It’s my opinion that a pair of quality ski gloves are an essential part of your ski ensemble. I have been known to bargain hunt for some aspects of my family’s ski gear, but not gloves, not ever.

There’s just something about cold hands that can ruin a day faster than getting caught on a stalled ski chair under the snow machine.

Gordini makes quality gloves and mitts, and my teen son has come to love their DT Gauntlet glove. He’s actually usually a fan of mittens, so it’s nice to know the Gauntlet comes in a mitt, as well, but he’s adapted to the gloves just fine.

The outside is a woven nylon shell that’s totally waterproof, filled with Downtek 700 fill on the inside. I am always looking for brands using Downtek, as it’s higher quality when it comes to water resistance.

The trim is sheepskin, and you get reinforced areas at the palm, fingers, thumb, and wrap caps. The Hydrowick microdenier lining has thermo-plush in the cuff, which makes the glove fit snugly and with plenty of padding.Gordini DT Gauntlet gloves

Despite being comprehensive, the Gauntlet is pretty breathable for such substantial coverage.

The wrist caps are really useful to have when you need to take the gloves on and off on the ski chair to retrieve a phone, fix a helmet, etc.

Snowboarders also use them on every run, as they adjust their binding.

Personally, I won’t buy another pair of gloves without them.

Pick up the Gauntlet glove in black and gunmetal; either color will go well with whatever color coordination you’ve got going for you on the slopes.

The Gauntlet comes in small through extra-large; my son found them true-to-size.

It’s $110 on the Gordini site, and a few bucks less on Amazon. Grab a pair now for the remainder of the winter season, then stash them away almost new for next year…you’ll be glad you did!
