Keep Out The Cold – We Review The Best Heated Gloves Of The Year
Heated gloves are brilliant – keeping hands warm and eliminating cold-chapped fingers. The majority are battery powered with some pairs being rechargeable. You’ll always feel warm and cozy, especially if they’re also paired with a suitable heated scarf.
When choosing heated gloves, you need to ensure that you can carry out your necessary tasks, even when fully gloved up. After rigorous testing, the following pairs came out on top in The Gadget Nerds tests.
All of the heated gloves reviewed in this article are unisex, and available in a variety of sizes.
1) SNOW DEER Heated Ski Mittens
Overview
We were highly impressed with these temperature-controlled heated gloves. They kept us warm for up to 5-6 hours of being out in the snow, and thanks to the pliable design, it’s easy to do work or winter sports, such as skiing, even when you’re wearing them.
What We Like
These premium heated gloves by SNOW DEER come in a range of sizes for men and women. Sometimes heated gloves fail to transmit heat evenly, but that isn’t a problem with these. Every part of our hands, right to the tips of our fingers stayed warm for most of the day, perfectly protected from the wind and the rain. The gloves heat up relatively fast, so you’ll soon benefit from the effects, even when you’re already out in the elements. The soft material and stitching feels strong and is made from fast-drying fabric. Finally, these gloves come with a 1-year warranty.
What Needs Improving
Our only comment is that the battery life could be improved a little; however, you can preserve your battery by switching the gloves off when you’re out of the cold.
2) Savior Rechargeable Heated Gloves
Overview
On unpacking the Savior Heated Gloves, it struck us how well made this pair is. They are robust, designed for maximum comfort, yet allowing your fingers full flexibility.
What We Like
These fitted perfectly even for smaller hands, and reach a nice length up the wrist. They are supple right from the outset, and we found picking up even the tiniest things easy. The tough outer fabric isn’t going to get damaged by any outdoor work, and they would be excellent for biking, skiing, or mountaineering.
What Needs Improving
On the highest heat setting, the battery lasts approximately 4 hours, however, unless you plan to traverse the Arctic, this is too hot for most conditions.
3) Autocastle 3-Level Control Heated Gloves
Overview
Highly practical and well-fitting, no wonder these heated gloves are flying off the shelves. If you find the need to adjust the heat in your gloves throughout the day, the controls are conveniently accessible and rapidly responsive.
What We Like
We were impressed with the quality feel of these gloves. Made from polyester/cotton fabric, the palm area is reinforced with durable leather, while there is a waterproof insulate to keep you protected in wet conditions. With a great range of sizes, these provide the perfect fit.
Autocastle gloves have incorporated their 3-level heating technology. You can choose between the first option which distributes 100% heat – perfect for preheating, 75% heat or 50% heat. There isn’t a part of our hands that the warmth doesn’t reach either; from above the wrists to the fingertips, the temperature is soothing and comfortable.
Touchscreen compatible, there’s no need to have cold hands again.
What Needs Improving
As you might have guessed, the highest heat level will also drain the battery within 4 – 5 hours. However, the lower settings still warmed our hands up nicely, and the battery lasted a lot longer too.
4) J Jinpei Heated Gloves
Overview
As we pulled these gloves on, they felt soft and supple, fitting … well, like a glove. Simple to operate and with enough heat to last for hours, these don’t disappoint. They’re also touchscreen compatible, waterproof and windproof.
What We Like
The combination of breathable lambskin material and thin, soft, lining make these gloves extra comfortable to wear. They charged up quickly and kept our hands toasty all day. That, along with the great price, and comfortable fit, put these at the top of our list. The battery lasts up to a respectable 6 hours on a single charge.
What Needs Improving
The only rather small niggle we have with these gloves is that the thumb was a little stiff when we first put them on, but it soon loosened up through increased use.
5) Aroma Season Heated Gloves
Overview
These gloves are immediately soft and wearable. Coming in a variety of colors, all made from durable material including a Hipora insert for breath-ability – they look stylish, are not too bulky and keep every inch of your hands pleasantly warm.
What We Like
These gloves feel extremely comfortable, and allow a good range of mobility. Great for arthritis sufferers, if you ache from the cold, or just want to feel cozy when the thermometer drops, these have a decent battery life, rapid recharging, and three temperature settings.
What Needs Improving
We found it wise to order a size up, but when we did they fitted perfectly.
