Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose between mittens and gloves?
Mittens are warmer because fingers share heat. Gloves allow more dexterity for gripping, climbing, and zipping. For very cold weather, mittens are usually best.
How should kids’ mittens or gloves fit?
They should fit snug but not tight, with room to wiggle fingers. A little extra space allows warmth and light growth — but oversized gloves reduce grip and warmth.
What’s more important in mittens - waterproof or breathable?
Both matter. Waterproofing keeps snow and moisture out. Breathability allows sweat to escape. If moisture gets trapped inside from sweat, hands can feel wet and get cold quickly. The best mittens are both waterproof and breathable — keeping hands dry from the outside and the inside.
How should kids’ mittens or gloves fit?
Order your child’s usual size in accessories. Most brands design sizing by age range and average hand measurements. Only size up or down if your child has noticeably larger or smaller hands than other kids their age. Mittens and gloves should fit snug but not tight, with room to wiggle fingers. Too big reduces warmth and grip; too tight restricts circulation and makes hands colder.
What’s the purpose of a balaclava or neck warmer?
Balaclavas and neck warmers protect exposed skin from wind and cold. They help seal the gap between jackets and hats, keeping warmth in and wind out.
