If you\u2019re anything like me, winter is a catch-22. On the one hand, it\u2019s the season for skiing, so I love it dearly. On the other hand, I live in a perpetual state of cold hands.<\/p>\n

I have pretty poor circulation, and as a result, my fingers and toes turn icy rather quickly. That\u2019s why the gloves and mittens I wear need to be extra warm. I\u2019ve found that while gloves are easier to grip ski poles with, I\u2019ll trade a bit of dexterity for the extra warmth that mittens provide.<\/p>\n

If you also suffer from cold hands, then look no further. We partnered with SKI<\/em> testers and editors to round up seven of the gloves and mittens they have found to be warmest. From heated options to gloves under $100, this is the ultimate list for keeping your fingers toasty even on the coldest of days.<\/p>\n

The Warmest Gloves and Mittens: At a Glance<\/h2>\n

Mainers Mitts<\/h3>\n

Sizes:<\/strong> XS\u2013XL (unisex)
Shell:<\/strong> Leather and nylon
Insulation:<\/strong> Recycled featherless 3M Thinsulate, Polartec Power Grid fleece<\/p>\n

Pros and Cons<\/strong>
+ Handy cuff pull loop
+ Durable goat leather and nylon shell
+ Fleecy lining
\u2013 Some break-in required<\/p>\n

Testers found Mainers Mitts to be some of the warmest non-heated mittens. The waterproof Gore-Tex liner keeps hands dry and wicks away moisture, while the recycled \u201cfeatherless\u201d 3M Thinsulate insulation adds plenty of warmth\u2014without the bulk.<\/p>\n

While the mittens did require several wears to break in, SKI<\/em> testers noted that the lack of bulk helped the mittens\u2019 dexterity. Even testers who prefer gloves were impressed by the mitt\u2019s flexibility.<\/p>\n

The parent company of Mainers, Tempshield, makes PPE for laboratories involved with cryogenics and has scientists working in temperatures below \u2212200\u00b0F, so you can rest assured knowing Mainers knows how to keep your hands warm.<\/p>\n

\"LEKI

LEKI Griffin Pro Zero<\/h3>\n

Sizes:<\/strong> 7\u201311 (unisex)
Shell:<\/strong> Leather
Insulation:<\/strong> PrimaLoft Gold<\/p>\n

Pros and Cons<\/strong>
+ Soft and durable full leather shell
+ Padded fingers and back of hand
+ Velcro cuff easily tucks under jacket
\u2013 Water-resistant, not waterproof<\/p>\n

Read the full review<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n

This LEKI glove is crafted with one of the warmest synthetic materials, PrimaLoft Gold (100 percent polyester). Testers loved how grippy the glove is and gave high marks for nimbleness. Testers also noted the gloves work with smartphone screens.<\/p>\n

A neoprene backing and leather shell will protect hands from high wind chill, but it\u2019s important to note the gloves are not 100 percent waterproof. Instead, they\u2019re water resistant, so it\u2019s best to leave them at home on wet spring days.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Gordini<\/figure>\n

Gordini Alp Pro Mitt<\/h3>\n

Sizes:<\/strong> S\u2013XL (men\u2019s); S\u2013L (women\u2019s)
Shell:<\/strong> Waxed leather
Insulation:<\/strong> Aquablock Down, high-pile fleece<\/p>\n

Pros and Cons<\/strong>
+ Breathable, not clammy
+ Supple leather
+ Neoprene undercuff with hook-and-loop closure
\u2013 Leather is hard to wash<\/p>\n

Read the full review<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n

What sets Gordini\u2019s Alp Pro Mitt apart from the competition is its waxed leather, which keeps heat in and moisture out.<\/p>\n

SKI<\/em> testers loved the mitten\u2019s breathability and found that even when temperatures started to rise, hands didn\u2019t go clammy. The waxed leather exterior keeps the elements out and also preserves the mitten\u2019s lifespan so you can use it year after year. The interior is a mixture of down and fleece, so hands remain warm without overheating.<\/p>\n

One tester even went so far as to call the mittens one of the nicest they\u2019ve ever worn.<\/p>\n

The mitten\u2019s strongest asset is also a weakness: the waxed leather makes them harder to clean, so perhaps use a tissue instead of a mitten for wiping up messes.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Columbia<\/figure>\n

Columbia PowBound Gloves<\/h3>\n

Sizes:<\/strong> S\u2013XL (men\u2019s); XS\u2013XL (women\u2019s)
Shell:<\/strong> Polyester with goatskin leather palm
Insulation:<\/strong> 200g recycled and virgin polyester<\/p>\n

