On a day’s skiing, the extremities are the most sensitive parts of the body to the cold, especially among younger people. So how do you choose the right pair of ski gloves or mittens for them? We’ll help you.

Tip: 3-6 years old or 6-14, gloves or mittens, all our kids’ products are equipped with an elastic cord to place around the wrist to remove the gloves on chairlifts without the risk of losing them and a wrist strap to put them on quickly and efficiently.
Each model of gloves meets a specific need for added warmth according to different types of winter sports use, temperature regulation or the day’s weather! You can find these indications directly on the mark-ups in store or on the product description on our website.
How do you read this information?
Ideal for fine weather and/or spring skiing (temperatures above 10°C).
Ideal for hands which are sensitive to the cold and very cold temperatures.
Ideal for all weathers. This is the level of heat that gives the optimum ratio of dexterity/warmth.
Mittens have the added advantage of keeping fingers together and therefore retain more heat.
Finally, size is an important criterion when selecting ski gloves. The pair you choose should not compress your child's fingers, cutting off the circulation and thus accelerating the feeling of cold. The optimal size allows a thin layer of air to slip between the hand and the glove liner for optimal breathability that wicks away perspiration and maintains warmth.
Please note that some glove models adjust to the wrist size with a Velcro fastener, so they are not too tight yet do not let the cold in.
Please note: as not all junior gloves or mittens use the same size chart, we advise you to refer to the "Which size to choose" section of the product sheet of your favourite pair!

STEP 2: MEASURE THE LENGTH OF THEIR HAND
To measure the length of your child's hand:
Our entire kids’ range is also designed with a waterproof membrane, which forms a barrier against water and makes the glove waterproof.
To simplify your choice and improve their skiing experience, we decided to add to all our WEDZE kids’ gloves and mittens that stops the fabric absorbing water, instead causing it to slide off the surface. In this way, the textile doesn’t soak up water and stays lightweight and warm.
