GLOVES

No snowmachiner should ride without gloves. Some choose mittens, which can be the warmest, to protect their hands. The problem with mittens of course, it the lack of manual dexterity while using them. Always purchase gloves or mittens that allow your hands to operate the controls freely, repel water and wind, and keep your hands warm. Fleece or wool glove liners worn as a layer with regular over-gloves can help you adjust for changes in the conditions, since you can always add or remove the liners. Be prepared in case the grip warmers on the snowmachine should malfunction.

Gauntlets are available and offer excellent protection from wind and cold. These are “mittens” that attach to the handlebars and into which you put your glove-covered hands. Gauntlets are highly recommended for snowmachining in the arctic!
