I am looking for heated gloves for cold-weather outdoor use (2–4 hours at a time). My current gloves don’t hold heat well and aren’t comfortable for long wear.I am hoping to get recommendations from people who hike, ski, or commute in cold climates. Battery life, consistent warmth, comfort, and durability are most important to me.What heated gloves have worked well for you?
I have heated gloves designed for use on a motorcycle. They plug into the bikes 12 volt system. Probably not what you want but I thought I’d mention it. The company name is “Gerbing”. There are many other 12v clothing manufacturers that cater to motorcyclists.
I bet if you do a Google search for battery powered gloves you’ll get a lot of options.
I used heated gloves I got from Amazon, Savior heated gloves. They are over $100. I used them for winter cycling for a year, but by the end of that year, the battery would not last 2 hours. I replaced the batteries a couple of times but they rarely lasted longer than 2 hours, and that was on the low setting. They were great when they were working, but I wouldn’t expect much more than two hours without recharging. I switched to “heavier” gloves and bar mitts on the handlebars to keep the wind off. When I am using the snowblower I use a pair of insulated gloves and have another pair under my coat, against my body to keep them warm. When the ones I’m wearing get too cold, I swap them with the warm ones and put the cold ones next to me to warm them up. A little clunky, but it works for me.

I received some for xmas and they are bulky and don’t produce much heat for their size. I went for a walk on a cold day with a cheap thin glove on one hand and the heated glove on the other and it was barely warmer.
I tried to find the specific ones on amazon but I couldn’t since they all look the same because they probably are all the same. If you find some good ones post them here.
