ActionHeat Heated Gloves: Nothing blew us away about these gloves. And considering they take AA batteries in a world of rechargeable batteries, we couldn’t put these on our best overall list.

Made of polyester with down-alternative insulation, these heated gloves felt soft, stretchy, and flexible. And the thermal design didn't make our hands sweaty. They come in sizes small through extra-large and are conveniently adjustable at the wrists. Though the outer shells are a bit bulky, we appreciate that you can wear the liners separately. Not only that, but both components are touch-screen compatible, so you can text, call, and take selfies without taking off your gloves. After regularly using these gloves for two months, we found them to be the most touchscreen-compatible gloves we've ever worn and are stretchy and snug in all the right places. What’s better than one pair of gloves? Two pairs of gloves. That’s what you get with Ororo’s Twin Cities 3-in-1 Heated Gloves. The gloves come with a bulky outer pair and a soft, thin liner. You can wear the liner on warmer days, the outer gloves when you need a bit more warmth and weather protection, or both the liner and the outer gloves on the most frigid days. Battery life - As a general rule, the higher the temperature, the shorter the battery life will be. If you want something that will last all day long, some heated gloves can offer a battery life of nine to twelve hours when used at a low temperature.How long do they take to charge? - The majority of heated gloves (with the exception of those using hand warmers) need significant charging before use. The duration can vary from one brand to the next, but charging time tends to be between four and eight hours.

We’ve recently spent alot of time with heated clothing made by Ororo, a US design house. In our view they seem to recognize that the clothes have to function well firstly as clothes and that the heating element is an add-on to that rather than the primary feature. These are clothes which happen to heat, rather than a heating element with some material hung around it.

Best heated gloves UK: at a glance Ororo claims these gloves reach 140 degrees and can last up to eight hours on one battery charge (on the lowest setting). They feature a water-resistant outer and a water-resistant membrane on the liners. We also love the 3M Thinsulate insulation underneath the outer shell.We don’t recommend liners for skiing or snowboarding (unless you have an outer glove to put over them), but these are a good option for dry activities like hiking, running, or cycling. Made with luxurious goatskin leather, these highly elastic and comfortable heated gloves are incredibly well insulated, made with breathable water-resistant fabrics and a double layer of Thinsulate to hold in the generated heat.
