From the first snowfall of the season to festive drinks from Starbucks, there are a lot of things to love about winter. However, cold hands aren’t one of them.
Our hands tend to get cold when the temperatures plunge because our bodies divert blood flow from our extremities and send it to our vital organs instead. This might make you think that frosty fingers are just something you have to live with during the winter months. Thankfully, there is good news. There is plenty of cold-weather gear available to help fight the chill.
As with other types of winter wear, gloves come in a variety of fashionable styles and materials, and many of them include features like water resistance and touchscreen compatibility. You can even find some gloves for special activities like skiing, snowboarding, hiking and running.
To help win the war against cold hands, the team at RetailMeNot has done some research to select the best winter gloves for men, women and children. Read on to see our top picks for warm and stylish gloves that you can pair with everything from a puffer jacket to a cute pair of boots.
