Kid’s gloves and mittens are essential
articles of clothing during the winter season and we hope to expand your knowledge of some of the key factors
associated with selecting a pair for your son or daughter. The first question that arises is whether you should select gloves or mittens to protect your
kid’s hands. Each design comes with advantages and disadvantages, but in the proper setting each will provide
warmth for little hands! Gloves are best if your child is going to be engaging in activities that require a good amount
of manual dexterity and fine motor skills that require the gripping and manipulation of smaller objects. The
fact that the thumb and fingers are separated by in their own sections of the glove usually causes them to be
somewhat colder than when wearing mittens.
Mittens are great if warmth is the main priority and there is little need for extensive hand
and finger manipulation of objects, handles, knobs, etc. The fact that the fingers and thumbs can be rubbed
against each other to produce body heat is the main reason why mittens are generally considered to provide more
warmth than gloves. As you can see it is a trade off of warmth versus manual dexterity.
Kid’s gloves are usually made of wool or some other natural fiber and these materials are
well suited for this purpose, but today, the best designs are made from synthetic materials such as Ventia,
GoreTex or Thinsulate. These materials are all designed to be waterproof and most are insulated.
Additionally, there are many high quality winter gloves on the market that are made from fleece, microfleece,
and synthetics such as Primaloft, which has great insulating characteristics.
Most brands of kid’s mittens share these same characteristics and most manufacturers produce both designs in
a variety of weights, colors and insulation ratings. As mentioned previously, the major factors in choosing
gloves or mittens for your kid depends on what kind of climate they will be exposed to and what type of outdoor
activities he or she will be engaged in.
 Some of the major brand names of
kid's mittens and gloves are REI, Patagonia,
Cannondale, Land’s End, Spyder and Dakine. You can buy products from any of these companies and feel secure in
the fact that they have been producing quality cold weather clothing for many years. A typical pair of winter
gloves and mittens will cost from $20 - $50, with some higher end designs costing considerably
more.You can purchase these items at many local department stores and shops that sell outer wear. The
best place to shop, in our opinion, is online where there are many merchants offering quality apparel at
bargain prices. We wish you luck in your search for a great pair of
children mittens or gloves for your
child!
