If you’re having a tough time deciding which gloves are right for you then you should take my Glove Selection Quiz. It’s an 8 question quiz that will help you choose the right heated gloves for your needs.
The Best Battery Heated Gloves
I’ve tested and reviewed a lot of different heated gloves and I always make sure to put them through some tough tests to really see how they fare.
The biggest concern that most people have when it comes to heated gloves is the battery life. There are a lot of online reviews complaining about the disappointing battery life.
Fortunately technology has come a long way and you can expect to get up to 6 hours of heat time for a good quality pair of gloves. Some more.
I’ve compiled a list of the battery heated gloves that I consider to be the best on the market in no specific order. Here you go.
Outdoor research Lucent
Best Place To Buy: Amazon
This is one of my all time favorite pairs of gloves and if you’re looking for the pair of gloves that really seems to do it all then these are the ones for you.
I always rate my gloves based on 5 categories. Comfort, warmth, water resistance, quality and battery life.
The Lucents performed extremely well in all 5 categories getting an overall score of 96/100.
I shouldn’t of been surprised that these gloves performed so well given that OR is one of the top names in outdoor gear and happens to be one of my favorite brands when it comes to jackets. 
What impresses me the most is the fact that they make a heated glove that is able to compete with companies that specialize in heated gloves like Gerbing, Venture and Volt.
Not only compete with them but even out do them in some ways.
Features
- ALTIHeat™ Battery-Powered Heat Technology with Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery
- Customizable Hi / Med / Low Heat Settings
- Durable
- Waterproof
- Windproof
- Wicking
- Quick Drying
- Leather Palm Overlays
- Molded EVA Foam Knuckles
- Soft and Tactile Leather Palm
- Elasticized Wrist
- Locking Zippered Compartment for Batteries
- Removable Leash
- Pull Loop
- Glove Clip
- Carrying Case Included
You might think that a carrying case is unnecessary but don’t forget that heated gloves come with a charger and a cord.
This carrying case is actually a nice way to keep it all together and organised.
Here’s the breakdown of how they rated.
| Category | Score |
|---|---|
| Comfort | 19/20 |
| Warmth | 20/20 |
| Water Resistance | 19/20 |
| Quality | 20/20 |
| Battery | 18/20 |
| Overall Score | 96/100 |
So as you can see they rated really well but you might be wondering why I only gave them an 18/20 for the battery.
I have really high standards when it comes to the battery life of heated gloves. I’m always happy enough if I can get 4 hours of heat time out of my gloves but in all honesty I always want more.
It would be great if a glove could work for 12 hours straight but no glove has been able to do that yet. When it does, I’ll give it a 20/20 without hesitation.
These gloves actually did very well, lasting for 8 hours on the low heat setting. They have three settings which are easy to change without having to remove the gloves. Here’s the results I got from the battery.
High – 2.5 hours of heat
Medium – 4 hours of heat
Low – 8 hours of heat
If you want all the little details about these gloves you can read my full review of them here.
Since this list is only an overview of the best gloves on the market, I won’t be getting super specific but you can always refer to my complete reviews for more in depth information.
Venture Epic 2.0
Best Place To Buy: Amazon
Venture is one of the top names in heated gloves and apparel. Maybe even the top name so it’s not a surprise that the Epic 2.0 makes my “Best Of” list.
Head over to my complete review of these gloves to get all the specs and details.
This pair does fit a little bit small so if you’re unsure or maybe you’re between sizes you should choose a size up.
They’re made mostly of nylon but the palm is all leather which makes them extremely comfortable and durable.
The inside is lined with polyester for a nice soft touch on your hand with 3M insulation to keep the heat in and the cold out.
Between the nylon and the 3M insulation there’s the Venture patented Dintex membrane which is totally waterproof but also breathable so your hands will stay dry in any condition.
You might find them slightly bulky but I think you’ll find that it’s worth it because on those extremely cold days they won’t have any trouble keeping your hands nice and warm.
Each glove comes equipped with a Lithium-Ion 7V 1800 mAh battery which gets decent heat time.
There are three heat settings and although the heat time was okay, I didn’t get as good of results as I did with the Outdoor Research Lucents. Here’s my results.
High Heat – 2 Hours
Med Heat – 3.5 hours
Low Heat – 5.5 hours
That might not look all that great especially when compared to the Lucents but I have to say that the Epic 2.0 did get hotter than the Lucents.
