• Touchscreen compatible– yes
• Waterproofing– Goretex
• Insulation– Enduraloft

Summary

TheOutdoor Research Prevail GTX Heated Glovesmake a great set of gloves for the coldest of days. They are very warm to start with thanks to their Enduraloft insulation. They are waterproof and breathable using aGoretexlining. The heating power on these electric gloves is excellent. They get warm quickly on high heat setting. Battery duration is a very good with 3 hours on high and 5 hours on medium. One downside is that the gloves are a bit stiff due to the thick insulation and many seams.

We found that these gloves are very warm without the heat turned on. They are very heavy and stiff feeling. The stiffness does limit finger dexterity a lot compared to other gloves. They heat up fast on high setting on cold 20F days when the power is turned on. We could just barely feel any difference on the medium setting and could not feel any heat on the low setting. A 5 minute chair lift ride was usually enough to get my hands warm and I could turn off the heat for a while.

These gloves come with international power adapters for the charger for those who ski outside the US and Canada.

The heating controls are on the back of the wrist for people who like tucking gloves into their jacket. The heater produces enough heat to keep your hands warm. It doesn’t get as hot as some other gloves. With their very good insulation, it isn’t really needed.

• Heating element area– back of hands, thumbs, and fingers

Summary

TheSavior Heat Glovesare one of the most popular ski gloves on Amazon. They haveHIPORA waterproof membrane and a lambskin and polyester outer layer. High power battery life claims to be 2-2.5 hours and we got about 2.5 hours of run time when testing them. The gloves have construction similar to most $20-$50 ski gloves and have good enough insulation for use down to about 25F. Below that and my fingers started getting cold without heating. These gloves had the hottest feeling heating elements when tested at home.

The construction of these gloves is on the stiffer side and sizing runs small.

On the mountain on a 20F day we could not tell the difference between off and medium and low settings. We tested with a glove turned off and one turned on. With medium and low we couldn’t tell the difference. On high setting we could feel the heat around on our back of hands and a little bit on our fingers. To use these on a colder, under 20F, ski day you would need an extra set of batteries to be able to run them on high all the time.

6. Neberon Pro Heated Gloves

Specifications

• Battery Life Published– 2 hours high, 3 hours medium, 7.5 hours low
• Touchscreen compatible– yes
• Waterproofing– Yes, eVent fabric membrane

Summary

The Neberon Pro Heated Gloves have a 7.6 volt heating system with heating elements wrapped around the fingers to give them extra finger heat.

They have 3 levels of heat with an intelligent heat function. They turn on, on high power and automatically switch to medium after 10 minutes. We did not notice a huge difference in heating power or battery life between medium and high. Overall these had shorter battery life with high lasting under 3 hours.

They are available as gloves, mittens or 3 finger gloves. You can get them in a black and white design in addition to the standard all black that most heated gloves come in.

7. Okaso HG10 Heated Gloves

• Battery Life Published– 2-3 hour high, 6-8 hour low
• Battery Life Tested – 3.0 hours high, 4.5 hours medium, 5.8 hours low
• Touchscreen compatible– yes
• Waterproofing– Water repellant nylon
• Insulation– 141g Thinsulate and cotton insulation
• Heating element area– back of hands, thumbs, and fingers

Summary

The Okaso HG10 Heated Gloves are another popular heated glove on Amazon. They are one of the cheapest heated gloves available. They have an easy to use 1 button control to change settings. They use the same batteries and controls as the Venustas gloves but do not have the warm-up function that changes from high to medium after a few minutes. The heat settings are different than other gloves. They go High, Low, Medium instead of High, Medium, Low.

The base of these gloves is a $25-$40 set of ski gloves with thinsulate insulation and generic waterproofing. They are warm enough on their own for days in the 30’s and upper 20’s. We tried them out on a 20-25F day and was wishing for warmer gloves while the heat was off. With the heat on high power they warmed up quickly and did a good job of keeping my hands and fingers warm. On medium and low power I could not tell the difference between a glove that was turned on or off. We did several ski runs turning one glove off and leaving one on.

We got just over 3 hours using high power. If you plan to use these gloves on days below the mid 20’s I would get a second set of batteries. Use one for the morning and one for the afternoon.
