Snowboard gloves and mittens
In addition to a nice warm snowboard jacket and snowboard pants, good snowboard gloves are of course essential during winter sports. When your hands are cold, the fun of snowboarding quickly disappears. But what makes a good glove? We at Snowboards APP have a great collection of various Howl, Burton and Picture snowboard gloves in stock that keep your hands warm, but also feel soft thanks to the use of, among other things, fleece. View the entire collection both in the webshop and in the showroom in Oldenzaal.
The difference between snowboard gloves and mittens
We often get the question; What is the difference between ski gloves and mittens? And which are warmer? You can say that mittens are generally warmer than traditional fingered gloves. It is important, however, that you compare roughly the same quality between mittens and gloves. In a mitten your fingers are together in one compartment. Additionally, air is the best insulator.
What characterizes good snowboard gloves?
Good snowboard gloves have several characteristics that are essential for comfort, protection and performance while snowboarding. Here are some important features to look for when choosing snowboard gloves:
- Waterproofness: Choose gloves that are waterproof to prevent snow and moisture from getting in and making your hands wet and cold. Materials like Gore-Tex and DWR coatings help keep water out.
- Insulation: Good gloves have sufficient insulation to keep your hands warm even in cold conditions. Thinsulate and PrimaLoft are popular insulation materials that provide warmth without extra bulk.
- Breathability: Gloves should also be breathable to prevent your hands from overheating and sweating. This keeps your hands comfortable and dry.
- Windproofing: Choose gloves that are windproof to prevent cold wind from reaching your hands and cooling them down.
- Fit and freedom of movement: The gloves should have a good fit and offer enough freedom of movement so you can easily move your fingers and fasten your snowboard bindings without restrictions.
- Durability: Look for gloves made of high-quality materials that are resistant to wear and tears so they last a long time.
In short, good snowboard gloves are waterproof, well insulated, breathable, windproof, provide a good fit and freedom of movement, and are durable. By paying attention to these features, you can snowboard comfortably and confidently in all weather conditions.
Snowboard gloves with wrist protection
Snowboard gloves with wrist protection are specially designed gloves that provide extra protection to the wrists while snowboarding. These gloves have built-in reinforcements or pads around the wrists to reduce impact and injury in the event of a fall or accident. The wrist protection is usually made of shock-absorbing material such as foam or gel to absorb and disperse the force of a fall.
These gloves are especially popular among beginners and snowboarders who are more at risk of falling, such as freestylers who perform Tricks and jumps. The wrist protection offers extra peace of mind and can help prevent serious injuries such as wrist fractures or sprains.
It is important to choose well-fitting snowboard gloves with wrist protection to optimally benefit from the protection. Wearing these gloves can be a valuable addition to your snowboard gear, especially if you are still learning or if you want to protect yourself during more intensive snowboarding activities.
