Pros

• Flexible
• Good battery life
• Heat control is user friendly and accessible

Cons

• Run small

This pair from Savior Heat will work for the majority of people, whether you’re skiing, riding, or just outside and needing that extra warmth that only some electricity can provide.

The outer layer is made of a lambskin-polyester mix, and the interior is lined with fleece. A waterproof layer sits between those. Each glove has a one-button control to turn them on and off and cycle between three heating modes.

These are wind- and water-resistant, and the gauntlet-style cuff adds further protection against wintry mixes.

Customers credit them for keeping their hands warm during a variety of activities, including skiing, motorcycle riding, biking, and snow shoveling, as mentioned in the reviews. Overall, the battery life met expectations for these activities.

Keep in mind that they run small, so you may need to size up. If your hands hover between sizes, size up.

Pros

• Lightweight
• Can layer with other gloves
• Won’t limit dexterity

Cons

• Not waterproof

These heated liners are great if you’re looking to bolster the warmth of your favorite work or riding gloves. They’re constructed from a polyester-Lycra blend for a form-fitting fit and easy layering under a heftier glove. And if it’s a relatively warm day, you can wear them on their own to benefit from the dexterity thanks to their thin build. The battery zips into a neoprene pocket at the wrist to keep it from hindering any mobility.

The majority of customers use these liners under their bulkier pairs because they don’t offer much wind protection, though those in mild winter climates can get away with using them as an everyday pair. They’re also a good option if you have arthritis or Raynaud’s disease. You can wear them on their own as a heating blanket on a cold night, without the unnecessary bulk.

Pros

• Lightweight
• Reflective accents for visibility
• Cinches at wrist and gauntlet

Day Wolf also makes these heated gloves that are excellent for riding or working in the dark. They have reflective accents over the top of the hands to ensure you’re seen on the roads.

The exterior is waterproof, and the gloves can be cinched at both the cuff end and just under the palms to really seal out the cold. They’re also relatively compact and about as thick as a pair of beefy leather Giv’r gloves, so they’re great for sports or work.

Multiple reviews note they hold up well over a season, even when used for construction work.

Insulation	Polyester fill

Pros

• Heating coils extend through the fingers
• Slimmer profile than other options
• Cinchable wrist and gauntlet

Cons

• Relatively short battery life

These are a standout for their excellent heating coils that fully surround the finger for warmth on both sides. Most other options have a coil on the top of the glove, which is why many feel their fingers get cold first.

In addition to efficient heating, these gloves are water-resistant and feature Thinsulate insulation. Its exterior uses a mix of durable leather and nylon. You can cinch them around the wrists and cinch the opening of the extended gauntlet. They also have wrist leashes so that you won’t lose them on the slopes.

They have a shorter battery life than other options, but still last up to six hours on a single charge when set to low.

Pros

• Heated liners can be used with other gloves
• Both liner and outer shell are touchscreen compatible
• Water-resistant on both inner and outer gloves

Cons

• Bulky silhouette

This pair offers versatility, with a heated liner glove and an insulated outer glove. There’s no sacrificing of features for either, as both pairs are water-resistant and touchscreen compatible.

The inner gloves have some stretch to them and house the battery pack in the outer wrist. The wrist adjusts with a Velcro strap for a snug fit. They can be worn with or without the outer glove, but don’t have much insulation. The outer gloves are packed with Thinsulate insulation, feature an elastic leash, and have a pull-strap for wrist adjustment. Both have a nonslip textile on the palms for good grip.

The gauntlet doesn’t extend as far as others on our list, but still gives you ample coverage. Since both the inner and outer gloves cinch, they’re capable of keeping out the cold and wind, but if you’re in severe conditions with precipitation, you should opt for another pair.

Pros

• Durable, double-stitched seams
• Gore-tex lining
• Durable, double-stitched seams

Cons

• Probably overkill for most

These waterproof gloves are packed with insulation and have a soft fleece lining to keep your hands warm and dry while hitting the slopes or going on a snowy hike. An indicator on the wrist changes color to let you know which heat level they’re set at and the battery pack zips into the inner wrist to stay protected and out of your way.

They’re touchscreen-compatible but come with elastic leashes to keep them close in case you do. The cinch wrists sit a bit higher on these, just under your palm for a closer, snug fit that’s ideal for winter sports; It feels more natural and not like you’re wearing a bulky pair of gloves. While I haven’t had these long, the double-stitched seam construction suggests they’ll last a while.

The Prevail gloves come with batteries and wall charger. Still, unexpected additions like a travel bag and wall chargers for Europe and the U.K. are appreciated and ensure you have everything you need, no matter where your next ski trip takes you.

Pros

• Waterproof membrane
• Abrasion-resistant leather

Cons

• No elastic leash

This pair delivers on what you want from the classic work glove—ruggedness, durability, waterproofing—but keeps you warm in cold work conditions with its integrated thermal tech.

The glove heats the entire length of each finger, the thumb, and the sides of your hand. Its double-layered leather palm provides a firm grip on tools, snow shovels, or machines, and the fingers are pre-curved for improved comfort and dexterity.

The interior is both fleece-lined and waterproof, letting moisture (i.e., sweat) escape so your hands stay dry and insulated. If the wind really picks up, you can cinch the wrist with the drawstring toggle cord.

Reviewers say these heated work gloves are heavy-duty—durable against abrasions and nicks —and comfortable to wear for long periods. Since they’re so thick, they won’t be suitable for any precision work, but they will see you through most yard work.

Pros

• Long run time in low setting
• Water-resistant
• Has zip pocket to store belongings

Cons

• Mittens inherently limit dexterity

Mittens may appear retro, but their warmth retention is unmatched. Add in some modern heating technology, and your hands stay toasty for up to six hours.

There are three heat settings ranging from 100 to 150 degrees Fahrenheit, with a polyester fill and a fleece lining to retain warmth. Since they’re mittens, they don’t afford the dexterity of gloves, so these are best suited for skiing or trekking poles. However, they do have separate finger gloves on the inside for a more secure fit.

Reviewers say these mittens warm up fast and are well-insulated. While the battery life is listed at 6.5 hours, some experienced it lasting even longer when left on the low setting.
