Great snowboarding gloves for keeping warm

Filed under: Snowboarding Gear, Snowboarding Tips, Mountain Prep — Erica on January 13, 2008 @ 11:39 am

Back when I first started snowboarding, I used to wear what I thought were pretty warm gloves. Having grown up on the East Coast though, I know that mittens are by far much warmer than gloves (because your fingers are all mooshed together and they keep warmer that way.) And after days of freezing fingers, I wanted something much warmer on the hill!

So yeah, I saw the light and began wearing mittens. But sometimes mittens are just so cumbersome! Sometimes you want the dexterity of having separate fingers, but the warmth of mittens.

Well I have the solution for you! These Women’s Toaster Softy Mitts
are perfect - I first discovered them in Vail 3 years ago.

I picked up a pair myself in Whistler last week to replace my old ones. Here’s how they work:

You slip your fingers into the glove inner-liner…

Which you can then unzip on the side…

and access your four separate fingers when you need them to restrap your bindings, open your backpack, take a picture, unscrew your flask, etc.

These snowboarding gloves are the best! They keep you warm, AND give you the option to have more dexterity for detailed tasks without taking off your gloves. Plus, you can use the zipper to slip Hand Warmers right in next to your fingers - to keep even warmer!

Want to keep your hands warm while snowboarding? Go and get a pair of these; you won’t be sorry (and you won’t be cold!) Women’s Toaster Softy Mitts
