Black Friday hiking gloves
Cold fingers make even the smallest tasks difficult: strap, zipper, card. This page brings together hiking gloves on sale during the Black Friday, from the thin mid-season model to the glove insulated for high mountains. Compare the insulation, palm, and size.
Why protect your hands while hiking
Your hands are exposed to wind and cold, as well as the friction from sticks and rocks. A suitable glove protects the skin, maintains dexterity, and makes walking more pleasant, even in cool weather.
Thin, insulating or protective
A thin fleece glove is enough for the mid-season. An insulating model, often equipped with a membrane against water and wind, is suitable for winter and high altitudes. Gloves with reinforced palms hold up better against sticks and rocky passages.
Specialists and generalists
The filter on this page shows Black Diamond, Helly Hansen, Outdoor Research, Pajak, and Whistler. This selection combines mountain specialists and more general brands, making it easy to find a model for every use.

Taking care of your gloves
Gloves can be washed at low temperatures or by hand for membrane models. Let them air dry, away from radiators that can harden leather and damage seams. A well-maintained glove keeps its insulation longer.
Under gloves and over gloves
In extreme cold, you can sometimes layer a thin under-glove with a thicker glove. This combination allows you to remove the outer layer for precise handling without fully exposing your fingers, which is valuable when using a camera or a map.
A simple gesture to retain warmth
When the cold sets in, only take off your gloves for precise tasks and put them back on quickly. Cold fingers take a long time to warm up, and the loss of dexterity increases the risk of errors. Keep a dry spare pair in the pocket of your bag.
Gloves or mittens
Mittens keep you warmer, as fingers warm each other up, but they limit your movements. Gloves offer more precision. For classic hiking, gloves are sufficient. Mittens are mainly justifiable in extreme cold and deep snow.
A well-chosen hat and a neck warmer complete the body's protection against the cold.
