Ski Gloves

Having cold hands is never fun and is definitely not fun while skiing. Properly sizing your ski gloves can lead to a better fit which will lead to more warmth. Here we will go over how to measure your hand for a ski glove as well as how to find your proper size using size charts; we will also share some ski glove sizing pointers.

Measuring for a Ski Glove

To properly measure for a ski glove you will want to measure your hand circumference. Measure the flat area shown on the below diagram without including the thumb. The easiest way to measure is with a flexible tape measure you can easily wrap around your hand.

Finding Your Ski Glove Size Using Size Charts

Measuring your hand is great but what do you do with that measurement once you have it? Find your size easily by using all the size charts offered by skis.com! Using these charts is the easiest way to take the size you measured and turn it into the correct ski glove size for you. All of the brand specific size charts are located in the Ski-o-pedia section of Skis.com.

You can easily find find your size using our size chart here.

Ski Glove Sizing Pointers

Liners- If you plan on using glove liners on the inside of your skiing gloves keep this in mind while sizing. You can size a bit larger when using liners, either size one size up or if teetering between sizes go with the larger size.

Size Overlap- In some instances the size you measure and the sizes listed on the size charts will overlap between two sizes. With this overlap you can go with either size; simply pick based on if you like a tighter or looser fit.

Kids Ski Glove Sizing- Some kids ski gloves will not be measured by size and will be measured by age. These are typically for the smaller model gloves and age will determine size just fine in these cases.

As you can see it is fairly easy to measure for a properly fitted pair of ski gloves. Measure properly and follow the size charts provided and you will have no ski glove fit issues when you hit the mountain!

Size Chart for Gloves and Mittens

This is a generic size chart. For exact sizing please search for the brand specific size chart. For the correct fit, measure hand circumference around widest part of palm of hand.

Bootfitting

Have you ever dreaded a day of skiing because your boots are so uncomfortable? It’s no surprise that many times in a season you’ve had to “call it a day” early because your feet were killing you.

As the only ski and snowboard shop located on the mountain, the Downhill Supply Company is only home to the latest in tuning and bootfitting technology. The experienced staff delivers personalized service throughout the bootfitting process, ensuring precise shell fit and appropriate cuff flex to optimize the skier’s experience on snow.

After you’ve experienced the divine comfort of custom fit orthotics, you’ll want a set in every pair of shoes you own. The process can take anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and a half, but the reward is priceless.

Whether you notice it or not, your boots could be hurting you. Give us a call or stop in to the shop to see if a pair of custom orthotics is right for you!

Fischer’s VACUUM FIT technology is a worldwide sensation in boot comfort: the revolutionary Fischer VACU-PLAST material is a high-tech polymer that enables a completely anatomical adjustment of the boot with a level of comfort and performance never before enjoyed.

Fischer’s three step process involves:

• First warming the boot shell to 80 degrees Celsius in a specially designed oven.

The entire process takes only about 20 minutes for a boot fit that is 100% guaranteed!
