The two main properties expected from ski gloves are the protection of your hand from the freezing cold weather and to produce the durability necessary to stand the rigors paused by the need to hold the ski pole. It is damage of the palm of the glove due to holding of the ski pole that causes the replacement of ski gloves most often.
A ski glove has to have the correct level of padding of fingers and the palms but still it has to allow the wearer some freedom to use his fingers. Therefore, a good ski glove has to be thin to allow the wearer to have freedom of using his fingers, yet it also should have the thickness to protect his hand from the cold weather.
A good ski glove is the one that keeps the hand warm while absorbing the moisture to make it comfortable to the wear. In order to provide these properties, good gloves are made using water wicking liner on the inside and water resistant leather on the outside.
Some of the ski gloves are equipped with special features of squeegees to wipe the goggles in the index finger and a nose wipe on the thumb. Some of them are equipped with removable liners and elastic gauntlets also.
You get separate gloves for women skiers. Bothe gloves and mittens intended for women skiers also provide the same properties. They are padded to keep the cold away and are provided with water wicking liners to absorb the moisture. You have a range of gloves offered at different prices.
