The 7 Best Ski Gloves of 2025

Best Overall Ski Gloves

Rab Khroma Freeride Gore-Tex Gloves

Gauntlet or Cuff	Gauntlet
Double or Single Glove	Single
Palm Material	Pittards Armor-Tan® Goat leather
Inner Glove Material	Pile
Waterproof Material	Gore-Tex Plus Warm

If we could only have one glove for hitting the slopes, the Rab Khroma Freeride would be it. This is the all-around highest-performing glove we tested. Other gloves might be better for specific tasks, but nothing performs as well. This glove excels in almost all of our tests for weather resistance, dexterity, construction quality, and warmth. We found it to be one of the most storm-proof gloves on the market, with a Gore-Tex membrane and water-resistant materials. The fingers are packed with toasty insulation, yet they are still the most dexterous gloves that provide this level of warmth. Guide and tester Jeff Dobronyi says “Their impressive dexterity means I can keep the gloves on while zipping zippers, buckling boots, and using an avalanche transceiver.” He has been wearing the same pair of these gloves for three seasons without much wear and tear to show for it.

One of the things we miss in the glove is an adjustable wrist cinch strap; it offers only an internal elastic wrist strap to keep the glove tight on the hand. There are fewer features overall than other gloves on the market, but the set of features it does have works very well, and we never find ourselves complaining. These gloves are an excellent choice for most skiers and riders demanding the highest performance out of their gear. One of our testers summed it up well, saying, “These are a great choice for skiing on the coldest days of winter.” They are also perfect for snowshoeing and even cold urban travel. They weren't the absolute warmest glove we tested, though, so if that's your main priority above all else, check out the Outdoor Research Prevail Heated Gore-Tex Gloves. We also like the Arc'teryx Fission SV, which performs nearly as well and even provides just a hair more weather resistance, but the Khroma is a bit more dexterous thanks to more precise tailoring.

Best Overall Ski Mittens

Black Diamond Mercury Mitt

Gauntlet or Cuff	Gauntlet
Double or Single Glove	Double
Palm Material	Goat leather
Inner Glove Material	Recycled fleece
Waterproof Material	BD.dry

The Black Diamond Mercury Mitt is the best overall mitten in our test group. Users who prefer to use mittens generally due so for their improved warmth compared to ski gloves, and these are the warmest mittens on the market thanks to their insulated liners, fleece lining, and roomy hand cavity where fingers can share warmth. They are also effective at sealing out liquid water, thanks to a waterproof membrane and large gauntlets. The construction is solid as well, promising a long life. We also like the additional features like the hanging loop for quicker drying and the comfortable nose wipe patch on the thumb. Our lead tester says, “These mittens are a lifesaver for cold hands on the most miserable days of winter.”

The obvious drawback with mittens is that you can't use your individual fingers, and the Mercury Mitts are no exception. In fact, they have the worst dexterity of any model we tested. When warmth is the main concern, dexterity might take a backseat, but these mitts are hard to use for even the most basic tasks, like zipping up a jacket or buckling boots. One tester said, “I have to take these mittens off to do literally anything with my fingers.” They don't include a wrist leash, so they can potentially get lost when removed, which is bound to happen often due to their lack of dexterity. If you can tolerate less water resistance and want to save some cash, check out the The North Face Montana Ski Mitts below. The Black Diamond Guide is a thick glove that is nearly as warm as this mitten but offers slightly more dexterity. With that in mind, most folks seek mittens because they find gloves too cold. If that's you, the Mercury Mitt is still one of the best mittens we've ever tested.

Best Bang for your Buck

Gordini GTX Storm

Gauntlet or Cuff	Gauntlet
Double or Single Glove	Single
Palm Material	Polyurethane
Inner Glove Material	Polyester
Waterproof Material	Gore-Tex

In the outdoor industry, products tend to come and go as materials improve and designs evolve, but the Gordini GTX Storm has been around for a long time, and we hope it stays that way. Our testers are continually impressed by how well this glove can hang with the high-end competition while costing significantly less. Our field tests proved the Storm Trooper is more than capable of meeting the needs of the average resort skier. It's warm enough for the average cold day on the slopes and does a decent job of keeping moisture out. It has reasonable dexterity and enough leather on the hand to provide good durability. Our lead tester observed that “these gloves can take a beating and have already lasted a few years of periodic use.”

