Best Snowboard Gloves 2019-2020

Chosen by the Whitelines Test Team

UPDATE: Check out our reviews of the Best Snowboard Gloves for 2020/2021 by clicking here.

While some think it might look more stylish to ride in your bare hands, we (and our mother’s) highly recommend keeping them covered if we don’t want to end up with pneumonia.

When choosing your next snowboard gloves, you’ll want to consider what terrain you’ll be riding, in what conditions, and how much money you’re willing to spend.

Much like snowboard jackets and pants, the more you spend the more tech has gone into the fabric. Gore-Tex is pretty high up there, as it is highly breathable as well as waterproof, so those who prefer riding backcountry or simply demand maximum protection from the elements, might want to spend that little bit extra on a pair of Gore-Tex gloves.

“When choosing your next snowboard gloves, you’ll want to consider what terrain you’ll be riding, in what conditions, and how much money you’re willing to spend”

The main purpose of a pair of gloves is to keep your fingers warm, hence keeping them dry. Gloves with long gauntlets designed to be tightened on the outside of your jacket will keep the snow out of your sleeves, which is something we’ve all come to appreciate.

When it comes to insulation, the levels can vary. If you’re planning to hit up Lapland in January you’ll be better off with a pair of thicker gloves (or maybe even a pair of snowboard mitts as they often offer more warmth). Bear in mind though, that you might want to invest in a pair with sufficient venting too, to better deal with changes in temperature.

If sunny spring laps are more your thing, you might want to go for a mid-weight or even neoprene (aka ‘pipe’) glove. These gloves are more low profile and very flexy, making them ideal for grabs and hand drags whilst still keeping your hands safe from the cold.

Nowadays you’ll often find that most gloves offer touchscreen-compatible fingertips, so you’ll be able to scroll through the gram without having to take your gloves off. If your filming and photographing go beyond the gram, you might want to get a pair of gloves with separate liners, ‘cos nothing sucks like getting frostbite whilst trying to work a camera.

As with everything, you should always make sure that the gloves fit. Make sure you won’t have to squeeze your hands into a pair of gloves that are too short for your fingers, nor should they be too big either. Both of the two will reduce the glove’s ability to keep you warm and dry, which is ultimately, the reason you wear these things.

The Best Snowboard Gloves For Winter 2019-20


Burton Daily Leather Snowboard Gloves 2019-2020

PRICE: £45/€50

Mitts seems to rule the roost among the snowboard community, but there’s plenty of reasons for gloves to make a comeback. Here’s a handful that come to mind: flipping the bird to your mates from the chairlift, signalling to the barman for another couple of pints when “Deux bieros, s’il vous please” doesn’t cut it in whatever European apres establishment you find yourself in and visually instructing your mate to spin a 3 off whatever lip you’re patiently sat by pointing your GoPro towards. The Burton Daily Leather gloves take care of all these necessities, and a whole bunch more too.

    The outer is a mix of stretchy softshell, and rugged leather, so you’ll still have the dexterity you often lack in a warm glove. The palm is 100% goat leather, one of the most durable materials for taking the brunt of abuse through the winter. The Gortex membrane needs next to no introduction these days – quite simply the most waterproof, durable and breathable membrane available.

    Howl Houston Snowboard Gloves 2019-2020

    PRICE: £95

    When you find a glove you really like, you want it to last you a while. With that in mind, it’s cool to see that the bods at Howl have lived up to that by creating this ultra durable performance glove. The outer is made of robust goat leather, with perforated accents (so you know it’s good). It’s such a first world problem but when your goggles are dripping onto your face it’s really annoying right? You’ll be glad to know then that Howl have added a micro suede thumb so it can double up as a goggle wipe. Very thoughtful. Thanks guys.

    To keep these slappers strapped firmly to your hands and to keep the snow out of your sleeves they’ve got velcro closures, and removable wrist cords to keep them safe (go nuts and swing them round like helicopter blades – you won’t lose them). A Hypora insert sits inside the glove and gives them a 10/5K waterproofing and breathability rating. They’re toasty warm, dry, and bonus – they look dope. They also come in a mitt if you prefer, check them out here.
