Friends from southern China, Harbin’s winters are extremely cold—gloves are an absolute essential for staying warm when going out! Today we’ll share tips on choosing a pair of gloves that are both cozy and practical.
Glove Material Comparison
There are various glove materials on the market, with common options including leather, wool, down, and fleece. Leather gloves provide great waterproof and windproof protection and have a cool appearance, but they have average breathability and are relatively pricey. Wool gloves are more affordable, cost-effective, and offer good breathability, though their waterproof performance is lacking. Down gloves deliver top-tier warmth, perfect for frigid conditions, but they tend to be bulky. Fleece gloves are lightweight, warm, sweat-absorbent, and offer excellent value for money.
If you’re just visiting Harbin for casual strolls at Ice World, Central Street, or similar spots, fleece or wool gloves will suffice. For skiing, leather or down gloves are more suitable. Ice City Warm Sun offers gloves in all these materials, available for both rental and purchase to meet different needs.
Touchscreen Compatibility Matters
These days, smartphones are indispensable when going out. In Harbin’s freezing weather, gloves without touchscreen functionality mean you have to take them off every time you use your phone, leaving your hands numb in no time. That’s why touchscreen capability is a key feature to look for when choosing gloves. Many gloves from Ice City Warm Sun come with touchscreen support—whether you’re taking photos for social media or using navigation, you won’t need to remove your gloves at all.
Choose the Right Ski Gloves
If you plan to ski in Harbin, don’t overlook ski gloves. They need to be not only warm but also waterproof and wear-resistant. Typically, ski gloves have two layers: an outer layer made of waterproof, durable material and an inner layer of warm fleece or down.
Ice City Warm Sun’s ski gloves are a great choice, with a wide range of styles and sizes. Plus, if you rent, you can exchange for a different size if needed. On the Ice City Warm Sun mini-program, you can select the right gloves based on your needs and enjoy convenient rental service with direct delivery to your hotel—how hassle-free!
In short, when choosing gloves, consider material, touchscreen function, and use case. We hope everyone finds the perfect pair to stay warm and have a wonderful winter in Harbin!
