Gloves Mittens are a type of gloves that have a separate thumb from the other fingers . The thumb is actually its own part of the glove and is attached to it, creating the characteristic "mitten" shape.

When to take gloves mittens

This type of glove is most often used for outdoor activities, such as cross-country skiing, winter running or skiing , as it provides better controllability. Due to the cut, the mittens also insulate better and protect against the cold.

Advantages of mittens

Gloves and mittens are usually made of insulating material, such as wool or synthetic fibers, which keep hands warm and dry even in demanding conditions. Mitten gloves have several advantages compared to regular gloves that do not have a separate thumb:

• Better Maneuverability: Because the thumb is separated from the other fingers, mitten gloves allow for better maneuverability and movement of the fingers, which is useful for activities where movement precision is required, such as cross-country skiing, hiking or climbing.

• More thermal insulation: The thumb is one of the most sensitive parts of the hand, so separating the thumb in a glove can increase thermal insulation and keep hands warmer in colder conditions. Gloves and mittens are therefore popular for winter activities such as cross-country skiing or skiing.

• Greater comfort: Mitten gloves can be more comfortable than regular gloves because the thumb has its own part of the glove and is not restricted by the other fingers. This can ensure greater comfort and flexibility in movement.

• Better protection: In some cases, gloves and mittens can provide better protection against external influences such as windy conditions, rain or snow.

• Stylish look: Mittens gloves have a specific look that can be stylish and trendy, and can even be a fashion accessory for some occasions.
