How to choose gloves by type and material

What decides is how long you will be outside and how hard you will be moving. Standing in frost calls for insulation; when you are moving, you want a thinner, stretchy glove that won’t make you sweat. The range is therefore divided into insulated ski gloves and thinner gloves for every day and for movement.

Ski gloves: finger gloves, mittens and leather gloves

Ski gloves are insulated, mostly with THERMOLITE® hollow-fibre fill, which is low in weight, and DRYFOR fibre in them moves moisture away from your hand to the outside. Gloves with separate fingers leave your fingers free for zips, buckles and poles, while mittens usually keep you warmer because the fingers stay together. Leather ski gloves are 80-95% leather, and some of them have FURTHERM insulation. All are designed for skiing and snowboarding.

Powerfleece, fleece and knitted gloves

Thinner gloves are enough for walks, the city, hikes and cross-country skiing. Powerfleece gloves are made of stretchy polyester with elastane and are softly brushed inside, suitable for cross-country skiing, hikes and everyday wear. Fleece gloves are made of lightweight polyester fleece, and knitted ones have, for example, 60% wool and TECNOPOLAR® fleece, which is light and softly brushed; both are better suited to walks and the city.

Softshell gloves

Softshell gloves are 100% polyester, stretchy and more resistant to wind. They suit cycling and cross-country skiing.

Quick choice by situation

Ski slope and snowboarding - ski gloves with separate fingers; for long stretches of standing in the frost, mittens.
Walks and the city - knitted or fleece gloves, or thinner powerfleece ones.
Hiking and cross-country skiing - powerfleece gloves, which are stretchy and move sweat away as you move.
Cycling in the cold - softshell gloves.

What to compare gloves by

Type - ski gloves and mittens for the slopes, powerfleece, fleece and knitted gloves for every day, softshell gloves for cycling and cross-country skiing.
Material - most often polyester; ski gloves combine it with polyurethane or leather, knitted ones with wool. Elastane adds stretch.
Insulation - only gloves for skiing and snowboarding have fill, mostly THERMOLITE®, in some leather ones FURTHERM. Thinner gloves keep you warm through the material itself, TECNOPOLAR® fleece or POWERFLEECE.
Technical fibre - DRYFOR has microgrooves that carry moisture to the outer side of the fabric; most ski gloves and powerfleece gloves have it.
Size - gloves are numbered 4-11, and a few models have a narrower range, for example 4-8 or 6-11. Most gloves have a size chart on the product page with a measuring diagram.
Gender - most gloves are not gender-specific; only some ski models are explicitly women’s or men’s.

How to care for gloves

Wash knitted, fleece and powerfleece gloves gently according to the label and let them air-dry away from heating. Dry leather ski gloves slowly at room temperature; on a radiator the leather would harden.

Technologies and materials

DRYFOR®

A functional fiber that excellently absorbs body moisture and wicks away sweat. Thanks to the micro-grooves on its surface, moisture is efficiently carried to the outer side of the fabric where it evaporates quickly, keeping your skin dry and comfortable. This property allows the material to provide perfect body temperature regulation.

POWERFLEECE

Lightweight, highly elastic material, micro-brushed on the inside for increased thermal insulation and comfort. The outside is smooth and very pleasant to the touch, and it offers excellent thermal insulation and protection against gusty wind.

TECNOPOLAR® fleece

Lightweight, warm, super-fine brushed fabric with a wonderful feel to the touch offers excellent thermal insulation and protection against gusty wind.

FURTHERM®

Breathable thermal insulation fill. Keeps the body warm and comfortable. In extreme weather conditions it accumulates body heat and releases it back later, helping to maintain the required body temperature. It guarantees comfort and convenience in all activities.

Frequently asked questions

Gloves or mittens for winter?

Mittens usually keep you warmer because the fingers stay together and warm each other. Gloves with separate fingers are more dexterous with zips, buckles and straps. Among NORDBLANC ski gloves you will find both, mostly with THERMOLITE® fill and DRYFOR fibre; for long stretches of standing in frost choose mittens, for active skiing gloves with fingers.

What are NORDBLANC winter gloves made of?

Most often polyester. Ski gloves combine it with polyurethane or leather, and leather ski gloves are 80-95% leather. Powerfleece gloves are made of polyester with 7% elastane, knitted ones have, for example, 60% wool, and softshell gloves are 100% polyester.

How do I choose a glove size?

Gloves are numbered 4-11, and a few models have a narrower range, for example 4-8 or 6-11. Most gloves have a size chart with a measuring diagram on the product page: measure your hand following the diagram and compare it with the values in the chart.

How do fleece and powerfleece gloves differ?

Powerfleece gloves are made of stretchy polyester with 7% elastane, softly brushed inside, with DRYFOR fibre; they suit movement, such as cross-country skiing and hikes. Fleece gloves are made of polyester fleece, some with TECNOPOLAR®, and suit everyday wear better.