We found these gloves warm enough for most days at the ski resort during our testing, but they can't compare to other well-insulated or heated models like the Outdoor Research Prevail. The Gordini GTX Storm packs insulation around the fingertips, which hinders dexterity and rules out general tasks that require fine motor skills, like opening small zippers or searching for items in pockets. We'd recommend a more dexterous glove like the Black Diamond Legend for users like on-snow professionals or parents. Still, given the affordable price, we can forgive these minor drawbacks, and we recommend the Storm Trooper II to anyone needing high-performance gloves at a bargain price.

Best Bang For Your Buck Mitten

The North Face Montana Ski Mitts

Gauntlet or Cuff	Gauntlet
Double or Single Glove	Single
Palm Material	Synthetic leather
Inner Glove Material	Raschel fleece
Waterproof Material	DryVent

If you're looking for a toasty, comfortable pair of mittens that fits into a tighter budget, The North Face Montana Ski Mitts is an affordable option worth considering. They score only a little lower than the Black Diamond Mercury Mitt but are half the price. The lofty synthetic insulation and fleece lining combine to provide impressive comfort and plenty of warmth for those uber-cold days. The nylon shell fabric is coated with a durable water-repellant (DWR), and these mitts feature a DryVent waterproof membrane that keeps moisture from penetrating. The last physical barrier against the elements is a gauntlet cuff that can be cinched closed around your jacket. They also come loaded with convenient and user-friendly features like a soft nose wipe, elastic wrist leashes, a wrist cinch strap, and a touchscreen-compatible thumb material. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised by this mitten, and our lead tester remarked, “I'm content to wear these mittens on mellow days at the ski hill during average temperatures.”

A major disadvantage with any mitten is lack of dexterity, and the Montana Ski Mitts are among the least dexterous we've tested. Due to their design and relative bulk, you'll probably have to take off these mitts for practically any tasks involving fine motor skills. That said, most folks seeking the warmth and comfort of a mitten are aware of this issue and willing to accept the tradeoff in dexterity for happy hands. If the lack of dexterity is a dealbreaker, but you like the looks and specs of this mitten, The North Face also has the Montana Ski Gloves that you can check out. Either way, these are a great pair of mittens that will keep your digits toasty on the coldest days without breaking the bank. If you're in the market for a basic version that's even more affordable than these, check out the Flylow Oven Mitt.

Best Heated Glove

Outdoor Research Prevail Heated Gore-Tex Gloves

Gauntlet or Cuff	Gauntlet
Double or Single Glove	Single
Palm Material	Water resistant goat leather
Inner Glove Material	100% polyester fleece 320 g
Waterproof Material	Gore-Tex

The Outdoor Research Prevail Heated Gore-Tex is packed full of performance in every metric that we test except for dexterity. It has three battery-powered warmth settings to keep you warm all day on the slopes and plenty of insulation to keep you toasty if the batteries die. It has excellent construction quality, protecting your investment, and the gloves effectively seal out unwanted water and snow from the outside environment. We saw the tightly sewn seams and the Gore-Tex lining do their jobs, keeping almost all moisture out during our dunk test. Our lead tester sings their praise, saying “These gloves are impervious to wet weather, which makes them seem even warmer.” With leather reinforcements on the thumbs and fingertips, you can count on these gloves to hold their own through heavy use.

Since these gloves have so much insulation, they aren't very dexterous or sensitive in the fingers. Unsurprisingly, adding batteries and heating elements to a pair of gloves comes with a cost, and the Prevail Heated Gore-Tex gloves aren't exactly cheap. Check out the Black Diamond Guide if you want the warmest option that doesn't require recharging and won't break the bank. On the other hand, when looking at the big picture, the OR Prevail gloves are less expensive than some others we have tested, and we feel they perform better. The price might be a deterrent for some, but for those with chronically cold hands or who ski in particularly cold climates, it might be worth the extra cash.

