Common questions
Questions before you buy
Why are my fingers cold in gloves?
The glove may be damp, too tight, too loose, or not protective enough for wind and activity. Check fit at each fingertip and the wrist opening.
Are mittens better than gloves for cold fingers?
Mittens keep fingers together and may retain more warmth, but reduce individual movement. Choose based on how much dexterity you need.
Do glove liners help keep fingers warm?
A liner can add a layer if the outer glove has enough room. A cramped combination may be uncomfortable and limit movement.
How should winter gloves fit at the fingertips?
Your fingertips should reach the ends without pressure. Follow the maker’s size chart and allow room for comfortable movement.
