Swany Squad Gore-Tex Junior Mitt

Kids who spend the whole day on the hill, from ski school laps to snowball breaks, need a mitt that stays dry, and the Swany Squad Gore-Tex Junior Mitt delivers. It's a waterproof, breathable junior ski mitt with a softshell outer, a grippy synthetic leather palm and solid synthetic insulation. Fingers share warmth inside the mitt, so small hands stay comfortable on long, cold chairlift rides.

Why we like it:

A true Gore-Tex membrane at a junior price is the standout. Slush and wet snow are hard on kids' gear; this one shrugs them off.

Features and Functions:

A generous layer of zone-mapped Insuloft synthetic insulation gives the Squad Mitt its warmth, and a Polygiene StayFresh treated lining helps keep odor down. Gore-Tex sits between shell and insulation, so moisture from sweaty hands can escape while snow stays out. The synthetic leather palm handles pole grips and snowball construction without wearing through fast. A gauntlet cuff seals over the jacket sleeve, and a wrist leash keeps the mitt attached when it inevitably comes off on the lift.

Fit and Sizing:

Junior fit, finished with a long cuff that pulls over the jacket sleeve. The mitt shape is easier for younger kids to get on and off than a five-finger glove.

Bottom Line:

The pick for parents who want their kid's hands warm and dry through a full day of lessons and play.
