Winter & Trekking Gloves

Protect your hands in cold, windy and high-altitude conditions with Gokyo winter & trekking gloves. The collection ranges from lightweight fleece liners and touchscreen gloves to insulated cold-weather gloves, wool mittens and technical summit mittens, allowing you to choose hand protection according to temperature, activity and destination.

Trekking Gloves for Different Levels of Cold

Hand protection needs change considerably as temperatures fall. For milder winter conditions, lightweight fleece liners such as the Makalu and Namche provide low-bulk warmth and can also be worn beneath heavier gloves. For colder trekking and winter travel, the range includes insulated options such as the Makalu Waterproof Cold Weather Gloves and K2 Extreme Cold Weather Gloves.

Insulated Gloves for Cold-Weather Travel

For lower temperatures, insulation becomes more important than simply covering the hands. Gokyo’s range includes 3M Thinsulate insulated gloves, waterproof cold-weather styles and fleece-lined gloves intended for trekking, snow destinations and winter outdoor use. The collection also includes touchscreen-compatible options for situations where you need basic phone access without repeatedly removing your gloves.

Liners, Wool Gloves & Mittens

A layered glove system gives you greater flexibility as conditions change. Lightweight fleece liners can be worn independently in moderate cold or beneath insulated outer gloves when temperatures drop. The collection also includes hand-knitted wool mittens and Spiti convertible wool gloves with a mitten flap, providing warmer options for winter travel and everyday cold-weather use.

Summit Mittens for More Demanding Conditions

For high-altitude and more severe cold, mittens can provide greater warmth by keeping the fingers together and reducing exposed surface area. The Makalu 3-Layer Summit Mittens sit at the technical end of the Gokyo glove range and are intended for conditions where greater insulation and protection are required.

Choose the Right Gloves for Your Trip

For moderate winter conditions, begin with fleece liners or lighter wind-resistant gloves. Move to insulated cold-weather gloves for colder treks and snow travel, and consider a liner-plus-outer-glove system when temperatures vary significantly. For high-altitude expeditions or particularly severe cold, a technical mitten provides the additional insulation needed for exposed conditions.

FAQs

Which gloves are best for trekking?
The right gloves depend on the expected temperature. Lightweight fleece or windproof gloves work well in moderate cold, while insulated gloves are more suitable as temperatures fall. For high-altitude or extreme-cold conditions, heavier gloves or summit mittens are preferable.

What are glove liners used for?
Glove liners provide lightweight warmth and can be worn on their own in milder conditions or underneath insulated gloves to create an additional layer of protection. Gokyo currently offers both Makalu and Namche lightweight fleece liner gloves.

Are there waterproof gloves in the Gokyo range?
Yes. The current collection includes the Makalu Waterproof Cold Weather Gloves, along with other insulated and weather-protective styles. Waterproofing and insulation vary by model, so the individual product specification should be checked before choosing.

Which gloves are suitable for temperatures around -10°C?
The current range includes Makalu Waterproof Cold Weather Gloves and K2 Extreme Cold Weather Gloves specifically listed for conditions down to approximately -10°C. Actual comfort will also depend on wind, activity level, circulation and individual cold tolerance.

Are mittens warmer than gloves?
Mittens generally retain heat more effectively because the fingers remain together. Gloves provide greater finger movement and dexterity, so many trekkers choose between the two according to temperature and the activity involved.

Should I carry two pairs of gloves on a high-altitude trek?
A layered system can be useful in colder conditions. Lightweight liners provide basic warmth and dexterity, while an insulated outer glove or mitten can be added when temperatures fall or wind exposure increases.
