal preferences abound, and none so much as a skier’s preference for gloves versus mittens. Here’s the skinny on both styles: WHY YOU SHOULD GET GLOVES VS. MITTENS

Carhartt Waterproof Insulated Mitt– This simple and well-made option is incredibly budget friendly and offers a lot of warmth and protection. It is outfitted with a durable shell, has fast-dry technology, a waterproof insert and is made of 100% polyester. These mittens come in a variety of different color choices, as well. The removable liner glove has a silicone grip and touchscreen-friendly fingertips. The 650-fill-down mitten liner provides plenty of lofty warmth. And the GORE-TEX outer makes for a breathable, waterproof shell. Scroll right to view all of the columns: Price, Shell/Material, Cuff Type, Insulation, Warmth. Mitten If your fingers are usually pretty warm, other options are more simplified, like the Give’r Frontier Mittens or the Gordini Challenge Mitt. The leather palm provides plenty of grip, and the three-panel thumb construction allows for even better dexterity to grab gear. We like the longer cuff for its all-around sturdy construction, which kept snow from sneaking in.Some wrist leashes are sewn on and not removable, like with the Picture Organic Women’s Anna Mitts , while others are easy to remove.

In line with current health and safety guidelines, we reserve the right to refuse any items that are (for whatever reason) not returned to us in a clean and hygienic condition. Folks also tend to like Kids’ Burton Vent Mittens most for their different size options (kids’ mittens really shouldn’t be one size fits all), ease of use and adjustability, and warmth. Parents rave at the length of the cuffs and cinches that do a great job of keeping snow out. The price isn’t bad, either.Any customer information held on our computers complies with the rules and laws contained within the Data Protection Act 2018. What we liked: Liner and shell separate to make a versatile glove. The warmest non-heated glove we tested

Out of the 100+ gloves we researched, we looked for gloves with premium insulation (think PrimaLoft Silver and Primaloft Gold Insulation) designed to keep cold out and warmth in. Insulation in ski gloves varies. There is a lot to like about these mittens. Most notably, is the warmth that these mitts can provide your hands. They will hold up in most temperatures you will find yourself in, thanks to their plentiful insulation and the materials used in both the inside and outside of these mitts.

Products regularly purchased with this item

While you can use regular winter gloves, it's recommended to use specialized ski gloves designed for the specific demands of skiing. Ski gloves provide better insulation, waterproofing, and features like reinforced palms for grip on ski poles. How do I prevent my hands from sweating inside the gloves? While the liner is very soft to the touch and able to keep you warm, they are not compatible with smartphones. If you want to use a touch-screen device, you will need to take the mittens off. Also, while they can be worn without the outer shell, it is generally recommended to also wear the outer shell for best results and durability. Why Trust Me And while we’ve pushed the INFINIUM Windstopper layer from GORE pretty far in the past, it’s important to note that these gloves won’t be 100% waterproof (just dang close). The outer is made from biosourced and recycled polyester, which is coupled with a waterproof, breathable membrane to help keep hands dry no matter how much snow is falling. We found that the Picture Organic Women’s Anna Mitts were grippy enough with their goat leather palm but are not touchscreen compatible. Every mitten-lover we spoke to chose their childhood classics for one huge reason: warmth. Keeping your fingers together in the mitten cocoon allows natural body heat to radiate and warm up the rest of your fingers. (It must be said, of course, that some mittens have liners with separated fingers for additional insulation, but they’re all wrapped up in a mitten shell.) Most liked the simplicity of not having to wrestle with individual fingers when they put on or take off their hand-warmers. The majority wanted to be able to wiggle their fingers freely!
