The Best Ski Gloves of 2026
Oct 1, 2025
This lightweight glove is made for high-octane activities—think ski touring and long backcountry missions where warmth matters but dexterity trumps all. The glove features a pre-shaped construction, which Hestra calls Ergo Grip, that’s molded to the natural shape of your hand to provide a better grasp. Inside is a knit wool terry fabric that remains breathable and warm even when wet. The outer layer blocks wind and wicks moisture, making it a great choice for aerobic winter missions.
This glove isn’t meant for the deepest winter laps or standing around in the lift line but rather for skiers on the move. If your hands run extra cold, it also pairs well with a warmer shell mitten for extra insulation.
