One of the hardest parts about skiing or snowboarding is sitting in the wind and cold on the lift rides up the mountain. With other winter sports such as snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, your body is always working, so it’s pretty easy to stay warm. That’s not usually the case with downhill skiing or snowboarding though. Even if you have good gloves, the wind always seems to sneak in around the wrists. That’s why some bright person invented Wristies Wrist Warmers.
These fingerless gloves are longer than usual, extending halfway up your forearm. They’re thin enough to be used as inserts beneath your regular waterproof gloves, but heavy enough to keep your wrists nice and warm and protected from the wind. $11 gets you a pair from the Snow Shack. (Kids and adult sizes available.)

Hi there,
Thanks for the post. Glad you shared. That “bright person” who invented Wristies was only 10 years old at the time. Wristies are made entirely in the USA (from fabric to Wristie) and the word, “Wristies” is a Registered Trademark that we license and own.
We have all sorts of colors (solids and prints) and styles in stock, including Heated Wristies, Short Wristies, and Sleeves. Please stop by and read the story or shop on line. We appreciate your post, and would love to be added to the links.
Warm regards,
