Update - January 18, 2023We took a look at our top-10 list and decided to make some small adjustments to reflect recent changes in the market: we removed unreasonably expensive Volt Avalanche X and featured Snow Deer as the best choice for electric heated mittens

We selected 10 of the best electirc heated gloves available in 2023 and compared them by price, heating element, sizing and many other features. Remember when there was nothing you could do about those cold fingers on the mountain? You try to pull each finger into the palm of the glove in hopes of warming it up … but it is no use. You try breathing into the glove opening, which helps for a moment. But you’re out skiing, and already out of breath.

Or maybe you could just shove a few of those old air-activated heating packs in there. You know, the ones that can burn your skin if you’re not careful.

Today’s outdoor enthusiasts have the unique advantage of electric heated gloves, most of which utilize a rechargeable battery to provide electric heat to part or most of the glove interior. Furthermore, these gloves can actually be set to different temperature ranges, giving you even more control over on-mountain hand comfort. Before you rush out and buy your own pair, take a look at our guide to the 10 best heated gloves of the year, followed by an in-depth discussion of the state of glove technology.

SNOW DEER Heated MittensBest Electric Heated Mittens

Material Nylon / Polyester / Sheep leather
Heating element style Fiber far-infrared
Heat settings HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW
Battery time 2.5 HRS / 3.5 HRS / 5 HRS
Waterproof Yes
Best feature Great finger warming

If you are a fan of our gear reviews, then you might already know how big a fan I am of mittens over gloves. For one thing, having all your fingers in the same “chamber” is a great way to preserve heat in a part of the body that is perhaps most susceptible to frostbite.

In addition, having your fingers totally separated from one another is just strange, isn’t it? We think it could be better to have all your fingers together, the way they were meant to be.

But the SNOW DEER mittens are a step above the traditional mitten, because they feature a heating element that stretched from the back of the hand all the way over the tips of the fingers, which is significantly more coverage than most gloves can offer.

Because of the larger heating pad and the more insulating nature of the mitten over the glove, the Snow Deer mittens might be one of the warmest electric products that we have reviewed in 2023.

It is important to make a quick note that Snow Deer gloves and mittens tend to run quite small, so you might want to consider going a size up when you decide to pull the trigger on a new pair of heated gloves.

In case you don’t like mittens, Snow Deer offer more options with the same construction – unisex heated gloves as the mittens alternative, reinforced motorcycle gloves and cycling liners for related activities.

Pros
  • Mitten design is inherently warmer
  • More heated surface area than gloves
Cons
  • Lower battery life
  • Sizing runs quite small

QILOVE Winter WarmBest Touchscreen Compatibility

MATERIAL Polyester
HEATING ELEMENT STYLE Back hand panel
HEAT SETTINGS HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW
BATTERY TIME 4 HRS (high) / 3 HRS (medium) / 2 HRS (low)
WATERPROOF No
BEST FEATURE Touchscreen compatibility means not having to take off your glove in the cold

On the spectrum of electric heated gloves, the QILOVE Winter Gloves are on the high end of both weatherproofing and insulation, making them one of the more appropriate products for activities like downhill skiing or snowmobiling. Because of their think polyester construction, even without the heating they tend to operate as a remarkably warm glove.

The heating element is mounted on the back of the hand. This is not uncommon for heated gloves, as the electric heat panel usually needs to be mounted in a place where it will not suffer from constant bending and flexing. However, the top-mounted style is considered a drawback to many who want the heat directed on the inside of their hands as well as the fingers. The concept of course is for the heat from the panel to “trickle” outwards into the rest of the glove. Some models do this better than others. QUILOVE gets about a four out of five on this particular metric, however the efficiency of the battery is top-notch.

Despite many complains on how uncomfortable Qilove glove can be, we make sure that it isn’t really so. Every person has unique knuckle structure which means that any glove may feel too lose or tight in a certain area of your hand. However, the Qilove heated gloves available with adjustable straps which minimizes discomfort if adjusted right. You will also love the fleece lining and how soft they actually are.

Pros
  • Think construction for added warmth
  • Efficient battery / heating panel
Cons
  • Heat can take a while to reach the palm & fingers

SVPRO 7.4vBest Waterproof Heated Gloves

MATERIAL Thinsulate / Cotton / Reinforced leather
HEATING ELEMENT STYLE Fiber Infrared
HEAT SETTINGS RED / GREEN / BLUE (high / medium / low)
BATTERY TIME 2 HRS / 4 HRS / 6 HRS
WATERPROOF Yes
BEST FEATURE Reinforced leather palms offer great grip

There are a lot of back and forth debated about the different kinds of heating element styles that are used in battery heated gloves. We actually talk a little bit about the topic here, if you are interested at taking a peek. But one thing is for sure, the SVPRO Electric Gloves’ best feature is their threaded-wire style construction, which keeps the fingers far warmer than with a panel-style heating element.