So although they didn’t last as long, they were extremely hot and I found that the low setting was plenty of heat.
Here’s my ratings.
| Category | Score |
|---|---|
| Comfort | 18/20 |
| Warmth | 20/20 |
| Water Resistance | 20/20 |
| Quality | 17/20 |
| Battery | 17/20 |
| Overall Score | 92/100 |
The reason I gave them a 17/20 in the quality category is because I notice some of the stitching was starting to wear after some use. Not that big of deal but I had to reflect that on the rating.
From my experience Venture is very high quality so maybe my results were just a one off but regardless I had to mention it.
Volt Heat 7V Tatra
Best Place To Buy: Amazon
Anytime you think of the big names in the heated gloves industry Volt is always at the forefront.
They’ve been making heated gloves for as long as anybody and they have it pretty dialed in at this point.
These Volt Heat 7V Tatra gloves live up to the expectation and then some.
The exterior is polyester with a leather palm for maximum comfort and durability.
They did extremely well in the water resistance testing thanks to their Aquatex membrane that much like the Venture gloves they are waterproof and breathable.
No moisture at all got through the gloves but I did notice that the leather palm would absorb some water after a little bit of time.
This isn’t the end of the world because your hand stays dry but when the leather absorbs water they start to feel a little heavy and soggy which I could do without.
Each glove comes equipped with a 7.4V 2200mAh battery and there are 4 settings you can choose from.
Most heated gloves only have three settings so this is quite a nice luxury to be able to choose from 4 instead.
The down side is that it’s only a 7.4 volt battery so spreading out that heat among 4 settings doesn’t necessarily work all that well.
I mean it works fine, it’s just that there isn’t a whole lot of difference between the low and medium setting.
100% High – 2 Hours
75% Med/High – 3 hours
50% Med – 5 hours
25% Low – 8 Hours
I was really happy about the fact that it lasted 8 hours on the low setting but I would have been happier if the high setting lasted longer than 2 hours. That’s why they got a slightly lower score in this category.
The battery itself is nice and small so it’s not very noticeable and it’s very easy to access with the little zipper on the back of the hand.
All in all I think these are a great option. I gave the OR Lucents a higher rating but I still think that these Volt gloves would be just what you’re looking for and for a lot less money than the OR.
Here’s my full ratings.
| Category | Score |
|---|---|
| Comfort | 18/20 |
| Warmth | 18/20 |
| Water Resistance | 19/20 |
| Quality | 16/20 |
| Battery | 14/20 |
| Overall Score | 85/100 |
One thing I should mention is that the battery takes a little longer to charge than some of the other gloves in this article.
I found that I pretty much had to leave it charging overnight to get a full charge. I’m not sure if this is common with this particular pair of gloves or if mine were a one off.
Anyways that’s the only reason I docked some points in the battery category.
Volt 7.4 Heated Work Gloves
Best Place To Buy: Amazon
These heated work gloves are pretty much the same as the Tatra Volt Heat 7V except for a few changes in terms of durability.
The battery is the same, the interior liner and the fit are exactly the same but that’s pretty much where the similarities end.
Since these gloves are built for heavy duty working conditions they are much more durable than any other heated gloves I’ve tested.
They are mostly covered in leather and even extra layers of leather in the high impact areas like the palm.
This is great for durability but can be a negative factor in terms of dexterity.
They are slightly stiffer than the regular Volt Tatra’s and slightly bulkier but that’s to be expected since they used extra material to make them stand up to working conditions.
As for the warmth these gloves are pretty much the same as the regular Tatra’s in terms of the battery power.
The fact that there is extra material to make them more durable actually makes the hold the heat a little better too since there’s that much more insulation. So warmth is no issue.
They also have the same 4 settings as the regular Tatra’s which is awesome.
They tested really well except in really wet conditions they absorbed a little bit of water due to the extra leather. It’s no surprise as we all know leather tends to absorb more water than nylon.
This isn’t the end of the world since they have a waterproof membrane so none of the water actually gets through to the hand but it does cause the gloves to feel soggy and slightly heavier than normal.
Here’s how they rated.
| Category | Score |
|---|---|
| Comfort | 17/20 |
| Warmth | 19/20 |
| Water Resistance | 18/20 |
| Quality | 19/20 |
| Battery | 15/20 |
| Overall Score | 88/100 |
I know it seems odd that these gloves got a higher rating in the battery category but those are just the results of our testing.
