Further notes on Ski Glove Sizing, as with most ski gloves, size is crucial to maintaining warm hands, it’s always best to have the gloves slightly larger, this traps more warm air inside the glove especially true on our new design, plus on super super cold days the addition of a silk glove liner is possible.

Further information on where we get our gloves made, we use the same manufacturer that makes the gloves for many of the European fire services, the leather is rated at 180c resistant, so they also work in the cold.
