GORE-TEX Winter Gloves for Wet, Windy Canadian Days

GORE-TEX states its glove technologies provide durably waterproof protection, but construction and care still matter. Follow the specific glove maker’s care instructions and inspect the whole glove, including seams and closures.

The membrane itself is not an insulation rating. Warmth depends on the glove’s insulation, lining, fit and activity, so compare those details for the exact model.

Care varies by glove materials, especially leather. Use the care label or manufacturer instructions for the exact pair rather than applying general jacket-washing directions.

Mittens keep fingers together and can help retain warmth, while gloves allow more independent finger movement. The better choice depends on how much dexterity your activity needs.
