Ski Gloves – the right grip, warmth, and comfort for long days on the slopes
The right ski gloves can transform a cold day on the slopes into a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Hands are often the first to get cold, which is why good gloves are just as important as a warm jacket or a pair of comfortable ski boots. With us, you'll find a wide selection of ski gloves and snowboard gloves for men, women, and juniors. We offer models from leading brands such as Hestra Gloves, known for their quality, function, and fit, and we also carry several other brands.
It's especially exciting for us at Roupéz Skidshop that Hestra Gloves have their roots in the same area as us.
Just like us, this brand comes from the towns of Hestra and Isaberg, where craftsmanship, skiing, and tradition meet.
Choose the right ski glove for your skiing style
There are many types of gloves, and which one you should choose depends on both the weather and your skiing style.
-
Five-finger gloves offer maximum freedom of movement and are suitable for those who want a good grip on their poles or need to quickly adjust their helmet and bindings.
-
Three-finger gloves combine the freedom of movement of a five-finger glove with the warmth of a mitten. A perfect compromise for those who want the best of both worlds.
-
Mittens are the warmest option, where fingers warm each other. They are perfect for cold days, children, or those who easily get cold hands.
For those who ski a lot in damp weather, gloves with a waterproof membrane are an obvious choice. They keep out rain, snow, and slush while allowing moisture to escape from within. If you want a more durable and natural feel, leather gloves are a classic choice. They mold to your hand and last for many years – especially if you regularly treat them with, for example, Hestra Leather Balm.
Layering for your hands
A simple way to keep your hands warm is to wear liners under your gloves. They act as an extra insulating layer and protect against cold when you take off your main glove. Just make sure the main glove isn't too tight; a little air provides better insulation and comfort.
Materials and properties
Quality gloves are built on good materials. Here are some things to consider:
-
Leather provides long life and a natural feel
-
Synthetic materials are lightweight, quick-drying, and affordable
-
Membrane (e.g., GORE-TEX) keeps moisture out but allows sweat to escape
-
Wool or synthetic insulation provides warmth even when hands are damp
Good gloves should breathe, insulate, and provide good grip – all at the same time.