In addition to the effective heating system, the SVPROs also utilize a double layer construction of cotton liner and waterproof Thinsulate shell to provide a seriously warm glove that doesn’t even need to be on to protect your palms from the harsh realities of a Colorado winter. But you’re going to want to have these things on as often as possible … the heat is as calming as it is warming.

Reinforced leather palm is a nice touch. It offers a bit of extra heft between the palm and a ski-pole, for example, and would provide excellent grip on a snowmobile. With the extra bulk that comes with an on-board heating system, it can be difficult for some companies to get the sizing right. Our experience is that SVPRO makes them a touch small, so be sure to check the sizing before you make a purchase.

Pros
  • Threaded wire-style construction keeps fingers warm
  • Sturdy 3-layer construction is built to last
Cons
  • Gloves can run a bit small
  • Wires can ‘migrate’ inside the glove over time

MOUNT TEC Unisex EXPLORER 4Best High Performance Electric Glove

MATERIAL Goatskin Leather & Riptech Nylon shell
HEATING ELEMENT STYLE Fiber Infrared
HEAT SETTINGS HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW
BATTERY TIME 4 HRS / 6 HRS / 8 HRS
WATERPROOF Yes
BEST FEATURE High-quality construction

Although they are perhaps more popular in Europe than they are in the United States, glove and gear producer MOUNT TEC have established themselves as a reputable and innovative designer of high performance cold-weather gloves. They make a few hats here and there, but one of the best things about buying a pair of gloves from someone like MOUNT TEC is that you would be buying from a company that has made gloves their entire mission.

Let’s make this clear: MOUNT TEC is succeeding at this mission. While some companies are satisfied by sewing a cheap heating panel into a cheap pair of gloves, Mount Tec is able to take the electric glove to the next level simply by utilizing the same precision-based production materials and techniques that are available anywhere. Sure, the result is a product that might be a few more bucks, but there is no doubt among our team that it would be money well-spent.

These gloves come pretty stiff right off the production line, but they will soften over time. They can be a bit coarse as well along the sides, which can be a pain for runny noses on the ski lift. The only other problem we noticed was that the warming action seemed overly centered in the palm area while the fingers struggled to keep warm for extended periods of time.

Pros
  • Very high quality European construction
  • Great weatherproofing
Cons
  • Bulky and stiff
  • Finger warmers can have a hard time keeping up in cold temperatures

SAVIOR Heated Gloves with Li-ion BatteryBest Heated Gloves for Motorcycling

MATERIAL Polyester & Leather
HEATING ELEMENT STYLE Back hand mounted panel
HEAT SETTINGS HIGH / MIDDLE / LOW
BATTERY TIME 2 HRS / 3 HRS / 4.5 HRS
WATERPROOF No
BEST FEATURE Easy access temperature control button

There is not much that can be found about the SAVIOR, the company behind this pair of electric heated gloves. Sometimes, lack of company information can be an indication that the product you are receiving might be of a lower quality, so it can be helpful to do some research beforehand. Fortunately, that’s exactly what we’re here to do.

The first thing that stands out about the Savior Gloves is that they are some degree thinner than the other heated gloves on this review. This makes them a bit more suited to activities like cycling and motorcycling when it helps to have a little more finger dexterity in order to operate the vehicle.

But the real reason we’re all here is to talk about electric heating. And how to the Savior gloves stack up? Well they’re panel-style, and this one is located on the back of the hand like it was with the QILOVE Winter Warm Gloves. This also means that the fingers don’t get all the heat they deserve. Overall the heating capability of this glove feels somewhat reduced, but as we said, the thinner style makes them ideal for certain applications.

Pros
  • Thinner glove means more dexterity
  • Snug, comfortable fit
Cons
  • Lacking customer service
  • Fingers not super well-heated

RABBITROOM Heated Gloves with Li-ion BatteryBest Heated Glove for Fishing

MATERIAL Cotton / Polyester
HEATING ELEMENT STYLE Carbon Fiber Infrared Panel
HEAT SETTINGS HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW
BATTERY TIME 2 HRS / 3 HRS / 4 HRS
WATERPROOF Yes
BEST FEATURE Excellent waterproofing

The reason that we are recommending RABBITROOM’s signature product as the best electric glove for ice fishing is that it offers a higher degree of finger dexterity than most heated gloves with an excellent waterproofing that is simply unmatched in the industry. The last thing that you want when you’re out ice fishing is to get your gloves wet, and this is a handy way to avoid that problem altogether.

