The 10 Warmest Gloves & Mittens of 2024
By: Megan Amick: Accessories Buyer | October 29, 2023
For too many people, cold hands are simply a reality of skiing or snowboarding. They put up with numb fingers, chilly palms, and uncomfortable wrists, just to enjoy time on the hill. But it doesn’t have to be like that. You don’t need to resign yourself to cold hands every time you head up to the mountains. With a pair of the warmest gloves or mittens on the market, you can ski or ride all day in comfort. That’s why we’ve put together this list. When choosing gloves and mittens these are the ones with the best insulation, with the most thought and care put into warmth, and are the most dialed options for cold hands in cold climates.
New This Year:
The 2024 collection of ski and snowboard gloves and mittens takes inspiration from the rugged and classic aesthetics of workwear. This year, the spotlight is on workwear-inspired colors and styles, infusing the functional winter gear with a timeless and durable charm. These designs not only offer a nod to the hardworking ethos of workwear but also bring a touch of vintage flair to the slopes. Beyond the aesthetics, these gloves and mittens continue to prioritize warmth and protection, ensuring hands remain cozy even in the harshest of winter conditions. The marriage of workwear-inspired style with top-notch functionality in the 2024 lineup promises skiers and snowboarders a perfect blend of fashion and function, keeping their hands warm and stylish as they carve their way down the mountain.

Megan Amick
Hi! My name is Megan. I was born and raised in Washington and grew up loving skiing and the outdoors. Some of my favorite memories are ski trips to Park City with my parents, Mt. Bachelor with the grandparents, and weekend rides at our home mountain the good ‘ol Ski Acres - IYKYK. I left Washington to go to college in California, and then moved to Nevada for a few years. I moved back to Washington in 2013 and jumped right back into weekend rides at my home mountain. Washington is and always will be the place I call home!
I have been working at evo since 2016 and am so grateful for all the opportunities. I started working in our warehouse in receiving and shipping and then worked my way to the merchandising department which gave me the opportunity to integrate my passions as our Accessories and Camp Buyer. It truly is a beautiful thing to work for a company that you are passionate about and that feels like family. You will still find me every weekend at my home mountain with my husband Beau and our daughter Baker.
