How to Pick the Right Heated Gloves

Type

The first thing to consider when you’re picking out your potential new pair of heated gloves is what kind of gloves you prefer. Generally, there are three variations of heated gloves on the market: separate-finger gloves, glove liners, and mittens. All three options have their purposes, so no one is better than the other, but separate-finger gloves, like the Mrawarm Rechargeable Heated Gloves, are generally the standard option available because they provide padded warmth and allow you more use and control of your fingers than mittens.

Mittens are generally warmer than separate-finger gloves because the warmth of your fingers grouped together generates more heat than if each finger is separate, according to Amy Cramer, Mountain Safety Team member at Eldora Ski Mountain. Our favorite heated mittens are the Snow Deer Heated Mittens. This makes them a great option for those who are particularly considered with finger warmth, but they also allow for less movement and control than the other two options. Heated liners, on the other hand, are thinner and offer less warmth than either standard gloves or mittens, but allow for the most hand movement, making them a great choice for outdoor activities where you’d need maximum control of your hand, or as an extra layer of warmth under a bigger pair of gloves or mittens.

Waterproofing

According to Cramer, it’s important to look at the level of waterproofing that a pair of gloves will provide before you commit. If you’re planning on wearing your heated gloves in super snowy or rainy conditions, then you may want to consider getting fully waterproof gloves, like the Aroma Season Heated Gloves. But, if you’re not anticipating being outside for extended periods during wet weather, then you can get away with a water-resistant glove choice.

Sizing

Not all heated gloves are available in multiple sizes, so if you consider your hands to be larger or smaller than the average hand, you should consider opting for a pair of gloves that comes in a wide range of sizes. Generally, the gloves will keep your hands the warmest if they fit snuggly yet comfortably so that you have the most contact with the heater units. But, if you like to layer gloves for extra warmth, you may want to choose a size or two larger than your usual size so that you can fit a liner underneath the gloves.