They lasted just a little longer than the regular Tatra’s. I’m guessing that this is due to the extra bit of material which provided more insulation which meant that they would hold the heat longer and the battery didn’t have to work as hard.
All in all, they are a great heated glove and an awesome way to keep your hands warm on those long, cold days on the job.
Gerbing Core Heat S2
Best Place To Buy: Amazon
Gerbing is a highly regarded name in the heated apparel industry specializing in not only heated gloves but also in other types of heated clothing like vests, jackets, pants and insoles.
One thing to be sure of when you buy any Gerbing product is that the quality and reliability will be top notch.
You can be sure that they’ll work as advertised and if they don’t you’ll have no problems with exchange or refunds.
This particular pair of gloves was made with skiing and snowboarding in mind because they’re built with an ergonomic design that will do well in all weather conditions.
They are relatively sleek as compared to some other heated gloves so they actually have really good dexterity.
The exterior is made of nylon and the palm is covered in leather.
The heat is distributed nicely throughout the entire hand including the palm, the back of the hand, along each finger and the thumb.
I wouldn’t say that these are meant for extremely cold days as the highest heat setting isn’t exactly scorching but for most winter days it’s more than sufficient.
I guess sometimes you have to sacrifice a little bit of warmth for dexterity and comfort. But don’t worry, they are till way warmer than any non-heated glove you can buy.
Another thing I really liked about these gloves is that they aren’t too expensive. Sure they’re not a cheap as buying a non-heated glove but you can’t really make that comparison.
They are cheaper than the OR Lucents but a little more than the Volt Tatra.
I just thought that they were a very reasonable price for what you get.
I found that they performed really well in wet conditions and kept my hands completely dry.
The quality of them seemed up to Gerbing’s standards as far as I could see. The stitching seemed tight and they felt strong. I have’t read any negative reviews regarding the quality or durability of them so that’s a good sign.
They fit just a little bit small so you would probably be wise to buy the size up if you aren’t sure. Have a look at our sizing guide if you are still unsure.
Here’s my ratings.
| Category | Score |
|---|---|
| Comfort | 17/20 |
| Warmth | 17/20 |
| Water Resistance | 18/20 |
| Quality | 16/20 |
| Battery | 15/20 |
| Overall Score | 83/100 |
So all in all these are a good pair of gloves that you will be very happy with. The value is great and the brand is something you can feel good about knowing they are high quality.
Ivation Heated Gloves
Best Place To Buy: Amazon
With so many heated gloves selling for over $100 and some closer to $300 this pair of Ivation heated gloves are a very reasonable price at under $60.
You will have a hard time finder heated gloves cheaper than these ones and if you do, they won’t be very good.
I consider these to be pretty much as little as you can spend while still getting a decent glove. So for the budget shoppers out there, this is the pair for you.
One big difference with these gloves is the size of the battery. Each glove has a 3.7V battery which is small when compared to most that have at least a 7V in each glove.
Basically what that means is that they won’t heat up as much and the battery won’t last as long.
For some applications that is totally fine and they will still do the job it just depends on your use.
Fortunately they still have 3 settings and they actually heat up pretty fast.
They also have pretty good insulation so they keep your hands warm even without the heat and when the heat is on they hold it in pretty well.
The heat elements are only on the back of the hand with these gloves which isn’t great in my opinion.
They probably did this to save money but I really like having that heat on the palm.
With that being said there are some people who don’t like the heat elements on the palm because they complain that you can feel the wires when you grab something like a ski pole or a snowmobile grip.
The exterior is made mostly of nylon which actually does a pretty good job of keeping the hands dry. They don’t have any waterproof membrane so eventually moisture will get through if the conditions are really wet.
The battery did alright getting 2.5 hours of heat on the highest setting. That’s pretty good although the heat wasn’t nearly as hot as some of the other pairs I’ve reviewed.
Here’s my total ratings.
| Category | Score |
|---|---|
| Comfort | 16/20 |
| Warmth | 15/20 |
| Water Resistance | 15/20 |
| Quality | 15/20 |
| Battery | 15/20 |
| Overall Score | 76/100 |
So you can’t expect these gloves to compare with my favorite pairs but for the price you will be getting a pretty good value.
