The 10 Best Kids' Ski Gloves of 2022-2023
By: Megan Amick: Accessories Buyer | November 20, 2022
One of the biggest challenges of introducing your kids to skiing or snowboarding is making sure they stay warm and comfortable all day. And a prime offender is chilly fingers. It’s hard for kids to get in and out of their own gloves, and they tend to crash more, so their hands are in the snow more often than adults. This all combines to set them up for numb fingers and cold hands. Luckily, the solution is obvious: better gloves. However, it can be challenging to find the best kids' ski gloves. There are plenty of options on the market, but without real-world experience, it’s hard to make a choice.
New This Year:
Luckily, we’ve put together this list of the best kids' ski gloves around. These gloves put the needs of your child first. They’ve been designed to be easy to get on and off, while still being very warm and waterproof. And this year there are more options for toddlers than ever before. Some brands dumb down their kids' gloves with less technical materials and less refined designs, but you won’t find any of those on this list. Instead, every glove on this list is designed to keep your child’s hands warm through a long day of skiing or snowboarding. Because they’re not going to fall in love with skiing or riding if they can’t feel their fingers.

Hi! My name is Megan. I was born and raised in Washington and grew up loving skiing and the outdoors. Some of my favorite memories are ski trips to Park City with my parents, Mt. Bachelor with the grandparents, and weekend rides at our home mountain the good ‘ol Ski Acres - IYKYK. I left Washington to go to college in California, and then moved to Nevada for a few years. I moved back to Washington in 2013 and jumped right back into weekend rides at my home mountain. Washington is and always will be the place I call home!
I have been working at evo since 2016 and am so grateful for all the opportunities. I started working in our warehouse in receiving and shipping and then worked my way to the merchandising department which gave me the opportunity to integrate my passions as our Accessories and Camp Buyer. It truly is a beautiful thing to work for a company that you are passionate about and that feels like family. You will still find me every weekend at my home mountain with my husband Beau and our daughter Baker.
