Warmth, waterproofing and ventilation: the criteria for choosing children’s ski and snowboard gloves

Children tend to be more sensitive to the cold than adults. That’s why you shouldn’t hesitate to choose thick, very warm types, such as mittens. Your kiddies will be even better protected with a fleece lining. You can also choose a thinner type to wear in combination with under gloves or fingerless ski gloves. Then, your children will be able to take off their gloves and start a snowball fight without being directly exposed to the cold. Also, make sure that the particular type of snowboard or ski gloves you choose is waterproof. In addition, they should be breathable to wick away perspiration more effectively. Nowadays, gloves in Gore-Tex are the best there are at combining these two features.
