How to Choose Ski Gloves?

The selection method of ski gloves.

Ski gloves, just as the name implies, are gloves worn for skiing. There is obvious that they are worn in a snow-covered environment to protect the hands from cold and keep warm.

But ski gloves are not only to keep warm, they also have other functions for specific purposes. So how to choose ski gloves? We can make choices from the following five aspects.

1.Fabric quality
The fabric quality is of course the first element to consider. Since falling and bumping are inevitable, we must put the fabric quality first when we choose ski gloves.

Personal safety is the most important and we can only enjoy fun of skiing under safe conditions with healthy body.

The fabric must have a certain degree of resistance to cutting, abrasion and tearing. If the fabric used in the gloves is not strong enough and easy to break, our hands may be injured.

In professional ski gloves, even the Kevlar material which is used to make body armor is chosen as the main protective part of the gloves, and such gloves are very strong and safe.

Remember that when choosing ski gloves, put the fabric quality in the first place.

2.Waterproof fabric
Ski gloves should be waterproof when used outdoors.

It is well known that snow is changed from water, so gloves must be waterproof. To avoid contact of cold air and snow with your hands, leather, rubber or chemical fiber materials are often used as the outer fabric to ensure protection from cold and keep warm.

Gloves made of cotton, wool, fluff and other materials are very likely to stick to snow, which will make inside and outside of the gloves quickly become damp and cold, and even severely frostbite the fingers.

In this circumstance, bare-hand skiing is better than wearing wool gloves, and fleece and wool gloves have negative effects.

3.Keep warm and breathable
As mentioned above, keeping warm the basic requirement for ski gloves.

Skiing is played in a low temperature environment, and we can only enjoy the joy when our hands are warm. With cold hands, I believe that everyone will not be happy during skiing, so we should choose cold-proof gloves.

In addition, breathability is also very important for ski gloves. When we ski, our hands will inevitably produce sweat. If the sweat cannot be volatilized in time, our hands will be uncomfortable in the inside wet gloves, and we will feel cold if we reduce exercises.

Constant sweaty hands and airtight gloves will generate unpleasant smell and unbearable feeling.

4.Finger gloves (required for double-boards skiing)
Finger gloves are needed for double-boards skiing, to ensure flexible finger operation.

With finger gloves, it is easy and convenient for us to go up and down the cable car, pull the zipper in the snow, take things, adjust the snowboard, sled, etc.

When choosing finger gloves, appropriate size and thickness is very important. Some ski gloves are specially made into the shape of natural bending fingers.

Such an intimate design can make the skiers wear more naturally and comfortably. It is better to have longer wrist part or wrist guard structure design, because it can prevent the wrestler from injured when pressing the ground.

5.Anti-slip performance
The anti-slip performance of ski gloves is a must, so that we can grasp things more firmly and reliably. The palm and fingers part must be anti-slip, so that it is convenient for us to play snowball fights, hold snowboards, pull and drag cable cars, etc.