The heating panel is adequate … certainly a lot warmer than a non-heated glove, but if we are being honest, Rabbitroom is known more for their affordable entry-level warming products than they are for high-quality heating performance or construction quality. This isn’t to say that they’re a bad pair of gloves. On the contrary, for the price they are the perfect glove for a number of activities, and we wouldn’t mind having a pair of these in the car for early-morning driving when the steering wheel is too cold. The fingers on the Rabbitroom gloves just lose their heat too quickly. Perhaps this is an insulation issue? Or it could certainly be the stitching, which in our opinion was not of the best quality.

Pros
  • Affordable high-performance glove
  • Waterproofing is unmatched
Cons
  • Poor finger heating
  • Medium-quality stitching

ElvesHome Heated GlovesBest Overall Value Pick

MATERIAL lining 80% Cotton 20% Sponge
HEATING ELEMENT STYLE Fiber Infrared Back-hand Panel
HEAT SETTINGS HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW
BATTERY TIME 2 HRS / 3 HRS / 4 HRS
WATERPROOF Yes
BEST FEATURE Good breathability

If you are looking for a high-value heated glove, the ElvesHome Heated Gloves is a clear frontrunner. With a long-lasting charge delivered by a Li-polymer 6000 mAh, these gloves offer a user-friendly design with three power modes: high, medium and low temperature.

This is one of the reasons ElvesHome’s innovative gloves offer high value with varied temperature options suited to both indoor and outdoor use. High-quality waterproof polyester makes these gloves ideal for use throughout the winter.

For indoor use, the touchscreen function means it’s unnecessary to take the gloves off to use technology. Our team also found the anti-slip silicone surface stands up well, avoiding dropping your phone or keys in rain or snow and providing an invaluable addition for use throughout the winter period.

The comfortable fit and adjustable temperature settings mean that these gloves offer a natural choice for improved comfort for anyone suffering from arthritis, Raynaud’s or joint stiffness. Improving circulation without restricting movement makes the ElvesHome Heated Gloves an invaluable addition in the colder months.

The sturdy build quality means these gloves can be worn for sports use, with a waterproof pocket keeping the battery secure throughout. Despite the sturdy, resilient exterior, these gloves include a welcome velvet coating inside insulated with four layers of material.

Whilst some alternative options may rank higher on overall heat, especially in the fingers, the value for money offered by ElvesHome’s gloves is where this pick really excels. Features such as the telescopic locks on the cuffs and USB charging functionality round out a very useable heated glove.

Pros
  • Touchscreen functionality means the gloves are just as useful indoors and outdoors
  • High quality for the price point
  • Adjustable temperatures rounds out a versatile design
Cons
  • The fingers don’t reach the temperature of some alternatives

Outdoor Research Lucent Heated Sensor MittsTop of the Line Performance Pick

MATERIAL 100% Nylon Shell / Goat Leather Palm / 100% Polyester Insulation
HEATING ELEMENT STYLE Fiber Infrared
HEAT SETTINGS HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW
BATTERY TIME 4 HRS / 5 HRS / 6 HRS
WATERPROOF Yes
BEST FEATURE Highly trusted outdoor company

From a performance standpoint, Outdoor Research’s Lucent Heated Sensor Mitts offer several key advantages. Heated gloves can make a big difference in winter sports, and choosing the right pair helps to ensure you have all the necessary features available.

Our team focussed on a number of factors when choosing the best option for performance. Charge time, durability, build quality and range of motion were all key factors. Outdoor Research’s Lucent Heated Sensor Mitts excelled in almost all of these areas.

Manufactured with Gore-Tex technology, these gloves are wind-resistant, waterproof and resilient to a wide range of weather conditions making them ideally suited to winter sports. A spare pair of batteries may be necessary as the batteries typically last 3-4 hours on full power.

This does not detract from the overall benefits of these gloves, however, as the design upgrades integrate efficient stitching, durable leather and reliable fabrics to offer an improved product. The heat circulation is also highly effective, reaching a consistent temperature throughout the glove to the fingertips.

