How to choose the right size of ski gloves?
Size is a key factor when choosing ski gloves or mittens. If the product is too small, it can quickly become uncomfortable during the day, and if it is too large, warmth may be reduced due to the larger space that needs to be heated. If in doubt, it is still better to opt for gloves that are slightly large rather than small. You will be able to put them on and take them off more easily, or you can also layer them with under-gloves. Furthermore, your hand will swell slightly during exercise and comfort will always be greater for a hand with room to move than for a compressed one. To choose the right ski glove size, first measure the circumference of your palm. Place a tape measure around your palm at the widest point, just below your fingers. Then measure the distance from the base of your palm to the tip of your middle finger. Before buying, it is important to consult the manufacturer's size guide to determine the glove size that corresponds to your measurements.
How to care for your ski gloves?
It is important to know how to choose them, but also how to care for them so they last over time. First, avoid frequent machine washing, as this will damage the waterproof membrane and breathable properties of your product. To wash them, a small amount of detergent or soap in lukewarm water with a flexible brush is sufficient. Do not add fabric softener, as this will clog the pores of the membrane. However, depending on the specific care instructions, you may also machine wash them. It is essential to let your pair of gloves dry thoroughly after a day of skiing, both on the outside and the inside. Place them in a dry spot, cuff-side down. Regarding the waterproof membrane, a waterproofing treatment can be applied to the outside of your gloves to maintain their water repellency and all the properties of the membrane.
