Teen Boys Gloves and Mittens

Obermeyer has been making mountain gear since 1947, including cold-weather handwear built to keep young riders warm and dry all day on the hill.

Gloves or Mittens: Choosing the Right Fit for Your Ride

The choice between gloves and mittens comes down to how your teen rides and how cold the conditions get. The Teen's Lava Glove gives each finger its own channel, which matters when you're adjusting bindings, working a zipper, or just gripping poles. 

The Teen's Molten Mitten takes a different approach. Keeping fingers together traps more heat, making it the right call for cold days, windy summits, or teens who just run cold. If your rider prioritizes staying warm over fine motor control on the hill, the mitten wins every time. 

What Makes Obermeyer Teen Handwear Different

Obermeyer builds the Teen's Lava Glove and Teen's Molten Mitten from teen-specific patterns, so the fit is actually proportional to teen hands, not just smaller.

Both styles feature waterproof construction designed to hold up through full days in wet snow, reinforced palm zones that resist wear from pole grips and lift rails, and secure wrist closures that seal out cold air without restricting movement. The insulation is warm enough for cold lifts and breathable enough for hard runs. Built for the mountain, not just the walk from the car.

Why Buy Teen Boys Gloves and Mittens

  • Dexterity on Demand - The Teen's Lava Glove delivers individual finger control for pole work, buckles, and gear adjustments mid-run
  • Maximum Warmth - The Teen's Molten Mitten keeps fingers together in a shared chamber, making it the go-to for cold days and riders who run cold
  • Waterproof Construction - Both the Teen's Lava Glove and Teen's Molten Mitten use waterproof shells built for full days in wet snow
  • Teen-Specific Fit - Proportional patterns mean no excess bulk, no wrist gaps, and full range of motion for growing athletes
  • Reinforced Where It Counts - Palm zones on both styles hold up to pole grips and lift rails all season

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best teen boys gloves and mittens for skiing? +

Insulated gloves and mittens designed for skiing feature waterproof shells, reinforced palms, and secure wrist closures built for slope conditions. Obermeyer's Teen's Lava Glove and Teen's Molten Mitten are built specifically for ski use with all of these features.

What is the difference between ski gloves and ski mittens for teenagers? +

Gloves offer individual finger dexterity for operating zippers and buckles, while mittens trap more warmth by keeping fingers together in a shared chamber. For colder days or teens who run cold, the Teen's Molten Mitten is typically the warmer choice.

How do I know what size ski gloves to buy for a teenage boy? +

Measure hand circumference across the knuckles and reference Obermeyer's size chart for teen-specific fits. Too loose and you lose dexterity, and cold air gets in at the wrist.

Are waterproof gloves worth it for teen skiers? +

Yes, wet hands lose heat rapidly on the mountain, so waterproof construction isn't optional, wet hands lose heat fast. The Teen's Lava Glove uses a waterproof shell suited to full days in snow and wet conditions.

Can teen boys use the same gloves for skiing and everyday winter wear? +

Ski-specific gloves can handle everyday use, though they're built for the mountain and tend to be beefier than a casual winter glove. The Teen's Lava Glove manages both uses well for teens who want one versatile option across the season.
