Although gloves shouldn’t be too tight because they need to be comfortable enough for winter activities, snow gloves should also not be too loose. The fit needs to be right for the child at that given time. Yes, there is an issue with kids continuing to grow but remember that winter is the season in the year where snow comes into play. So, if a new pair of gloves needs to be bought the next year that fit the child well, then so be it. Remember when it comes to gloves like, with any article of clothing, the fit is key. Another thing to remember is that at first, a pair of snow gloves may seem tight even if they are the proper size because like a pair of shoes, gloves may need to be broken in, actually getting used to the hand they are covering.