Best Deal for a Heated Glove

Savior Heat Rechargeable

Gauntlet or Cuff	Gauntlet
Double or Single Glove	Single
Palm Material	Sheep leather
Inner Glove Material	Wool, cotton
Waterproof Material	Unknown

The Savior Heat Rechargeable is one of the most affordable heated gloves on the market, and it performs decently well in other regards, making it a good choice for users with cold hands and tight budgets. The heating element works well, providing gentle warmth on the lowest setting and scorching heat on the highest. As is the case for most electrically heated gloves, the impressive warming ability is the main draw, but in the case of the Savior, a collection of useful features makes it stand out from other budget models. The gauntlets offer full coverage and are easy to cinch down around jacket sleeves, and a hook-and-loop adjustment allows you to get the wrist fit nice and snug. The battery lasts about as long as other heated gloves on the market, and our lead tester noted that “the touchscreen-compatible fingertips are super useful,” another positive attribute.

The biggest downside to these gloves is their lack of weather resistance. In our submersion test, these gloves were waterlogged in less than two minutes, effectively meaning that they aren't waterproof at all. The fingers weren't dexterous enough for us to manage to get our keys out of our pockets, but we were able to zip our jackets and buckle our ski boots at least. The palm design gives us reason to doubt their longevity, even though we found no problems during our initial test period. If you're considering heated gloves but are scared off by their high price tag, these offer a solid compromise, but you might be better off with a more durable and waterproof option like the cozy Leki Xplore S, which delivers great performance across the board for a similar price. The Swany X-Change also provides great warmth and costs about the same. However, both of these models count on your fingers to generate their own heat, so if you have chronically cold hands, the Savior might still be your best bet; just don't let them get wet.

Best for Backcountry Use

Black Diamond Tour

Gauntlet or Cuff	Cuff
Double or Single Glove	Single
Palm Material	Goatskin leather
Inner Glove Material	150 g fleece
Waterproof Material	Pertex Shield

The Black Diamond Tour is a backcountry-specific glove with minimal insulation and a light set of features. It's perfect for skinning, bootpacking, and ski descents in warmer conditions, but it doesn't pack enough punch for most resort skiing. It has a soft fleece lining and a proprietary waterproof and breathable membrane, both of which our testers found effective enough for staving off backcountry cold, where your body heat is enough to keep your hands warm and dry. However, these gloves don't offer enough protection in cold winds and driving snow at the ski resort, where you're spending a good portion of your time sitting on a ski lift. Others, like the Black Diamond Mercury Mitt, are made to shine in this environment.

Compared to other options we tested that offer extensive feature sets, these gloves are pretty minimal, with only a nose wipe and a keeper clip. That might not seem like much, but to be honest, we found these are the only features we really need in the backcountry, and we appreciate saving on weight. Our lead tester, ski guide Jeff Dobronyi, says, “These are my go-to gloves for nearly every day of the winter in the backcountry.” They are also surprisingly durable, given their soft leather construction. Usually, our professional testers burn through leather gloves quickly, but these gloves are still going strong after an extensive test period. The Hestra Ergo Grip Active is a similar glove with even less insulation, and we know plenty of people who ski the backcountry with the Flylow Ridge. If you are looking for good dexterity for the backcountry but a bit more warmth, the Black Diamond Legend is a good choice.

How We Tested

To find the best ski gloves and mitts available, we started by digging deep into the market. After extensive research of high-quality and popular gloves, we purchased the most intriguing models and sent them to our expert testers. Then we thoroughly used and evaluated each pair and scored them in key performance metrics. We tested warmth by riding chairlifts and skiing in the Cascades, Alps, Wasatch, British Columbia, Jackson Hole, and Northeast US, as well as working in the field with avalanche forecasting teams. We tested dexterity by buckling our boots, hand writing notes, tying boot laces, and unlocking car doors with gloves on. We tested water resistance by dunking the gloves in a bucket of water for two minutes and comparing the results. For more details on our testing, we spell it all out in our How We Test article.

