Protecting your hands from extreme cold: gloves, liners, mittens
Freezing hands mean less dexterity and a higher frostbite risk. Hand protection in extreme cold relies, like the body, on layering: a thin first layer, a warm layer, and active heat where needed. Our selection covers every need, from cold-store work to the outdoors, down to −50 °C.
Cold weather gloves
Our cold weather gloves insulate while preserving grip: waterproof, windproof, reinforced or touchscreen models depending on use.
Thermal liners
Worn alone in moderate cold or under a thicker pair, thermal liners add a layer of insulation without sacrificing fine handling.
Mittens
For the bitterest cold, mittens group the fingers together to share their warmth — the warmest option when dexterity takes a back seat.
Frequently asked questions – Hand protection
Gloves or mittens in extreme cold?
Mittens are warmer (the fingers warm each other); gloves give more dexterity. The winning combo: a thin liner under a mitten.
How do I keep my hands dry?
Choose waterproof, breathable models: trapped sweat chills you as much as rain. Swap a liner if it gets damp.
Are touchscreen-compatible gloves available?
Yes, several models let you use a smartphone without removing your gloves — handy in the field.