I know there are a lot of people who want to try out heated gloves without having to break the bank and this would be a good place to start.
Final Thoughts
These are all really great pairs of heated gloves that I’ve hand picked and personally tried myself. With that being said things do change and there are always new and exciting products being introduced into the market.
See also my article on the Best Heated Slippers and the Best Heated Socks and Best Ski Gloves.
Since I published this article I’ve already tried and tested some new gloves that could easily have made it onto this list.

I am a woman with small hands so size matters a lot for me. Also I preferably want to make sure that the tips of the fingers are heated. Can you please let me know which glove will be best for me?
If you’re looking for something that is small and low profile you should have a look at this pair because they’re low profile and they also are very reasonably priced. But if you want something extremely low profile you should look at these liners instead.
Thanks,
Robert
Thank you! I had the same exact question.
Dexterity is very important. I’m a refrigeration mechanic need a pair of heated gloves so I can do my work. I have arthritis in my fingers and I need a pair of heated gloves that I can pick up a dime with. Are close to that. Thanks for your help Charley
Thanks for the question Charley. If you need extreme dexterity then you will be better off going with a liner instead of a full glove. There really aren’t any full on gloves that would give you enough dexterity to pick up a dime. Liners on the other hand might be able to. Have a look at these liners and see what you think. You would then have to wear them under your regular work gloves. Good luck.
Robert
Hope you can help I have white finger syndrome and have quite long fingers can you suggest a pair of motorbike gloves for dry days but need the heat
Hey John,
Thanks for the question. That must be extremely difficult trying to keep your hands warm. I’m sorry to hear that but don’t worry because there are some great heated gloves out there that will remedy it for you. Since you’re just looking for a dry weather glove I would recommend going with a pair of Gerbing heated glove liners. The reason I would suggest these for you is because they are extremely warm, reliable and versatile. You can wear them on their own or under another pair because they’re pretty low profile.
Hope that helps.
Robert
I am looking for a good thing heated glove liner for my husband to wear under his regular work gloves (he is a landscaper)that he can also use when mountain biking. He has large hands… What do you recommend? Not wanting to spend $$$$$ hoping to stay around $130 or under??
Erica,
Personally I really like the Venture liners and they seem to be just what you’re looking for. Here’s a post I wrote highlighting the Best Heated Glove Liners. This should be helpful to you because I’ve listed a whole bunch here. Hope that helps.
Robert
Robert,
Do the Volts, Gerbring and OR gloves reviewed in this article have heating elements going to the tips of all four fingers and the thumb? It would be helpful to share the location of heating elements in future reviews.
Thanks!
The Volt gloves provide heat to the front and back of the hand, including the entire length of each finger and thumb. The Gerbing and OR gloves only use heating elements on the back of the hand and the entire length of each finger including the thumb. Some people prefer heating elements on the front of the hand but others say that the elements reduce the comfort of the glove especially if you’ll be holding on to things like ski poles or what have you. That is personal opinion and I can’t tell you which you would prefer. Best of luck to you.
Robert
I am looking for a pair of heated gloves, very warm and reasonably priced for my father who is undergoing chemotherapy. I can’t afford the ones that are in the hundreds of dollars range, but wanted to find something to help him with the peripheral neuropathy. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the question. For that I would recommend a pair of liners. They will provide great warmth and they are cheaper than the regular insulated gloves. Then you can always put a pair of regular gloves over top of them for extra insulation. Here is an article I wrote that highlights a few great pairs. Even one pair as low as $32.99.
Best of luck to you and your Father.
Robert
Thank you so much for your kind and helpful reply.
All the best,
Jenn
You’re very welcome. I’m glad I could help.

I have Raynaud’s Disease and suffer from white finger syndrome. My fingers go completely numb and it is very uncomfortable. I am a cyclist and this time of year is a nightmare for me. I am looking for a pair of gloves that heat to the tips of the fingers, are not too bulky and are fairly flexible. I don’t mind paying a bit extra for the right product. What would you recommend for me.
Hey Pat,
Sorry to hear about your Raynaud’s. That is not fun at all. For cyclists you’ll want your gloves to be very thin….or at least not bulky. Most heated gloves aren’t too bulky and you can get away with using them for cycling but it depends on how thin you want them or how picky you are.
