At Espace Cagoules, our expertise has been built around a simple principle: to offer accessories that are truly useful against the cold, designed for the practical uses of winter. After balaclavas, ushankas, and beanies, it was logical to expand this universe to an equally essential category: Winter Gloves and Mittens.
This collection responds to a clear intention: to keep hands warm in everyday situations, without excessive constraints or unnecessary technicality. It is aimed at those who face winter during their commutes, walks, moments of waiting, urban travel, or moderate outdoor activities. Here, the cold is not an abstract concept: it is a lived reality, sometimes for several hours a day.
The Winter Gloves and Mittens thus fit into a logic of accessible, comfortable, and durable thermal protection. They naturally complement the winter gear already offered in the shop, forming a coherent set with other accessories dedicated to the head, neck, and face.
Unlike ultra-technical accessories intended for intensive sports practices, this collection prioritizes balance. The models are selected for their ability to retain the natural warmth of the hand while maintaining essential freedom of movement for everyday life.
The gloves wrap each finger to maximize thermal protection, while the mittens offer a more flexible alternative, particularly appreciated when precision of movement is important. This complementarity allows everyone to choose according to their habits, environment, and relationship with the cold.
This deliberately measured approach allows us to offer accessories that are easy to wear, simple to match, and pleasant over time, without creating unrealistic expectations or confusion about their use.
The Winter Gloves and Mittens are not an isolated category: they integrate into a global set designed for winter. When paired with a balaclava, ushanka, or beanie, they allow for a homogeneous protection against the cold, from head to hands.
The Winter Gloves and Mittens fully integrate into the winter universe developed by Espace Cagoules. This collection naturally complements our main categories dedicated to cold protection, including the Women's Balaclavas, the Men's Balaclavas and the Children's Balaclavas. Together, these accessories allow for a cohesive protection designed to face winter in everyday uses.

The models in this collection are made from polyester knit, chosen for its softness, durability, and ability to retain heat without causing discomfort. The plush texture of the knit provides a pleasant sensation as soon as you put it on, while the natural breathability of the fabric limits moisture buildup during extended wear.
Some variants feature twisted stitches, providing both enhanced support and a warm visual dimension. The knit naturally conforms to the shape of the hand, without stiffness or excessive compression, allowing for fluid movements in daily tasks.
Gloves offer complete protection by enveloping each finger individually. They are particularly suitable when warmth is a priority, especially during prolonged cold periods or static movements.
Mittens, on the other hand, leave the fingers free while effectively covering the hand and wrist. This design promotes mobility and precision in movements: writing, using a phone, driving, handling objects, or holding a hot drink becomes easier without having to remove your accessories at every moment.
The long, ribbed cuffs found on many models limit the entry of cold air and enhance the feeling of warmth while ensuring a good fit.
The Winter Gloves and Mittens are available in a wide range of shades: pearl gray, sandy beige, cream, deep black, petrol blue, mustard, brick, taupe, and dark purple. This diversity allows for easy coordination with a coat, scarf, or balaclava.
A winter accessory is not limited to its thermal function. The colors and textures contribute fully to the pleasure of wearing these pieces daily, allowing for varied combinations according to desires and situations.
This collection accompanies a wide variety of situations: commuting, walks, urban travel, waiting moments, remote work in a cool interior, outings with children, or simple moments of comfort outdoors.
Models adapted for children are also offered, with cuts designed for their morphology and constant softness. The goal remains the same: to effectively protect against the cold without hindering movement or causing discomfort.
A gentle wash at a maximum of 30 °C is recommended, ideally in a mesh bag or by hand. Flat drying, away from direct heat sources, helps preserve the shape of the knit, its softness, and its durability over time.
To face the cold under good conditions, hands are just one element of winter gear. The Winter Gloves and Mittens naturally combine with our collections designed for more exposed environments, such as the Ski Balaclavas, the Women's Ski Balaclavas and the Chapkas. These combinations create a coherent set, designed for overall thermal comfort during the winter season.
Depending on the uses and conditions, some winter situations may require more specific accessories. For motorized travel or environments exposed to wind, our Motorcycle Balaclavas meet targeted needs. However, the Winter Gloves and Mittens collection remains the central entry point for daily, versatile, and comfortable use throughout the cold season.

Gloves cover each finger separately and provide more complete thermal protection. Mittens keep the fingers together, which promotes mobility and precision of movement. The choice depends on the balance sought between warmth and freedom of movement.
Yes, thick knitted mittens effectively retain heat, especially because the fingers are kept together. They are particularly suitable for daily use and moderate outdoor activities.
They are designed for light use: walking, commuting, daily trips. For intensive sports activities like skiing or snowboarding, specific technical models are more suitable.
If maximum warmth is the priority, gloves are recommended. If finger freedom is essential for daily activities, mittens offer an excellent compromise between thermal comfort and mobility.
Yes, the polyester knit used is soft, does not itch, and is suitable for sensitive skin, even during prolonged wear.
A gentle wash at a maximum of 30 °C is recommended, with flat drying. These precautions help maintain the softness, shape, and durability of the knit over time.
