Ski gloves
Ski gloves
Ski gloves are an element of winter equipment that protects hands from freezing. They are essential for active sports as well as a jacket, trousers and a mask. With their help, you can firmly hold the handles of a stick or the handlebars of a bike. And stylish gloves complete the image of an athlete.
Main varieties
Alpine skiing gloves are conditionally divided into several categories:
- mittens. These are soft and comfortable mittens, which are conditionally divided into two sections: for the thumb and for the rest of the fingers. They quickly warm the brush even in severe frosts, but are less practical than gloves. Ski mittens are most often chosen by snowboarders. Sometimes there are three-fingered mittens - the index finger is separated in them, which provides a more comfortable grip of sports equipment;
- gloves. A convenient accessory for hands, in which each finger has its own section. This is the most popular option among athletes. Due to the ease of grip and the presence of special fasteners for attaching to the jacket, they are most often chosen by skiers.
Depending on gender and age, you can buy men's ski gloves, women's and children's. The first are more massive and insulated. They have a strict form and are presented in dark colors. Women's models tend to be smaller and in brighter colors. Children's ski gloves are more often in the form of mittens.

Gloves have many uses. Perhaps, once upon a time, the need to buy gloves arose only when the temperature outside dropped below zero, and it was necessary to protect your hands from cold and frost. Now, the thought “buy gloves” occurs much more often. And both in men and women. Although gloves have not lost their protective functions at all, these functions have been somewhat transformed. Not all existing models of gloves are designed to protect against the cold - some protect hands from mechanical damage, specialized gloves are used when performing a certain type of work, sports gloves - when playing sports games in which hands are actively involved. There are car racing gloves, motorcycle gloves, fingerless gloves that have many purposes. When choosing the pair you want to purchase, the main thing is the functionality of the gloves and the quality-price ratio.

How to buy ski seals in TheRide
1. Gender, age and size. First of all, decide who the mittens are for. To do this, in the selection filter panel on the left, mark a series of models: men's; women's; children's. Then you can already choose the desired size from the standard line: S, M, L, XL and XXL.
2. Heat scale and functionality The heat scale (from 1 to 5) indicates the presence/absence, type and amount of insulation. Accordingly, 1 is for warm weather without insulation, 5 is for frost with the thickest layer of reliable insulation. The denser it is, the heavier and thicker the glove (mitten). For active sports, professional skiers choose models with a scale of 3-4. Various useful details are responsible for the functionality of the accessories: a hook fastener for attaching the pair to each other (so as not to get lost); Slip on technology - for a more comfortable fit of the glove to the hand; Touch screen technology allows you to use your phone and tablet without taking off your gloves.
3. Materials and type of membrane This parameter is responsible for the strength and reliability of the model, ease of use. Membrane helps keep hands dry and warm. Depending on the planned loads and your preferences, you can choose: the type of upper material (nylon, mixed composition, windproof, water-repellent leather); type of protective membrane (Gore-Tex, Hipora); palm cover (reinforced rubber, leather, polyurethane, synthetic or water-repellent suede, etc.)
4. Lining and insulation This is an indicator of the heat scale of mittens. If you are not sure that you can understand the scale exactly, choose models according to the type of insulation and lining: should the lining come unfastened or be static; what type of insulation do you prefer: highloft, primaloft and whether it is needed at all; what fabric should the lining be: wool, knitwear or fleece.
5. Cuffs and Wrists The cut of ski gloves can be chosen with high cuffs that are put on the sleeve and fastened over it, providing a full fit. Some prefer lightweight, short cuffed gloves that fit under an elasticated jacket sleeve. There are some models of gloves that have special protection for the wrists from injury. This is very convenient for beginners.