We use five rating metrics in our ski glove testing:

• Warmth (25% of total score weighting)

• Dexterity (25% weighting)

• Water and Weather Resistance (25% weighting)

• Construction Quality (15% weighting)

• Features (10% weighting)

Why Trust GearLab

IFMGA Mountain Guide Jeff Dobronyi leads our test team for this comparative review. Jeff leads skiers on powder safaris worldwide, exploring the best resorts, side-country freeride runs, and backcountry ski tours. He logs over 120 days on skis each year and needs gloves that will keep his hands warm and keep water out. He typically goes through a few pairs of gloves each season, and over the years, he has gotten to know which gloves will last and which will fall apart after a few weeks. From rappelling into steep couloirs to digging snow pits and skiing deep powder day after day, Jeff's gloves take a beating.

Analysis and Test Results

As consumers, we have high expectations of our gloves, and there is a lot to consider before buying. First off, know that all of the gloves featured in this review are great products that already stand above the vast majority of the market offerings. A low score in our review doesn't mean that the glove is unworthy of your attention. We had to be picky to find the best of the best. All scores are relative to the other products reviewed, and each performance metric is weighted relative to its general importance, which produces an overall score.

What's the Best Value?

Every skier has a budget, and although we strive to test gear without regard for price, we also make a note of products that score above or below what we think is reasonable, given their price. While many of the best gloves are also the most expensive, there are a few options that provide excellent performance at a lower price than similar products. We bought several promising, affordable gloves, and the Gordini GTX Storm impressed us the most. It covers the bases better than any model in its price range. It keeps our hands warm and dry and has displayed excellent durability. Similarly, The North Face Montana Mitts are super warm, comfortable, and fully-featured mittens that rival the performance of more expensive options at a much lower price.

In general, we find that the less expensive gloves put less emphasis on durability and dexterity in their materials and construction. When treated properly, real leather should last longer than synthetic fabrics, especially in high-use areas like the palms and fingertips. However, genuine leather is also more expensive, which means you'll have to pay more for higher-quality gloves. Warmth also usually correlates with price, as more (or more effective) insulation makes a glove more expensive. However, the Leki Xplore S delivers warmth and durability on par with the best gloves at a much lower price. Water resistance can be achieved without using expensive Gore-Tex, but in our testing, it's still hard to beat. The Gore-Tex gloves proved better weatherproofing in our tests than the less expensive alternatives.

Lastly, it takes a skilled garment designer to combine all of the components into a warm, waterproof, and durable glove without sacrificing dexterity. We were impressed by the Arc'teryx Fission SV and Rab Khroma Freeride in this aspect because they combine all of the performance attributes into a comfortable and streamlined glove that is a pleasure to wear. However, you'll pay for this performance.

Warmth

To most users, the primary function of ski and snowboard gloves is to keep the hands warm. Some skiers need gloves for extremely low temperatures, while others just need warmth for an average winter day on the slopes. A number of things come into play when figuring out how warm a glove will be and how warm of a glove you need. Insulation type, cuff style, and glove vs mitten are all factors that make a difference.

The warmest glove we tested was the Black Diamond Guide. Tester Ian Nicholson used this pair to summit two mountains over 20,000 ft above sea level and never changed into his mittens despite summit temperatures as low as -42 degrees Fahrenheit. The Rab Khroma Freeride, Arc'teryx Fission SV, Leki Xplore S, Swany X-Cell, and Swany X-Change also provide enough warmth for our testers on cold winter days at a ski resort.

On the other hand, the Black Diamond Tour has little more warming capability than your average leather work glove and is best used by backcountry skiers who create heat while climbing uphill. The Hestra Ergo Grip Active has no insulation at all, and similarly, it should only be an option if you plan to work up a sweat on your ski days or if you typically run warm.

Mitten Warmth

This one was pretty easy to determine. We found the Black Diamond Mercury Mitt to be the top dog by a wide margin. The North Face Montana Mitt is nearly on par in terms of warmth with a similar overall design, lofty insulation, and cozy fleece lining. Both mitten options are warmer than nearly all of the unheated glove options.

