Mittens or fingerless gloves – what suits you best?

When choosing cross-country ski gloves from LillSport, the first step is to decide whether fingerless or mittens are best for you. Most cross-country skiers prefer fingerless gloves due to their flexibility and good control. They provide good grip and make it easy to handle pole straps, ski boots and zips. Models such as the Legend Slim, Touring and the best-selling Coach are popular choices within the LillSport range for both training and competition.

For those who get cold hands easily, mittens for cross-country skiing may be a better option. Mittens provide extra warmth because the fingers warm each other, and models like the Celcius Race Mitt or the classic Mitt 1 combine warmth with function even while skiing.

Standard or slim fit – find the right feel

The fit is very important for the feel in your hand when you are cross-country skiing. Many of LillSport's cross-country skiing gloves are available in two different fits. Standard fit applies unless otherwise stated, while Slim fit is marked with Slim in the product name, for example Legend Slim. The Slim fit is about five millimeters narrower than standard but has the same length, which is suitable for those who want a tighter and more precise feel around the hand.

Real leather or synthetic – the differences you should know

The choice of material in the palm affects both comfort, grip and durability. Genuine leather gives a natural, soft and warm feel with very good grip. Synthetic leather, such as Clarino, is extremely durable, easy to care for and can be machine washed. Both options are available in the LillSport range, and the choice depends on whether you prioritize maximum comfort or easy care and long life.

Liners – undergarments for the hands

A liner acts as an underlayer for the hands and is a practical complement to cross-country ski gloves from LillSport. If you already have a thin glove, or are planning to get one, you can easily supplement it with a liner for extra warmth. With a liner, you can adjust the warmth according to temperature and pace, ride with or without depending on the weather and at the same time increase the glove's range of use.