Initially introduced in 2014, the latest iteration of the Lucent Heated Sensor Mitts was released five years later, building on the success of the initial model. A popular product among skiers, the latest version of these heated gloves now includes touchscreen compatibility. Removing the need to remove gloves for phone use can make a real difference in sub-zero temperatures.

The temperature settings are also more visible now, adding to the user-friendly design. EnduraLoftâ insulation builds on 5 years offering market-leading heated gloves in this updated take on a well-established design.

Pros
  • Comfortable fit for extended sports use in cold weather
  • Touchsreen-compatible design
  • Gore-Tex technology ensures long-lasting durability
Cons
  • An extra battery pack may be necessary for all-day skiing

Venture Heat Heated GlovesWarmest Fingers on an Electric Glove

MATERIAL 3M Thinsulate insulation, Nylon, Polyester
HEATING ELEMENT STYLE Ultra-thin micro-alloy panels
HEAT SETTINGS HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW
BATTERY TIME 3 HRS / 4 HRS / 5 HRS
WATERPROOF Yes
BEST FEATURE Heating panels along fingertips

We selected Venture Heat’s innovative heated gloves as the best option when it comes to finger temperature. ADDHeat technology using ultralightweight alloy fibre ensures that the glove heats efficiently throughout the fingers, an area where some heated gloves struggle to offer consistency.

Whether you require heated gloves to be worn indoors or outside, this product offers a lightweight, unrestrictive design that is comfortable even when worn over prolonged periods. For outdoor use, adding the glove liner provides an additional layer of protection in cold weather.

It may be necessary to buy additional batteries for these gloves for use throughout the whole day. With three temperature settings, the batteries will last 5 hours on low, 3 hours on medium and around 1 and a half hours on high. This is a fairly typical range for most heated gloves on the market.

The adjustable cuffs are a useful addition allowing users to tailor the fit to their requirements. A common complaint with many heated gloves is that they heat inconsistently throughout. This can often lead to more use of higher power settings to overcome this design inefficiency. The consistent heat provided by Venture’s heated gloves removes the need for this, facilitating energy-efficient use.

Whilst these gloves are often favoured for sports use, the consistent temperature offered throughout the lining means they are well-designed for those suffering from arthritis, joint stiffness or Raynaud’s. Although multiple battery packs may be required, the user-friendly compact design is ideally suited to wear throughout the day.

Pros
  • Consistent temperature throughout the glove
  • Carbon fibre material ensures a light-weight, unrestrictive design
  • Versatile temperature options
Cons
  • It may require additional battery packs for more prolonged use

SUN WILL Rechargeable Heated LinersBest Electric Heated Glove Liners

MATERIAL Lycra
HEATING ELEMENT STYLE Fiber Infrared
HEAT SETTINGS HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW
BATTERY TIME 2 HRS / 3 HRS / 4 HRS
WATERPROOF No
BEST FEATURE Thin enough to use beneath a large pair of gloves

Thus far on our list we have not yet encountered a glove that we could credibly classify as a liner, but this heated glove from SUN WILL is certainly that, and it manages to perform the duties of the role just splendidly. These gloves are thin enough for everyday activities as well like taking the dog around the block on a chilly autumn morning, or taking a jog at the end of the day.

One use for heated gloves that we have not touched on so far is their ability to alleviate certain symptoms of Raynaud’s Syndrome & Arthritis. In fact, anyone looking to improve blood circulation or relieve stiff joints would be wise to consider bringing a heated glove into the mix.

One of the drawbacks of being such a comparatively lightweight and compact glove is that the battery pack is smaller than most others, which of course means that you are looking at a reduced battery life. That might be the tradeoff, however. Fortunately if you recharge them every night you can get at least a few good hours of heat per day.

Pros
  • Thin & lightweight ‘liner’ style glove
  • Quite warm for the battery size
Cons
  • Small battery pack means reduced run time
  • Not waterproof or windproof

Summing it all Up: The Best Electric Heated Glove of 2023

A lot of consideration goes into our review guides, from the initial product inspections to the thoughtful considerations that happen further down the line, the ones where we realize where the product’s true strengths lie, and it is often times in a place that it totally unexpected.

The VENTURE ALT heated glove totally took us unaware, as we had no idea that people were developing that kind of multi-panel technology. The end result is a glove that sends much more heat to the fingers, which is where every one of us really wants it.

However the SUN WILL HEATED LINERS we some of the most comfortable things that we have ever pulled over our knuckles, and something certainly must be said about their overall value in terms of warmth vs. affordability.

