Why are ski gloves important?

Quality gloves with good insulation, waterproofing, and breathability are essential—especially on long days in the mountains.

Ski gloves, mittens, or three-finger gloves - what should you choose?

Five-finger ski gloves

Five-finger ski gloves provide you with the best dexterity and mobility. They are ideal if you often need to tighten ski boots, open bags, or use your phone. Many choose this type for the good grip and versatility they offer.HestraSki gloves are known for their durability, comfort, and innovative materials that ensure both warmth and breathability.

Mittens - maximum warmth for cold days

Mittens gather all fingers in one space, providing maximum warmth. They are perfect for the coldest days on the slopes when the cold bites especially hard. Mittens are particularly recommended for children and adults who easily get cold fingers. Hestra mittens are popular for their soft lining, effective insulation, and sturdy exterior that lasts for many seasons.

Three-finger ski gloves - the best of both worlds

Three-finger ski gloves combine the benefits of both ski gloves and mittens. You get mobility for the thumb and index finger, while the other fingers are kept together for extra warmth. This type is ideal for those who want flexibility without compromising on warmth and comfort.

Ski gloves for children - extra focus on warmth and fit

Children need ski gloves that are easy to put on, fit well, and keep their hands warm all day. At One Open Sky, we have a large selection of ski gloves and mittens for children, where both fit, insulation, and durability are top-notch. Opt for mittens for the little ones, as they retain warmth the best. Many of our children's models have adjustable closures and extra reinforcements, so they can handle both play and skiing.

Materials and technology - how to choose the best ski gloves

Insulation and warmth

Insulation is key to warm ski gloves. Primaloft is a popular choice because it is lightweight, breathable, and retains warmth even if the glove gets damp. Wool and synthetic fibers are also often used as lining. Consider how cold it will be on your ski trip and choose insulation accordingly.

Waterproofness and breathability

Waterproof ski gloves keep your hands dry even in wet snow or rain. Membranes like Gore-Tex or Hestra's own technologies ensure the glove is both waterproof and breathable. This means sweat can escape while water and snow are kept out.

Durability and grip

Ski gloves must withstand many hours of use. Leather reinforcements in the palm provide extra durability and a good grip on ski poles and equipment. Hestra is especially known for their leather gloves, which combine durability with comfort.

Fit and comfort

A good fit is essential for both warmth and comfort. Ski gloves should neither be too tight nor too loose. Feel free to try several models and choose the one that fits snugly without pinching. Many models have adjustable straps and cuffs, allowing you to adjust them to your hand and outerwear.

Ski gloves with extra features

• Touchscreen-compatible fingertips- so you can use your smartphone without taking off the gloves.
• Built-in wrist straps- so you don't lose your ski gloves on the lift.
• Heating elements- battery-heated ski gloves for the most extreme conditions.
• Reflectors and colors- make yourself visible on the slopes, especially to children.

Maintenance of ski gloves

To ensure your ski gloves last many seasons, you should dry them after use, avoid placing them on a warm radiator, and follow the washing instructions. Leather gloves benefit from leather grease to remain soft and water-repellent.
