Keep your hands warm

Just like with other outdoor equipment, the layering principle is crucial when choosing cross-country ski gloves. The right combination will help you stay warm and avoid cold hands throughout your training session or ski trip.

If you often get cold hands, a simple and effective tip is to supplement your cross-country ski gloves with a liner. Wool liner.provides extra warmth while absorbing and transporting moisture away, helping hands stay dry and warm for longer. If you have tight gloves without room for a liner, you can use a mitten instead, also called a Overstrap, which provides extra insulation when needed.

For those of you who get very cold, we recommend choosing mittens for cross-country skiing, such as Lillsport. My 1.. Mittens provide more air around the fingers, which means they keep each other warm better than five-fingered gloves. At the same time, they are thin enough to provide good feel and control in the pole.

By combining the right cross-country ski gloves from Lillsport with a customized liner you can optimize both warmth, comfort and moisture transport. Whether you're training intensely or riding long, leisurely rides, there are solutions that will help you keep your hands warm the whole way.

Things to keep in mind to stay dry

Keeping your hands dry is just as important as keeping them warm. If you sweat a lot, you can quickly freeze when you stop or slow down. That's why moisture transport is a crucial feature of cross-country skiing gloves, especially during longer training sessions and competitions.

If you are going on long sessions or races such as Vasaloppet, it can be a great advantage to have an extra pair of cross-country ski gloves to change into. Our gloves are designed to transport moisture away, and most of our lined models also have a lining that actively helps keep your hands dry.

If you know you sweat a lot but still want a lined glove, we recommend Legend Thermo or Legend Thermo Slim. These models have a lining that effectively wicks away moisture and helps keep your hands dry and comfortable even during long and intense workouts.

Remember to take care of your hands – it is often the fingers and toes that are most affected by the cold. With the right cross-country ski gloves, you reduce the risk of freezing and can fully focus on your skiing.
