“BEST” gloves will keep hands warmest on the trails, with features like a Gore-tex® glove insert — the best weather proof technology in the industry. Goretex® gloves are guaranteed waterproof, breathable and windproof.  These gloves also have premium insulation like PrimaLoft®, or Thinsulate®; interior wicking fabrics that help manage moisture; and other cold weather and convenience features like shield wipers and touch screen fingertips.

“VERY GOOD” gloves may not be as heavy on the name brand components, but have lots of solid features to keep hands warm and dry while sledding. These gloves have an Aquatex glove insert — fully breathable, windproof and waterproof — similar, but not identical, to high performance Gore-Tex®; plus premium insulation, and many other excellent features as well.

“GOOD” gloves are warm, but tailored to specific uses. For instance, “All Season” windproof gloves are versatile; they aren’t built for extreme cold or wet — but might be just right for sunny day on the trails in the 40’s 50’s, or heated grips. They’re less insulated, but depending on conditions, can be warm … and dry … enough. A DriLock waterproof glove is windproof warm and dry, but not breathable — good, but maybe not as comfortable if you work up a sweat sledding for longer periods.

How Much Should Snowmobile Gloves Cost?

There’s a wide price range, depending on features. The 15 glove styles in the Buyer’s Guide below are moderately priced, from $30 to $100 — but a quick internet search will turn up brands that cost $200 or more.

Bottom line: Usually, you get what you pay for.  WInter gloves with higher quality materials and extra “nice to have” features generally cost more.  But advertising, “middlemen”, etc. add unnecessary expense. You can get what you need for under $50  … and certainly for under $100.

To ensure the best value and performance, check product descriptions and online reviews.

We make both, but due to dexterity and other factors, 95% of snowmobile riders choose gloves. Mittens have more warmth. Gloves have more dexterity.

Note: ALL 15 GLOVES DESCRIBED BELOW ARE WARM. THE RATING OF “GOOD”,” VERY GOOD”, AND “BEST” RELATES TO THE TYPE OF WEATHERPROOF INSERT USED, whether it has sealed seams to make it waterproof vs. merely windproof, whether it has more or less insulation, and its relative breathable quality.

P.S. For a more enjoyable day on the trails, look for features like …  goggle wiper/shield squeegee, touch-enabled fingertips for smart phones, extra long gauntlets, a thermal layer at the fingertips for extra warmth, and more. To shop for Snowmobile Gloves:
