Hopefully by now your winter wardrobe is well stocked with all the essentials: snuggly sweaters, durable boots, protective coats and toasty fleece-lined leggings. But now we want to talk about another cold weather necessity that is perhaps the most vital of them all. We’re talking about winter gloves, of course.

Whether you’re commuting outside, braving the cold during snowy sightseeing or reluctantly taking your dog for a long walk, heavy duty, ultra-warm winter gloves are an absolute must, folks. So we rounded up the best (and warmest) on the market, from waterproof options and others that come with built-in heating systems to lightweight styles ideal for an outdoor workout sesh. We hit up staffers, reviewers and other discerning users to weigh in on the benefits of, say, all-cashmere lining versus a less expensive cashmere blend. Here's a list of highlights, followed by details on all 25 that made the cut.

I love the way you can attach with wristband so you don't have to put the gloves down (where my dogs would run off with them!)." The over-the-cuff design keeps your body heat in and the their warmth, but their nifty design, too. The Gore-Tex fabrication is sturdy, warm and machine-washable, to boot.

15. Eddie Bauer Lodge Down Gloves

Warmest Waterproof Gloves

This elegant pair is crafted from a genuine sheepskin leather exterior and lined with all cashmere that doesn’t just feel soft on the skin (no itchiness here!) but is oh-so warm, too. "The price could easily be doubled and these gloves would still be a bargain," says one reviewer.

The glove’s outer has a water repellent coating, so you’re not going to feel that snowball slush on your hands. And during winter cold and flu season, we appreciate a pair of gloves you can toss in the washer on the cold cycle and then let air dry,

All-weather fabric is handsomely quilted, then lined with luxe poly Sherpa and trimmed at the cuff with genuine sheepskin in these gloves from fan favorite outdoors brand Ugg.
