Best Snowboard Mitts 2019-2020

Chosen by the Whitelines Test Team

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

If cold hands and freezing fingertips isn’t an unfamiliar thing for you, we’d advise you to invest in a good pair of snowboard mitts as these are more likely to keep your hands warm than a pair of gloves.

Even if a pair of mitts might not be as handy as a pair of gloves, they will keep you warm – mitts keep your fingers together within the fabric and expose less surface area to the cold. Both of these factors reduce the amount of heat lost through evaporation.

As you’d expect from anything snowboard related, there are of course tons of variations to choose from, some better for backcountry and others more suited for park riding.

“Even if a pair of mitts might not be as handy as a pair of gloves, they will keep you warm”

The best snowboard mitts, rated in terms of warmth and shelter, should combine a cosy lining with a good Gore-Tex shell. With a Gore-Tex shell, you can expect an exceptional combination of both waterproofing and breathability, the two most important things when it comes to any sort of snowboard outerwear. Leather and suede outers will do the job too, however, they will need the occasional wax treatment to ensure they won’t start soaking up water.

As we pointed out earlier, mitts do lack in dexterity. Fiddling with your bindings, posting the occasional Instagram story or smoking a cigarette will be immensely easier wearing gloves, as you can leave them on (if you feel like you can sacrifice on the warmth, check out our list of the best snowboard gloves for 2019/20).

What mitts might lack in functionality; they make up for in style. Snowboard mitts are often embellished with some sick graphics, as there is more surface for a nice clean print and fewer seams.

    DaKine Fleetwood Mitt Jamie Anderson Snowboard Mitts 2019-2020

    PRICE: £55/€60

    Boss lady Jamie has put her name to the Fleetwood Mitt this year, and we think it looks rad. Although this lil’ palm pleaser isn’t just a pretty face, a polyurethane ‘DKdry’ insert sits inside the glove to keep the rain and snow out. A DWR coating sits on the exterior to ensure the water beads off and doesn’t begin soaking through.

    High loft synthetic insulation runs through the mitt and is housed inside a soft fleece lining. The palm is a softer, grippier material for sticking those tricky grabs and to make sure you don’t drop the ball.

    Removable wrist leashes mean you can say goodbye to that heart dropping moment when you see your favourite mitt fluttering off the side of the chairlift. DaKine have brought a warm, stylish, functional mitten to the table, and best of all, the price is super reasonable.

The Team Baron mitt from Dakine has everything you’d want in a storm proof layer for your hands.

    To make sure that your hands stay nice and dry a GoreTex insert sits inside the durable, water repellent leather outer. For good measure they’ve added a DWR coating to the outside as well.

    Drop Tahoma GTX Snowboard Mitt 2019-2020

    PRICE: $77

    The Tahoma is a high-quality mitt, packed to the fingertips with features and tech, with a snazzy look. The back and palm are made using premium Goatskin leather to ensure it’s a durable and hard-wearing mitten.

    The thumb and index finger are touch screen compatible, because it’s 2019 and if we’re being honest with ourselves we’re all slaves to technology now. There’s a tab just below the palm on either glove, that you can use to adjust the glove by pulling up and down.

    The main job of a mitten is to keep your hands toasty and stop them from getting soggy, so these are filled with Primaloft Eco Gold insulation – which is 90% recycled for bonus planet points. A GoreTex lining guarantees to keep your paws dry and is breathable to stop you from getting too sweaty.

    Micro Suede might sound like a tiny person from Sweden, but in this instance it’s actually a layer on the thumb that you can use to wipe your goggles (or your nose if you’re snotty).