One suggestion I would make is for you to try a pair of heated liners. My favorite pair of liners is the Venture Heat liners. They’re super thin and they pump out a lot of heat which would be great for cycling. They’re also windproof too. For those extremely cold days you could just add another pair of gloves over top to give that extra insulation.
That is my best suggestion. But if you think a small amount of bulk would be OK then I would steer you towards the Hestra Heater gloves because they are not only warm but also waterproof and windproof. They are the Cadillac of heated gloves.
Hope that helps,
Robert
Thanks Robert for your prompt reply. It is very helpful. I will go with your suggestion of Hestra Heater gloves. Will let you know how I get on.
Again, thanks for your help.
Regards.
Pat
Awesome. You’re very welcome and I’m glad I could help.
Did you test Fly Racing Ignitor Pro? seems like it would be right in there with the warmth, battery life and style/comfort. Just wondering if you tried those or not.
Thanks
I’m sorry I haven’t tested those ones yet but I’ll definitely put them on my list. Thanks for the idea.
Thanks, according to Volt’s website they heat on the both sides on the hands (not just top) and down all fingers including the thumb. Did you feel that? it seems like Volt might be the only one that heats on both sides of the hand, is this true? It seems like most companies just heat the top of the hand and not the bottom.
Thanks
Yes the Volt gloves are one of the few companies that heat both sides of the hand. It’s a very nice feature but it does tend to drain the battery faster.
Robert
Thanks again for your help, a tough call to make!!
No problem. Yes it’s a tough call but they are all good gloves so you will be happy either way.
Robert
Hi, I live in the UK and I’m looking for some woman’s heated gloves that can either be powered/recharged via usb or that take a tiny battery (not one of those bulky square ones). I’d also like the tips to work with touch screens, not be made of leather and cost a max of £40…
Are there any that fit my criteria at all please? I’ve looked and there’s so many out there but as yet I haven’t found any..
There is a really nice pair of Savior heated gloves that are unisex and they should fit all of this criteria. The battery isn’t super small but it is smaller than most. They are a pretty low profile glove and yes they are touchscreen compatible. You can read about them here.

What heated gloves would you recommend for motorcycle riding
when cold and/or wet conditions?
Whats your opinion about Hestra heated gloves?
Thanks!
I like a lot of different motorcycle gloves but one of the most well rounded pairs of gloves for riding in cold/wet conditions would be the Joe Rocket Burner gloves. They are waterproof as well as heated for extra warmth. They’re also priced really reasonably. But You can’t go wrong with pretty much any pair of Gerbing or VentureHeat gloves either. Stick to any of those brands and you’ll be happy.
Dear Robert,
Thank you for your reviews of heated motorcycling products. I’ve read many of them and benefitted from your advice on several occasions. I switched motorcycles recently and have a very low amount of Excess Electrical Capacity on my battery. So now I need to look for a heated *motorcycle* glove that does *not* connect to my motorcycle battery. Unfortunately, it appears as though the battery-heated gloves in the above review lack protective features, like plastic protection on the knuckles and palm pads, that are customary in other motorcycle gloves. I know from another review you did that plastic protection on the knuckles and palm pads appear as features on many heated gloves that you plug directly into the motorcycle battery.
Can you please recommend some heated motorcycle gloves with those features that I do not need to plug into my motorcycle battery? I’m willing to spend a lot of money to get a pair like this but, after hours of fruitless search online, reading lots of equivocal and some untrustworthy reviews on amazon, I think I need your help to find them.
Thanks again. Every best wish,
Ryan
Ryan,
Thanks for the question. WHat you’re asking for isn’t all that common but I think as time goes by this will become way more popular. I call this a hybrid glove because it can be worn as a motorcycle glove as well as a regular glove when you’re not on a bike.
The gloves I would steer you towards would be the VentureHeat Hybrid Cruiser gloves. They are awesome gloves and Venture is a well known name brand that you can trust. Best of luck to you.
Robert
Robert,
First, thank you for all your research and helpful advise. I’m looking to get a pair of heated gloves for my wife while she is out at the barn. They can’t be large because she needs to be able to handle sinches and knots of different kinds. She’s not tuff but is fairly delicate and the gloves need to heat the front and back. I did look at the Volt brand you recommended to others but I really think they may be too bulky. What would you recommend?