Heated Glove Warmth

Many manufacturers now offer gloves that produce heat electronically instead of simply capturing and retaining your hand's natural warmth. We've tested several over the years, and the Outdoor Research Prevail Heated is our current favorite. These kinds of gloves usually have three heat settings. The lowest settings generally last all day on a full charge, while the highest setting usually drained the batteries within a couple of hours during our tests. Heated gloves are the only models that are able to take our hands from numb to warm in a matter of minutes at the press of a button. Some of our testers preferred to blast the heater on high for a few minutes and then turn them off to save battery power.

Dexterity

There's no point in wearing warm ski gloves if we have to take them off every five minutes in the winter cold to zip jackets, buckle boots, and take photos. Dexterity measures the ability of each glove to allow the user to perform basic tasks without removing their gloves or mittens. To test dexterity, we wore the glove through a full day of skiing and attempted to perform every necessary task without removing them. We also performed objective tests by doing a series of side-by-side tasks to make clear distinctions between products. These tests included reaching into pockets for car keys, attaching lift tickets to pockets, using zippers, adjusting goggles on a helmet, lacing up winter boots, tying climbing knots with rope, and writing legibly with a pen on paper.

The Hestra Ergo Grip Active easily wins the dexterity category with its thin fingers and nonexistent insulation. This glove is made specifically for backcountry users on the warmest days of the ski season. We also love the Black Diamond Tour for dexterity, which features excellent tailoring and soft leather for ideal grip. But again, this is a glove made for backcountry use.

Among the warmer gloves, the recommended Rab Khroma Freeride has the most precise dexterity, followed closely by the Arc'teryx Fission SV, Leki Xplore S, Black Diamond Legend, and Outdoor Research Alpinite. All of these gloves have enough dexterity to perform most detailed tasks without needing to expose your hands to the cold.

Water Resistance

In some climates, like the Pacific Northwest and the Northeast, wet weather is encountered regularly while skiing. In others, like the Rocky Mountains, dry snow is the norm. We wore each glove in soggy conditions in Washington and British Columbia and tested for water resistance using a 2-minute submersion test in a bucket of water. The best gloves keep all liquid water out of the interior chamber and resist soaking in the outer shell fabric. The worst performers lack an adequate waterproof membrane and soak through quickly.

The Black Diamond Legend was the most water-resistant glove in our submersion test when we measured the weight of water absorbed. The treated leather and soft shell exterior fabrics absorbed only 14% of the glove's weight in water when fully submerged for 2 minutes. The Arc'teryx Fission SV, Black Diamond Guide, Rab Khroma Freeride, and Hestra Army Leather Gore-Tex were close behind, absorbing 20-30% of their weight in water. Each shares the same design components, with a sturdy softshell fabric around the wrist and back of the hand and tightly stitched leather that makes up the palm and fingers. All of these gloves use Gore-Tex membranes to increase water resistance. The Montana and Mercury mitts also performed well during water resistance testing and kept water out completely.

Aside from the fabric itself, snow can also enter a glove through the wrist opening. Most gloves in our review feature a large wrist gauntlet with a drawstring closure that overlaps with a jacket's wrist cuff, making a formidable defense against water trying to enter the glove. This gauntlet, as seen on many of the gloves including the Mercury Mitt, BD Guide, Fission SV, Rab Khroma, Swany X-Change, Swany X-Cell, and Hestra Army Leather Heli, can be worn on the outside or the inside of a jacket sleeve.

Construction Quality

Based on our experiences with each model, we assessed strength in construction and evidence of durability. We used these products in punishing conditions during the testing period with daily and prolonged wear, using them over multiple ski seasons when possible. We also gathered valuable input from dozens of other users and OutdoorGearLab friends.

We're continually impressed with Hestra's offerings, which feature high-quality materials and excellent design and craftsmanship, model after model. Other impressive gloves are the Black Diamond Guide, Rab Khroma, and Arc'teryx Fission SV. All have burly leather exteriors that stand up to whatever our testing team tosses their way. Regarding the budget-friendly options, the Gordini GTX Storm provides impressive longevity, and the inexpensive Black Diamond Tour was surprisingly durable, given its soft and supple leather.

