Gloves, mittens or a split finger?
- Gloves: Best dexterity for gripping ski poles, adjusting zippers or handling gear; not as warm as mittens
- Mittens: Warmest option but reduced dexterity; ideal when you don't need precise grip
- Split-finger: Balance dexterity and warmth; they keep some fingers together for warmth while allowing some dexterity
Find a good fit
- Aim for about a 1/4 inch of space between fingertips and the tip of the glove
- Check the brand's size chart; most brands use hand length or hand circumference
