What is a good brand of ski gloves that's not too expensive?

Just make sure they breathe well, reinforced (ski edges will rip them apart otherwise), and fit comfortably. Having those wrist loops are also a huge bonus since you can take your gloves off without fear of dropping them, especially on the chairlift. I think my gloves are Swany. I bought them at a discount store on sale 7 years ago for around $20. I bought them because they fit and were comfortable.

WindRiver. I got them at marks warehouse for $25 and have been completely satisfied. I would suggest wearing a pair of mini gloves under them though

I use $15 Kinco work gloves.

Have a pair of mitts when it gets to about -5F.

Make sure they are breathable so they don't hold sweat. Otherwise, you hands will get cold. Toko are good, but rather expensive ($30+) depending what style you get.
