Mittens are built to keep hands warm by letting fingers share heat inside one compartment. This category combines Winter mittens for daily cold weather with Ski mittens designed for long, wet snow days. The focus is on dependable insulation, weatherproof materials and details that are practical on and off the mountain.

Weather protection starts with the shell. Hardwearing nylon or leather outers resist abrasion from poles, packs and rough surfaces. Many models add a waterproof and breathable membrane to block snow and slush while letting moisture escape, helping hands stay dry longer. Windproof fabrics cut icy gusts, and DWR finishes shed light precipitation.

Insulation is typically synthetic for reliable warmth in damp conditions. Loft and density vary from lightweight options for active movement to high-loft builds for deep winter. Some designs feature removable liners for quicker drying and easier temperature control. A soft fleece or wool blend lining improves next-to-skin comfort and helps manage moisture.

Useful features make a difference in daily use. Gauntlet cuffs seal out spindrift and pair well with ski jackets, while shorter cuffs slide neatly under sleeves for commuting or hiking. Wrist leashes reduce the chance of dropping a mitten from a chairlift. Grip patches on the palm improve pole handling and durability. Nose-wipe panels and simple one-pull closures are common, and some styles add a touchscreen-ready thumb for quick device checks.

Fit should allow a thin air layer around the fingers. Too tight reduces warmth; too loose compromises dexterity. Sizing charts from each brand are helpful, and trying with any intended liner glove ensures the right volume. Choosing undercuff or gauntlet styles depends on jacket cuffs and preferred layering.

Care is straightforward. After wet days, remove liners if possible and air-dry thoroughly away from direct heat. Reapply DWR to fabric shells when water stops beading. Treat leather palms with appropriate balm to maintain flexibility and water resistance. Store clean and fully dry.
