Burton Kids' Vent Gloves - Warm, Breathable Ski Gloves for Kids

Our review of the Burton Kids' Vent Gloves finds them to be a dependable choice for children who spend long days playing in snow or learning to ski. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a truly waterproof DRYRIDE membrane with lightweight ThermacoreECO insulation, which keeps little hands dry without feeling bulky or restrictive. These gloves balance warmth, touchscreen control and practical details like a heater/vent pocket and removable wrist leash, making them a sensible pick for parents who want versatile, hard-wearing gloves for colder months.

Key Features

• Waterproof protection: The DRYRIDE two-layer fabric with an extra-thin waterproof membrane keeps hands dry in wet snow without adding weight.
• Low-bulk warmth: ThermacoreECO insulation provides breathable warmth so kids stay comfortable without oversized mitts getting in the way.
• Touchscreen control: Screen Grab PU palm allows kids to use a phone or camera without taking the gloves off, helping with quick photos or safety checks.
• Hand-warming and ventilation: The heater/vent pocket accepts a disposable warmer or opens for airflow on milder days, extending the gloves' useful temperature range.
• Durable comfort: A brushed microfiber fixed lining adds cozy warmth while an internal name tag and removable wrist leash add practical, kid-friendly details.
• Responsible materials: Made with bluesign materials to limit environmental impact and backed by a lifetime warranty for long-term use.

Who It's For

These gloves suit active kids who need reliable ski- or snow-play gloves that are not overly bulky and allow for some dexterity. Families looking for a washable, responsibly made option with practical features like a wrist leash, name tag and touchscreen-capable palm will appreciate the thoughtfulness of the design.

They are less appropriate for children needing heavy expedition-level insulation in extreme arctic conditions; in those cases a thicker mitten or dedicated expedition glove would be better. Also, parents who prefer removable liners for drying may prefer a different style, since the lining here is fixed.