Hi Randy,
Thanks for the question and for the kind words. If bulk is a major concern of yours then I would direct you towards the Savior Heated Gloves. They’re pretty low profile and have less bulk then the Volt gloves. There is one other option and that would be to try some heated glove liners. The liners are much thinner and they’re designed to be worn under another pair of gloves. A lot of people wear them underneath work gloves which works really well. My favorite liners are these Ventureheat liners.
I hope that helps. Best of luck to you.
Robert
Hey Robert,
So many things I have read on these liners indicate we need to be exact on size. For the wife, it is small. I’ve been trying to find the Ventureheat BX-16923 liners in small but that size seems to be unavailable everywhere. Do you have another source or suggestion?
Randy,
Ya I’ve noticed that the small in that model seems to be sold out everywhere. That is a little frustrating and I’m hoping they re-stock soon. If you can’t wait for a re-stock I can recommend a few other good pairs of liners that would be comparable. Have a look at these.
– Mobile Warming Liners
– Ski Signature Polartec Liner
– Action Heat 5V Liner
Those three are all good quality from reputable companies. I hope you get what you need.
Cheers,
Robert
Savior Heated Gloves with Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Heated for Men and Women, Warm Gloves for Cycling Motorcycle Hiking Skiing Mountaineering, Works up to 2.5-6 Hours
Thanks Paul
Hi Robert,
Like you, I have Raynaud’s disease and whenever my fingers get cold they turn white and will not warm back up until I run hot water over them. As you know, this is a problem if I am outdoors and not near a place where there is hot running water. After reading many of your reviews I thought I would reach out to get your input on heated gloves that are somewhat affordable. I’m looking for a good heated glove that heats both sides of my hand and around each finger and thumb. In addition, I would like the gloves to be somewhat flexible and comfortable, and not have a battery that is bulky and gets in the way, but still has good battery life, and are waterproof and windproof. Are there any gloves that you could recommend that are in the $150-$250 range that would fit these criteria? If it is easier to hop on a quick call to review options, let me know and I’ll shoot you a call. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Regards, Jeff
Jeff,
Thanks for the question. There are a lot of heated gloves on the market that will do everything you’re asking except most of them are over your price range. Fortunately there is one really great pair of heated gloves that will still be within your budget and still do everything you need. The Volt Maxima is what I would recommend for you. In fact, any heated gloves by Volt would suit your needs, just depends on which ones you like best. Good luck.
Robert
You reviews were helpful, but you did not mention excessive weight of batteries. This can be a consideration.
Sharon,
You’re probably right I should have mentioned that. The batteries do have some weight to them although I certainly wouldn’t describe it as excessive. Most people are not bothered by the weight of them.
Robert
Hello Robert
Thank you so much for this article! I am a woman with Raynauds and small hands looking for gloves suitable for a full day of skiing. Ideally not mittens! I would like the heat to go down to each finger and thumb. What would you suggest please?
Ceri,
You would be fine with all of the gloves on my most current article showcasing the top 10 heated gloves but if you’re looking for a more specific recommendation I would steer you towards the Volt Maxima because they’re quite reasonably priced compared to some of the other heated gloves on the market and they do provide heat to the tips of all fingers and thumb. But if money isn’t a problem for you then you should go for the Zanier Heat GTX because they will do everything the Volt gloves do except they give you better dexterity and a little more comfort. As for warmth they’re both incredibly warm.
Cheers,
Robert
Robert.
I tested a pair of Volt Alpine x 7v gloves today and I can not express enough how disappointed I was. There was almost no heat on the fingers, and I stared freezing on the fingertips on the second chairlift ride. Just a warning to other readers to stay away from Volt.
Tom,
That is really too bad. I have always had good luck with Volt so maybe you got a faulty pair. I would recommend you return them and let them know what happened. They will take good care of you.
Cheers,
Robert
Hi Robert,
Your article is very good and enlightening for someone who has never bought any heated gloves. I also have Raynaud’s and it is very bothersome the later the hunting goes the more trouble I have. I saved your article so I could refer back to it for future reference. I am sure you had a link about some heated gloves in camouflage but for the life of me I cannot find it. Could you provide the link and also give me a quick and dirty from 1-10 about the quality of the gloves. Thank you.
I enjoyed reading your reviews. I’m looking to replace/upgrade my aging Cabela’s gloves. I would be using them for hunting, so the one with fat fingers won’t work well. Having the ability to swap in new batteries on those days when I need msx heat would be a plus.
