The Burton Kids Vent Mittens are warm, easy to get on, and solve a couple of common problems for younger skiers. They cinch easily over a jacket cuff, which matters when you’re dealing with cold hands and limited patience. The mitten design holds heat better than gloves, so they work well in colder conditions. The external zip pocket is the differentiator. It’s designed for hand warmers, keeping them off direct skin while still adding heat. It also works as a ski pass holder. Younger kids often aren’t tall enough for chest-mounted passes to trigger RFID gates, but they can raise a hand. Keeping the pass in the mitten makes it easy to hit the reader.
