What Are the Warmest Gloves for Children?

Keeping little fingers warm and dry can be tough when playing in the snow or participating in outdoor winter sports. Children who have gloves that do a good job of keeping their hands warm and dry will be comfortable staying outside for longer periods of time. It is worth the extra money to buy quality gloves for children who ski, sled, snowboard or hike during the winter months.

  1. Burton

    • Burton is a high-quality winter accessory brand that specializes in cold-weather gear for skiing and snowboarding. The Youth Vent Glove will keep your child's hands warm and dry. They are insulated for warmth but have a venting system that keeps sweat from building up in the glove, leading to cold, clammy hands. This glove also has a drawstring tie that can close around your child's wrist to keep the snow out.

    Trekmates

    • Trekmates Dry Classic Junior Waterproof Glove is another insulated glove good for cold temperatures. This glove's breathable quality comes from the materials used to make the glove. The insulation is lightweight and the fabric is breathable. The Trekmate glove is waterproof, windproof and good for cool to very cold weather. Your child will have full dexterity with this glove's flexible fingers and grippy palms. This glove would be a good choice for children who like to play in the snow, or use their hands when climbing and hiking. Trekmates also makes a Mountie Junior fleece glove that would keep children very warm, but it does not have waterproof lining.

    Spyder

    • Spyder is another popular ski accessory brand for adults that also makes children's gear. The Boy's Over Web glove and the Girl's Astrid Glove are both high-quality, very warm gloves. These gloves are dry, waterproof and breathable, and have elastic at the wrists to keep out snow. These gloves also have adjustable wrist straps for perfect fit and a soft material on the thumb to wipe a runny nose. The girl's version has a little zipper pocket made to hold a heating pad.

    Outdoor Designs

    • Outdoor Designs Junior Summit Glove is another waterproof, insulated and breathable option for kids. This glove has a cord that can tighten at the wrist to keep the snow and wind out. The outer part of the glove is made of nylon, and the palm has grippy material for dexterity. This glove also has curved fingers, making it a flexible and easy fit for small hands.
