10 Best Ski Gloves UK 2024 | Hestra, The North Face, and More

Hestra has already received a shout-out on this list but we feel it deserves another because it really is the top brand when it comes to warm, wearable ski gloves! These mittens will keep your fingers far warmer than gloves, due to the brilliant G-loft polyester fibre layer which provides the ultimate in insulation.

There's leather too, which is combined with synthetic fabrics to make an amazingly warm pair. Best of all, the carabiner part means you can fasten these mittens together, saving you the frustration of losing one while out on the slopes. Trust us, you won't be disappointed with this duo!

Up in the mountains, temperatures can really drop so it's very fortunate that these gloves are effective during temperatures as low as -40°C! Frozen hands will well and truly be a thing of the past, but keeping out the cold isn't the only thing these gloves are good at. 

The tough leather palms will also protect your hands and add grip, so there's no chance of you dropping your poles on the slopes. Furthermore, the TPU layer makes these gloves a super waterproof option. They're even available as mittens too if you prefer that style!

The North Face is one of the most recognisable activewear brands, thanks to its ability to create clothing and accessories that cleverly combine looks and functionality. The simple style of these mittens will appeal to all, while the Radiametric Articulation™ technology helps to keep hands in their natural relaxed position.

Much thought has been put into keeping the heat in, around both the hands and around the wrists - there's an adjustable strap, an elasticated band, and a drawstring opening, which all work together to stop any harsh winds from getting in. 

Adventurous, committed skiers will need more protection than those who've just started out. These gloves provide extra barriers against the cold weather and more extreme surfaces. They've been designed for those who spend a lot of time on the slopes - ski instructions and guides, for example - so they're incredibly durable.

Four expertly-crafted layers come together to make a glove that's windproof and waterproof but still ultra-breathable. Since they're made for all genders and hand sizes, everyone can experience the wonders of a Hestra glove!

We love these gloves because they're available in a huge range of sizes. Although Amazon state that they're men's gloves, they come in unisex sizing so are in fact suitable for everyone! This is rather handy as they're a very budget-friendly option.

Two layers of waterproof protection will stop any moisture from coming in, plus there's an extra layer of insulation that makes these gloves ultra warm. In addition, the extra-long cuffs will stop draughts and also provide a decent amount of wrist support.

These gloves might not look particularly special, but it's what's hidden inside that makes them stand out. They use thermal reflective technology, with lots of small silver dots reflecting body heat back onto your hands. For the harder slopes, these gloves will let your hands breathe while still keeping water out. 

The only downside is the lack of sizes - they're designed specifically for men, so they'll be too big for most women to wear. Even for men, these gloves are only available in two sizes, which is a real shame!

Roxy is a popular skiwear brand thanks to its ability to combine fashion-forward design with the best in winter weather technology. The monochrome look of these gloves will go most with most ski outfits and still manages to be far more interesting than a block colour. Plus, if you're thinking about the practicalities, you'll be happy to know that these mittens have touchscreen compatibility too!

White always looks chic and it matches the snow perfectly, but over time you'll likely have difficulty trying to keep these gloves sparkling. Once they lose their brilliance, it'll be hard to get it back with a damp cloth, which is the only way that the manufacturer recommends cleaning them.

Well-known in Europe and the UK for creating good quality winter sports gear that won't break the bank, Decathlon brand WEDZE has done it again with these gloves. With their extra-long cuffs and secure velcro straps, there's no chance you'll feel any cold draughts!

It is perhaps unfair to put these gloves further down the list for their looks, but we think appearance is important and these definitely aren't the most fashionable of 5-fingered options. Of course, this could be the trade-off you're willing to make for top-notch wrist protection!

If you're a first-time skier looking for an affordable pair of gloves, then these are worth a look. Getting hold of ski gear that's waterproof doesn't mean you have to splash the cash, as this set shows. 

While a great option for beginners, these gloves are fairly simple and may struggle to provide the necessary warmth in more extreme conditions. They also don't cover much of your forearms, so the snow and wind could find their way in. 

Retro ski wear is all the rage on the slopes, but real vintage gear can lack the mod-cons that skiers of today want. With these gloves, you get that old-school look in addition to technology that will keep you happy - like touchscreen-compatible fingers!

Although the soft leather is flexible, it can still feel a little restrictive - particularly when you take into account that these gloves only come in one size. They have a fun design, but they won't work for everyone.
