How We Selected
There are plenty of options to make sure that kids hands stay warm and snug in cold conditions.
Waterproof, fleece lined mittens are great for wet and cold days.
Reflective piping trim can be handy on those dark early evenings and velcro fastenings make mitts easy to put on and keep on.
Bigger kids prefer the movement of gloves rather than mittens so waterproof, padded fleece lined pairs will do the job nicely.
We’ve searched the market and chosen styles which are suitable for various outdoor activities from skiing and playing in the snow, to playing ball games.
All of our recommendations have 4-5/5* reviews.

What To Consider When Buying Kids Waterproof Gloves
Protection From The Elements
Make sure the gloves you choose are made of materials that have high insulating or thermal properties so they keep their hands warm in the cold weather.
They need to be waterproof so that they keep their hands completely dry even when they play in the snow or take part in winter sports such as skiing.
Are They Breathable?
Most waterproof coatings reduce the breathability of gloves, causing the hands to sweat and feel uncomfortable, so check that there is some breathability to them for comfort.
Are They Durable?
You want the gloves to be durable and not fall apart after one use, so make sure you choose quality well-made gloves which are made of materials which will stand the test of time.
Style
Kids are going to want gloves which are stylish and well designed. Why not choose a pair which your kids will love to wear. If they prefer mittens opt for these or if they prefer fingers in the gloves let them make the decision so they are more likely to wear them. There are different options including a mixture of both mittens and gloves so choose which work best for your child.
Fit
Make sure the gloves are neither too big or too small. Kids want to feel comfortable and not restricted.
FAQ’s Kids Waterproof Gloves
Waterproof gloves are usually coated or have special insert layers that repel water to keep hands dry in rain and snow.
If you want proper waterproof gloves you need to make sure you don’t just opt for water resistant gloves as the water will seap through these in wet conditions.
They are an essential part of their outdoor clothing as they will keep little hands warm and dry whilst they have fun outside.
Some gloves will come with a waterproof rating. Anything between 1,500mm-5,000mm is suitable for everyday wear and for more extreme weather a rating of up to 10,000mm is recommended.
Mittens keep fingers together in one space and they can be more efficient at keeping children’s hands warm. They are also easier to put on and take off.
Gloves give kids the ability to do more with their hands so for toddlers mittens are probably the best option and for older children who do more with their hands gloves are more favourable.
Final Thought
My top pick are the Azarxis Kids Snow Gloves as they are lightweight and moisture-wicking, but still have soft, warm fleece inside to keep little hands warm.
I hope this list of the best kids waterproof gloves was helpful.
