Just a simple one, when skiing what are best, mitts or gloves?

Unless you suffer from cold hands, gloves, as mitts are too warm.
But if you are off-piste and carrying and roping - anything that gets the gloves wet, maybe a pair of mitts in the bag is a good idea

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

According to many, mitts are warmer. I prefer gloves.

In general gloves but if you suffer from cold hands or are buying for kids, mittens may be better

Europe - gloves.
Canada - mitts.
For me anyway.

Ok, so mitts are regarded as being slightly warmer but what about the way the two gloves perfrom.
ie grip of poles etc

Renry, I'd have to say there's not great difference. Although mitts do make pointing to things on the piste map a bit harder

Mitts recommended if you are ever skiing on Dendix slopes. You'll still get 'dendix thumb' but the rest of your digits should survive the experience.

It's just down to personal preference. I prefer gloves as more practical but on a v cold day I take the fingers out the holes and scrunch my hands in a ball when on lifts, so mitts would be best there!

terrible circulation, so gloves to start the day and mitts in the pack if weather closes in/spares - nothing like them for when the hands start to go numb....especially with a hand warmer chucked into each paw

I'm just changing to mitts, but with glove liners. I'll keep my old gloves just in case, shame because they are a great pair of Sally's, but starting to get holes in.
