Women's mittens

Looking for a way to keep your hands warm in the winter without sacrificing comfort? For many buyers, finger gloves are the first choice, as they fear that women's mittens won't provide a good enough grip. But don't worry: even with mittens you are well equipped in winter and can pursue many activities.  

Warming mittens for ladies

When it comes to gloves in winter, women – as well as men and children – have the choice of two variants. There are mittens for ladies or alternatively the well-known finger gloves. If you think mittens are only for babies, that's a common misconception. In fact, mittens for adults are both fashionable, and at the same time, quite practical. Particularly advantageous with mittens is the fact that four of your fingers are in one sleeve. In this way, the fingers warm each other and the heat is not lost between the individual fingers, as would be the case with finger gloves. Mittens are therefore warmer than the classic gloves with five fingers.

Everything under control despite mittens

Gloves in general are a handy, but not always comfortable, way to keep your hands warm in the winter. Still, there is little alternative, because nobody wants cold hands. So you have the choice between freezing fingers or covering your fingers. With finger gloves you can use all your fingers, but you still don't have much more grip than with mittens. So there's little difference, since you'd be taking off both types of gloves anyway for tickets on the train or using your smartphone, for example. So reach for mittens in the dead of winter. They keep you especially warm and are also visually a real eye-catcher.

Popular materials for women's mittens

We are often guided by looks when choosing matching clothes or accessories, such as bags . However, you should pay much more attention to the other features of bags as well as gloves and other accessories. Are the gloves waterproof and do they also repel wind? All this has nothing to do with the appearance and is rather influenced by the material used. For mittens for women, polyester and polyamide are often used as synthetic materials, but also warm wool is very popular with the ladies. Wool is a popular material, especially for lining and insulation. Browse afound.com for the mittens that suit you and your style. Discover exclusive fashion deals where you can save up to 70%.

FAQs

Mittens or finger gloves – which warms more?

Because a mitten has four out of five fingers in a single sleeve and only the thumb is extra wrapped, a mitten warms more than a fingered glove. We often automatically reach for the five-finger gloves because we assume that these gloves are just as good, but offer more freedom of movement. The freedom of movement is indeed a little more limited with mittens, but women's mittens are better at keeping the heat inside. So if it's purely for warmth, the choice should definitely be mittens.

How to wash women's mittens?

Once your mittens are dirty, you don't always have to wash them by hand. Of course, a little dirt on the gloves is quickly cleaned, but the accessories may also be washed in the washing machine. Look for the manufacturer's instructions on what temperatures are okay to wash at. Most of the time it is 30 degrees, which the material of the mittens can easily cope with. 

What are the most important buying criteria for women's mittens?

When buying mittens, the look is important to you and we can understand that. This accessory blends in with your outfit and should therefore be perfectly coordinated with your jacket etc. in terms of colour. However, the features are much more important than the colours or patterns, because at the end of the day, mittens have to serve their purpose first and foremost. If you want to romp in the snow yourself or with your children, then the mittens should be waterproof. If you only wear them to keep your hands warm, then a water-repellent material is sufficient. However, make sure that they ideally also repel wind so that your fingers don't get cold.
