Active skiers and outdoor adventurers know that it’s often impossible to predict what the weather will bring. And while it’s important to pack light for ease and mobility, it’s also essential to be prepared for changing conditions. Ski gloves with removable liners solve the problem of which gloves to bring with you on the slopes by providing a versatile 2-in-1 all-weather system.
The outer shell is a durable waterproof glove for keeping out the wet, and the interior is a lining that is actually a separate set of gloves that provide added warmth and protection. On the chilliest of days, you’ll want to wear the gloves with the included liners. Then on more moderate days, you can go with just the liners or just the shells, dialing in precisely the protection you need.
Some features to consider when looking for waterproof gloves with detachable liners include: insulation for warmth, slip proof palm for a solid grip, touch-screen compatibility, and integrated clips for fastening together or onto your pack or jacket when not in use.
