Not for: School-age kids who need a regular cuff and more dexterity.
What the AI looks for in Boys' Cold Weather Mittens
- Mitten vs. glove
- Mittens for young kids, cold-handed kids and long snow sessions. Gloves when dexterity matters. Fingers share heat in a mitten, so it is noticeably warmer.
- Waterproof shell and long cuff
- A waterproof shell plus an over-sleeve gauntlet with a cinch for snow. Snow entering at the wrist ruins warmth fast.
- Easy on, stays on
- A wide opening and a secure cinch or strap. Thumb shape should fit small hands. Mittens a kid can't put on or keeps losing don't get worn.
Brands that matter
- Burton: Durable waterproof snow mittens.
- Stonz: Stay-on mittens for toddlers.
- Columbia: Mainstream insulated kids' mittens.
- Kombi: Kids' mitten specialist.
What to avoid
- Knit mittens for snow play.
- Mitten strings long enough to loop around the neck.
