About Mittens at The North Face
When a polar vortex hits you hard, durable mittens are key to keeping you—and your hands—incredibly warm in the extreme cold. Why? Because mittens tend to trap more heat than gloves thanks to less surface area exposed to cold and the shared space in the fingers. When shopping for mittens, look for materials like GORE-TEX and FUTURELIGHT for waterproof performance during intense adventures. Have a pair in the pocket of your snowboard jacket so you're ready to take on a gauntlet of trails. For everyday wear, classic knit mittens offer warmth for more low-key activities.
Other features look for when shopping for mittens include touchscreen functionality, like in our eTip gloves, that allows you to scroll through texts on the slopes and share a few epic pictures to your feed. Also pay attention to the mitten lining. A fleece lining can provide warmth while a moisture-wicking lining may be helpful during winter sports.
While gloves tend to aid in dexterity, mittens, again, tend to be warmer. This is particularly important to parents of little kids. Parents of toddlers and babies will appreciate our soft, fleece styles like our Baby Bear series of mittens, designed to keep little hands warm in cold temperatures. Even if you don't plan to take your little ones out for snow play, these mittens are ideal for staying warm when out around town.
During winter months, pair mittens with your favorite beanie, scarf, and fleece jacket Don't forget to keep your feet warm with socks from The North Face made with the same durability and effectiveness as our mittens.
