Best ski gloves and mittens for adults and kids to take to the slopes

It’s paramount to check the level of dexterity, grip and waterproofing provided - (iStock/The Independent)

Get your mitts on a great pair of gloves – warm, waterproof gloves specifically designed for snowsports are a lifesaver in the mountains. Whether you’re skiing, snowboarding or just walking the dog at home on a snow day, our pick of the best snow-ready gloves will keep your fingers toasty.

First up, decide if you’d like to pick a glove or a mitten style. There are benefits to both – on test we found mittens kept hands warmer, but gloves with fingers offer better grip and dexterity. You can also wear liner gloves inside either style, and these are handy if you need to grapple with a phone or swap a goggle lens over mid-ski. If you want to wear your new gloves with a liner, make sure your ski gloves have plenty of room when you purchase them, and try them on with your liner gloves before you head to the pistes.
