Collection: Activities - Freeride - Gloves

Combining warmth and functionality for your day on the slopes

Freeride gloves should be suited to the weather, your grip, and the flow of your day on the slopes. You’ll be actively using your gloves during runs, while longer lift rides or breaks may require a different level of warmth. So don’t just compare thickness. Check the finger length, the palm, and how they work with your poles and the jacket you’ll actually be wearing.

Compare ski gloves and mittens based on intended use

A mitten handles differently than a fingered glove when making small, precise movements. Which style feels comfortable to you depends on your priorities. Pay attention to the fabric’s grip and a snug fit at the wrist. Check the specific model’s weather protection features. Also consider how you’ll want to operate zippers, adjust your goggles, or handle your backpack. A spare pair may serve a specific purpose and should be stored accordingly. Your fitting will be more helpful if you test the gloves with realistic gripping motions.

• Palm: Does the material feel as comfortable as possible and remain wrinkle-free when gripping?
• Fingers: Does the length fit without any uncomfortable tightness or excess fabric?
• Cuff: Do the cuffs and jacket fit together without any annoying bunching of fabric?
• Procedure: Is the need for warmth during quiet periods also taken into account?

Try them on together for Swiss winter days

Compare freeride ski poles and freeride jackets. Your perception of warmth can change between active descents and longer waits at the lift. Explore freeride gloves and test how they work with the other components of your gear. Base your decision on how everything works together, rather than choosing a single fabric thickness as a one-size-fits-all solution for every day on the slopes.
