Frequently Asked Questions

• What size should I buy for a toddler and how do I check fit for the Baby Zip Long Mittens?

  Size 1 is designed to fit roughly ages 1–2, but the best method is to measure hand length and compare it to the brand sizing chart to allow room for growth and mittens’ insulation. The long cuff offers extra coverage over jacket sleeves, and the elastic cuff with pull strap helps keep the mitten secure without cutting off circulation.
• How do the Baby Zip Long Mittens compare to the standard Hestra Baby Zip mittens?

  The Long version provides extended cuff length for more coverage over sleeves and extra protection in deep snow, while sharing core features like the side zipper, handcuff attachment, Primaloft Gold insulation, and a waterproof breathable membrane. Palm materials may vary (PU Digital or impregnated cowhide) between versions, so check the specific color/style listing for grip and durability differences.
• Are Hestra Baby Zip Long Mittens appropriate for skiing, snowboarding, and wet snow play?

  Yes, the combination of a breathable waterproof membrane and Primaloft Gold insulation makes them suitable for alpine skiing, snowboarding, sledding, and general snow play, as they resist moisture and retain warmth. Grippy palm materials and a reflective Scotchlite logo add practical safety and usability on the hill.
• What features help get these mittens on small hands and prevent losing them?

  A side zipper provides easy entry for tiny hands, and the elastic cuff with Velcro pull strap creates a snug seal over sleeves; the included handcuff attachment lets you tether the mittens to a jacket or snowsuit to reduce loss. The design balances easy on/off access with secure retention during active play.
