Under The Cuff or Over The Cuff Gloves: Which Should You Be Using?

"There are a lot of different types of ski and snowboard gloves out there, whether they're leather, waterproof, insulated, or more lightweight. All of those differences are important to consider when buying a new pair of gloves, but Alpine adventurer and IFMGA Mountain Guide Dave Searle took a look at the difference between gloves that go under your jacket cuff and gloves that go over your jacket cuff."

"This is a pretty interesting topic to look at, but it's primarily more important for those hiking, touring, or climbing rather than those just riding lifts. If you're just riding lifts, you probably won't be lifting your arms above your head all to frequently. As such, under the cuff are likely the more preferred option.

There are many types of ski and snowboard gloves including leather, waterproof, insulated, and lightweight options. Differences in materials and construction affect warmth, dexterity, and weather protection. Gloves designed to be worn under jacket cuffs suit lift-based skiing and casual riding because arms rarely go above head, keeping snow and wind out while allowing easier layering. Gloves designed to go over jacket cuffs work better for hiking, backcountry touring, and climbing where raising arms and preventing snow entry at the wrist are critical. Choosing cuff style should match activity, expected arm positions, and layering strategy for effective protection and mobility.