Choosing the Right Pair of Heated Electric Gloves

As you could no doubt tell from thumbing through our top ten review, there are more than a few different styles of electric heated glove available on today’s market. Choosing the right pair for you shouldn’t have to be a hassle. Here are a few things to look for:

Rechargeable Batteries

The large majority of heated gloves utilize a rechargeable electric battery for operation. Most of these are 7.5V, which is large enough to provide a few hours of heat, but small enough to be housed inside the glove itself without being too bulky or heavy.

electric glove battery

Extra batteries are something that you might want to consider if you want to use these for an entire day on the slopes. However, some gloves’ batteries are easier to change than others.

Outer Shell / Weatherproofing

electric gloves in the snow

There is a huge discrepancy between the best and the worst electric heating gloves out there in terms of how well they can hold up to water and wind. By and large the gloves on our list were designed for winter sports, where snow is the chief concern. Because snow is relatively dry (for water) the gloves do not need to offer any high levels of waterproofing, as windproofing can often times be more important.

Sizing

It seems that no two companies can agree on a standard sizing model for gloves, so an extra step is required in order to make sure that you are getting the best fit. Online glove sizing charts can be helpful in some circumstances, however it is best to check if the manufacturer has released a sizing chart that is specific to their brand.

sizing table

Heating Element Styles

There are two main styles of heating element when it comes to electric gloves and electric socks:

  • PANEL STYLE, which features a single metal panel inside a specially designed compartment. When electric current is sent into the panel, it is transformed into heat which then radiates outward to warm other parts of the hand, like the fingers.

Some panel style gloves are experimenting with Multi-Panel Construction, which is a promising way to increase finger warmth exponentially.

  • INFRARED FIBER STYLE, which utilizes a long strand of infrared fiber coal that is woven throughout the glove, sometimes through the finger area and sometimes not. The benefit of these internal heating wires is that heat can be more evenly dispersed to the full hand, as opposed to having to wait for a panel-style heating element to produce enough heat to trickle out to the fingers.

Touchscreen Compatibility

One of the principal drawbacks of the touchscreen revolution was that there was no way to use the technology when wearing any kind of glove, so thick was the material and so sensitive the screen. “Touchscreen compatibility” as it relates to gloves is all about a small pad on either the index finger, thumb finger, or both, that is made of microfiber and designed to simulate the texture of human skin. This way, it becomes possible to use the touchscreen without taking off your glove.

Frequently Asked Questions

q: Do they have a heat source that goes into the fingers?
a:

Although it would be nice, not all of the electric heated gloves on our review feature heating elements that extend fully into the finger cavity of the glove. There are varying reasons for this, from cost effectiveness to simple aesthetic design style.

If you are looking for a heated glove with great finger warming, check out the VENTURE ALT ELECTRIC GLOVES, which feature ultra-thin micro-paneling all the way into the fingers.

q: How long to recharge the batteries?
a:

There are a few exceptions with heated gloves, but for the most part these batteries are about 7.5V, which should take in the neighborhood of 5 to 6 hours to charge fully.

q: Are they machine washable?
a:

Most of the gloves that we looked at are not machine washable.

It is important to remember that there are sensitive electronic elements stitched inside of the glove. When these elements are exposed to drastic temperatures and full submersion for extended periods of time, they can be damaged irreparably.

Most companies suggest that you clean the exterior of your gloves with a hard nylon bristle brush with a light dilution of soap and water. This way, the internal components can be protected.

q: Are they safe?
a:

Yes. Electric heated gloves are totally safe for use. They are designed in such a way that there is no fire risk, and the electronic load of the battery is small enough that it would not cause significant harm to a human.

q: Do they have a waterproof breathable membrane? Gore-tex?
a:

A good number of these gloves have waterproof shells, however many of the companies are using that word rather lightly. When any of these gloves are exposed to full submersion in water they will most certainly be soaked within minutes. However when it comes to skiing and snowboarding apparel and gear, “waterproof” has a bit of a looser definition.

q: Can I charge these in Europe on 200V?
a:

You would need to find the proper power adaptor in order to get these to charge in Europe, however if you did that then it should charge just fine.

q: Are they touchscreen capable?
a:

Several of the gloves we looked at here have touchscreen capability, which is simply a microfiber pad sewn into the index finger and sometimes thumb that allows one to operate a smartphone screen. The QILOVE Winter Warm Electric Gloves are a good example of a high-performance touchscreen capable glove.
