10 Best Ski Gloves for Kids UK 2024 | Hestra, Trespass and More

These mittens might seem quite expensive, but there are so many reasons as to why you should consider splashing the cash. Being mittens, they will keep hands warmer than any gloves, but there's more in Hestra's arsenal than style that proves why they are such a go-to for winter sports enthusiasts. 

They comprise of a soft lining underneath multiple layers of insulation and waterproofing, covered by a goat leather palm and breathable cover help to make these mittens not only the warmest option, but also one of the most comfortable. Everything has been thought of, and even the zip pocket in the back provides somewhere to put a ski pass! 

The enormous cuffs on these gloves have an important role to play in keeping snow out and keeping warmth in. The extra material goes higher up the forearm, protecting wrists and making it harder for snow to find its way inside. 

Each part is adjustable, so the perfect fit can always be found. Decathlon is known for providing skiwear on a budget, and these gloves are no different, offering a good quality option at a lower price. 

Lots of gloves designed for kids don't quite match the quality of those made for adults, but that's certainly not the case with this pair from Hestra. Using the same market-leading materials as in their adult range, keeping hands warm won't be a chore.

They're constructed using multiple layers of different fabrics, each of which boasting thermal and protective qualities. For example, the GORE-TEX outer lends both breathability and waterproofing to these exceptionally-designed gloves. 

Another unisex option, these gloves can be enjoyed by girls and boys of different ages. The sizes are a good fit for slightly older children, and their muted colour and grown-up look suit this age bracket perfectly.

The textured palms mean there won't be any dropping of poles mid-piste, and the adjustable cuff and strap will stop any snow from coming in, or any chance of their hands coming out. 

Their bright and distinctive colour may be whet first drew you to these gloves, but there's plenty more on offer with this pair. They are wear-and-tear proof, which is perfect for older kids who are getting more adventurous on the piste. 

The soft fleece lining fits snuggly, and will cushion hands and fingers through any bumps or falls. Plus, the vivid colour will make them stand out if they get lost! 

Perfect for springtime skiing, these gloves are less bulky than the others on this list. But don't worry, they are still waterproof and offer plenty of warmth. If these gloves get a bit mucky, you'll have no issues giving them a thorough machine wash. 

Being less bulky does mean these gloves won't be suitable for the colder skiing months. That said, you'll be able to get wear out of them during day-to-day life, in addition to their usage on the slopes. 

As your child gets a bit older, they'll probably become more and more concerned with what they wear, and that includes their ski outfit. These gloves' black colour makes them versatile, unisex and a more grown-up option for children older than 9 years.

While these gloves do have an elasticated cuff, which will offer a certain level of security, this is the only fastening method there is. This means they are not as adjustable as gloves with straps and drawstring cords, and won't do such a good job of keeping out the snow. 

Gloves can be difficult to put on smaller hands, particular if those hands won't stay still. That's why these mittens have made it as easy as possible to get them on, with a long zip allowing you to place their hand inside with the knowledge that everything is in the right place before fastening it back up.

The design is cute and will appeal to young children, but the fact that these mittens aren't suitable for anyone over 4 is one of their big limitations. They don't have the most secure of fastenings, either. 

These gloves come in a choice of 7 different colours, so you can pick your youngster's favourite shade. Not only will they love the brightly coloured outer layer, they will also appreciate the super soft velvet-textured lining. 

These mittens are a simple, affordable option for kids just starting out. However, they are fairly basic and won't stand up when compared to the more expensive, established brands. 

Sharks might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of skiing, but these kid-friendly gloves are sure to be a big hit! Bring this sea predator to the slopes, with fins and a big, toothy mouth.

The cotton lining may make these gloves feel a bit softer, but unfortunately they do not provide the highest-quality hand-warming technology. They also only come in one size, meaning lots of children won't be able to use these mittens.
