Properly fitted ski racing gloves and mitts improve warmth, comfort, pole control, and protection. A glove that is too tight can restrict circulation and reduce warmth, while a glove that is too loose can reduce dexterity and make it harder to maintain a secure grip on the ski pole.
Measure around the widest part of the hand, excluding the thumb.
How to Measure for Gloves & Mitts
Wrap a flexible measuring tape around the widest part of your hand, typically across the knuckles, while excluding the thumb. Record the measurement in inches and compare it to the manufacturer's size chart.
If your measurement falls between sizes, consider how you prefer your gloves to fit. Racers seeking a close-performance fit often size down, while those prioritizing warmth may prefer sizing up.

| 7–8 in / 18–20 cm | Junior Large / Adult Small |
| 8–9 in / 20–23 cm | Adult Medium |
| 9–10 in / 23–25 cm | Adult Large |
| 10+ in / 25+ cm | Adult XL+ |
How Gloves & Mitts Should Fit
A properly fitted ski racing glove or mitt should feel snug around the hand while allowing natural finger movement and a secure grip on the ski pole. Most race gloves are pre-curved to match the natural position of the hand while skiing.
- Fingers should reach close to the end of the glove without pressing firmly against the material.
- You should be able to comfortably grip a ski pole without excess bunching.
- The glove should feel secure around the palm and back of the hand.
- Wrist closures should hold the glove in place without restricting circulation.
- Mitts should allow slight finger movement inside the insulated compartment.
Common Glove & Mitt Fit Mistakes
- Choosing gloves that are too tight and restrict circulation.
- Purchasing gloves that are too large and reduce dexterity.
- Ignoring the fit while gripping a ski pole.
- Selecting a size based only on age rather than hand measurements.
- Overlooking finger length when evaluating overall fit.
Race Place Fit Notes
- Race gloves are designed to fit closer than recreational ski gloves.
- Mitts generally provide greater warmth than gloves in cold conditions.
- Most race gloves are pre-curved to improve pole grip and reduce hand fatigue.
- Proper circulation is critical for warmth, even in heavily insulated gloves.
- Fit may vary between brands and models, so always refer to the manufacturer's size chart when available.
