When the temperature drops, warm hands aren’t just a luxury—they’re a necessity. Whether you're heading out for errands, walking the dog, working outdoors, or just commuting to the office, the right gloves make all the difference between comfort and cold.
But with so many styles out there, how do you know what kind of gloves you really need?
Here's Five Tips to Help You Choose Winter Gloves
Let’s break it down. Here's how to choose winter gloves that match your lifestyle, your activity level, and your cold-weather needs—featuring a lineup of cozy options from Heat Holders®.
1. Start with Warmth: Know Your Insulation Needs
The first thing to think about is how warm your gloves need to be. If you're in a very cold climate or spend lots of time outside, prioritize thermal insulation.
Heat Holders® Knit Gloves are a great option. They are made with HeatWeaver® ling, a plush, super soft lining that keeps your hands warm on chilly days without feeling too bulky. Ideal for short outdoor activities, commuting, or casual winter wear.
2. Need to Stay Connected? Go Touchscreen
Cold hands shouldn’t mean you can’t use your phone.
Heat Holders® Touch Screen Gloves offer the warmth of our classic knits, plus touchscreen-compatible tips on the thumb and index finger. You can text, scroll, or take a photo without removing your gloves. Perfect for teens, busy parents, or anyone who stays connected on the go.
3. For Active Days, Go with Performance Styles
If you're skiing, snow-shoveling, hiking, or doing anything active outdoors, you’ll want gloves built to keep up.
Heat Holders® Performance Gloves are water-resistant, windproof, and loaded with insulation. Designed with durability in mind, they offer a snug fit and extra grip so your hands stay warm and secure no matter what winter throws at you.
Prefer the extra warmth of a mitten style? Try our Performance Mittens, which trap heat even more efficiently while still giving you flexibility to move.
4. Want Flexibility? Try Convertible or Fingerless
Sometimes you need a bit of finger freedom—especially for tasks like handling gear, adjusting zippers, or holding reins.
Heat Holders® Converter Gloves give you the best of both worlds: fingerless gloves when you need them, and a fold-over mitten top for when it’s time to warm up. They’re great for photographers, outdoor workers, or anyone doing detailed tasks in the cold.
For maximum dexterity indoors or for short bursts outside, Fingerless Gloves are your go-to. They keep palms and wrists warm while allowing full finger movement—ideal for typing, crafting, or grabbing a hot drink at the market.
5. Consider the Fit and Comfort
Gloves should fit snugly but not too tight. A good fit helps keep warmth inside while still giving your fingers room to move. All Heat Holders® gloves are designed with stretch and softness in mind, offering both comfort and functionality.
The Bottom Line: Choose Gloves That Match Your Life
When it comes to how to choose winter gloves, the best advice is simple: match the glove to the task. Whether you’re scrolling through your phone, clearing snow, or walking the dog in freezing temps, Heat Holders® has a glove designed to keep you warm without slowing you down.
And because we know comfort is personal, we offer a variety of styles—so you never have to compromise on warmth, function, or feel.
Stay warm out there. Your hands will thank you.