We were disappointed in the Black Diamond Legend's construction quality. It has incredibly supple palm leather, but unfortunately, it wore down and developed holes quickly. This was a bummer because if the leather were a bit more durable, the Legend would be a top contender for an award. Similarly, the soft leather of the Flylow Ridge and Flylow Oven Mitt softens from frequent use and wears out quickly.

Features

Ski gloves come with a set of features that augment their performance and make your day on the ski hill more convenient and comfortable. We inspected and used all of the features on each glove to get a good idea of which had a robust set of tools and which were bare-bones. We compared features such as gauntlet or cuff closures, wrist cinches, nose wipes, wrist leashes, clips, and heating elements. We also noted if the gloves came with liners.

The Swany gloves have the best set of features, including wrist cinch straps, gauntlets, handwarmer pockets, removable leashes, clips, pull tabs, and touchscreen-compatible leather. These are all the features we could ever want. The Mercury Mitt has many of the same features, with the addition of a nose wipe and removable liners. We also liked the set of features found on the BD Guide, and the affordable Gordini Storm Trooper II packs a full set of components. The Leki Xplore S even has a small cord loop that clips onto compatible Leki poles in lieu of pole straps.

Phones are now baked into our daily lives. The glove market has recognized that many people are using their phones on the slopes and has started providing touchscreen-compatible gloves. Many gloves claim to include sensitive pads on the tips of the forefingers, but in our tests, cold phone screens and even colder gloves had a hard time getting along. The Swany products, as well as the Savior Heat Rechargeable and MCTi SkiPro Classic On-Piste all had excellent touchscreen compatibility. The liners of the Dakine Titan are touchscreen compatible, which also helps mitigate this problem.

How to Choose The Best Ski Gloves

Finding a pair of gloves can feel overwhelming, with so many options on the market. To help narrow down your choices, we've put together a few key buying considerations that summarize our more complete Buying Advice article.

What Materials Should You Choose?

Ski gloves come in various natural and synthetic materials, the main idea being to protect your hands from the elements. Leather can prove great for its durability but takes more maintenance to maintain its waterproofing. For those who work in their gloves, leather is a popular choice, but synthetics tend to offer more dexterity and can provide better breathability. Synthetic gloves are often cheaper than high-quality leather gloves but typically don't last as long. If you're having a hard time choosing between the two, consider how important the longevity of your gloves is and how often you plan on using them. Leather will work best as a daily driver, but synthetic is cheaper and can be just as waterproof in many cases.

How Important is Waterproofing?

While most ski gloves will have some level of waterproofing, deciding how much is necessary will largely depend on your environment and use on the hill. For those in wetter climates, a good pair of Gore-Tex layered gloves becomes necessary, while someone in a drier climate may opt for more layers of insulation. To narrow your choices, consider your climate and how much time you spend using your gloves in the snow, whether working or playing.

Does Cuff Style Matter?

The decision between gauntlet vs undercuff style gloves is largely a personal preference, but the cuff of your jacket is also a factor. If you prefer to keep your gloves tucked under your cuff, undercuff-style gloves can feel more comfortable and provide better dexterity. Gauntlet-style cuffs are best for folks who want to avoid any chance of snow creeping into your glove, as they usually offer a cinch that you can tighten over the sleeve of your jacket. When deciding between the two, factor in the size of your jacket's cuffs and make a call on whether your glove could reasonably fit under (or over) your jacket cuff.

How Much Dexterity Do You Need?

If your work exposes you to the elements, or you have to tend to your kids on the slopes, or just prefer more dexterity while on the mountain, finding gloves with mobility can be a high priority. Generally, thicker gloves are warmer but have less dexterity. Striking a balance between warmth and dexterity is key to finding a suitable glove on the slopes.

Conclusion

With so many ski gloves and mittens on the market, it can be daunting to try to find the best pair for your needs. Our expert testers sorted through the field and tested the best of the best. They assessed each pair's strengths and weaknesses, allowing you to easily find the best glove or mitten for your preferences and your budget. From light and dexterous gloves for warm spring days to heavily insulated options for the coldest winter ski trips, there is something in this review for everyone. See you on the slopes.