Pros and Cons<\/strong>
+ Great value
+ Men\u2019s and women\u2019s sizes
+ Articulated fit
\u2013 Run small<\/p>\n

Read the full review<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n

The PowBound gloves may lack some of the bells and whistles of the more expensive options on our list, but they do have two of the most important factors: weather protection and polyester insulation.<\/p>\n

Testers noted that the gloves are likely not going to last as long as some of the others on this list, but they\u2019ll be sturdy for at least a few seasons. Other pros are the wrist straps, so you can guarantee no gloves will be dropped from the chairlift, and a handy clip to keep them from running off solo.<\/p>\n

Testers also noted the gloves run a little snug, so when in doubt, size up.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Hestra

Hestra Fall Line Glove<\/h3>\n

Sizes:<\/strong> 6\u201311 (unisex)
Shell:<\/strong> Cowhide, neoprene cuff
Insulation:<\/strong> Foam<\/p>\n

Pros and Cons<\/strong>
+ Removable liners
+ Ultra burly
+ Comes with leashes and wrist grommets with carabiner for easy clipping
\u2013 Requires break-in period<\/p>\n

Read the full review<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n

If you look closely, you\u2019ll find Hestra gloves being sported at almost any resort\u2014they\u2019re the popular kid for a reason.<\/p>\n

SKI<\/em> testers voted the Fall Line glove from Hestra \u201cmost rugged\u201d because of the materials that go into keeping hands warm and dry all day long. The exterior is composed of cowhide and treated with leather balm to create a barrier against the elements. Hestra gloves also come with a mini tube of said leather balm so you can treat your gloves as needed.<\/p>\n

The interior of the glove is composed of brushed polyester and foam, which helps insulate chilly fingers without overheating. Small details, like a seam over the fingertips, help to reduce pressure points, and when you\u2019re holding a pole tightly, that\u2019s a noticeable difference.<\/p>\n

The one downfall SKI<\/em> testers noted was that the glove can feel a bit stiff when fresh out of the packaging, and the Fall Line requires some love before it comes nice and soft.<\/p>\n

\"Swany

Swany Nexus Heated Glove<\/h3>\n

Sizes:<\/strong> XS\u2013XL (unisex)
Battery Life:<\/strong> 8 hours on low, 4 hours on normal, 3 hours on high, 2 hours on boost; dual battery capacity<\/p>\n

Pros and Cons<\/strong>
+ Also available in a mitt
+ High-quality leather
+ No battery removal for charging
\u2013 Charger can get disconnected easily
\u2013 Not touchscreen compatible<\/p>\n

Read the full review<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n

As one of two heated options on this list, we figured we had to mention SKI<\/em> testers\u2019 best heated glove overall. The Swany Nexus Heated Glove isn\u2019t cheap, but for those who suffer from cold hands, it\u2019s well worth the hefty price tag.<\/p>\n

Testers raved about the glove\u2019s ewool, a new technology that delivers heat to each finger, all the way to the fingertips. The PrimaLoft insulation and the leather shell don\u2019t add much bulk. The glove\u2019s lightweight density and soft feel had testers noting that the glove was both the warmest and most comfortable of the bunch.<\/p>\n

Best of all, you don\u2019t need to remove the batteries to charge the gloves; there\u2019s a built-in port on the cuff of the glove. Plus, they\u2019re TSA-compliant, so you can keep them in your carry-on bag.<\/p>\n

\"Pair<\/figure>\n

Outdoor Research Sureshot Heated Soft-Shell Gloves<\/h3>\n

Sizes:<\/strong> S\u2013XL (men\u2019s); S\u2013L (women\u2019s)
Battery Life:<\/strong> 8 hours on low, 5 hours on medium, 2.25 hours on high<\/p>\n

Pros and Cons<\/strong>
+ Zippered gauntlet cuff
+ Very low profile
+ Exceptionally breathable
\u2013 Not for the coldest temperatures<\/p>\n

Read the full review<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n

While most of the gloves and mittens on this list are made for cold outdoor pursuits, the Sureshot from Outdoor Research is for everyday use. Frigid dog walks, games in outdoor stadiums, and nights by the campfire are all perfect occasions for a heated glove that isn\u2019t meant for extreme temperatures or hardcore activities. Unlike many other heated gloves on the market, these are even touchscreen compatible.<\/p>\n

The two-layer woven stretch exterior means the gloves are water- and wind-resistant. And even though the gloves aren\u2019t 100 percent waterproof, the synthetic insulation kept hands warm even when the gloves were wet.<\/p>\n

Testers noted that the smaller wrist batteries were barely noticeable, and on the lowest setting, the gloves will produce heat for eight full hours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
