Head Junior Ski Gloves/Mittens

The scoop

Spotted something interesting in the clearance aisle: HEAD Junior Ski Gloves/Mittens with waterproof inserts are being marked down. With plenty of winter still ahead and ski season in full swing, this could be one of those rare mid-season clearance finds worth grabbing.

These are HEAD-branded ski gloves designed for kids, featuring a waterproof insert to keep little hands dry on the slopes. They’re available in various sizes across different item numbers. HEAD is a legitimate ski equipment brand, so these aren’t mystery-brand gloves that’ll fall apart after one run.

Here’s the thing about ski glove pricing: quality kids’ ski gloves typically run $25-40 at full retail, and they grow out of them faster than you can say “bunny slope.” If these are clearing at a significant discount, that’s actually solid value for a mid-winter pickup. The waterproof insert is the key feature here—wet hands mean a miserable day on the mountain and an early retreat to hot chocolate.

Why would ski gloves hit clearance in February? Could be overstock from the holiday rush, or Costco might be making room for spring inventory despite winter sports season still going strong. Most ski resorts don’t close until March or April, so you’ve got plenty of use left this season. That said, clearance inventory is always hit-or-miss on sizing, so if you need a Small specifically, don’t sleep on this.

If your kids are hard on gear or you need backup gloves after the inevitable “I lost one” scenario, this is worth a look. Do your kids burn through winter gloves faster than you’d like to admit, or are yours the rare unicorns who never lose anything?
