These heated gloves were judged The Best by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute because they kept panelists' hands the warmest without sacrificing comfort. The Best Gloves' 7-watt rechargeable Li-ion battery produces a maximum temperature of 148.9º F, more than 50º higher than lesser gloves powered by alkaline batteries. Ranked highest for comfort, the gloves' ultra-thin stainless steel wires heat the full length of fingers and the back of the hand, unlike other gloves that created hot and cold spots. Panelists lauded the gloves' fleece interior as "very soft, with no feeling of the wires" as opposed to lesser gloves that felt bulky and stiff. Other superior features include Thinsulate insulation that helps retain heat, a breathable membrane that keeps hands dry, and a leather palm for a confident grip. An adjustable wrist enclosure and a zippered cuff seal out snow and cold. The 4-oz. battery pack slips into a pocket on the cuff and adjusts to four power levels with just a touch. Heats for two to 10 hours on a full charge from the AC charger depending on power setting. Black. Sizes S, M, L, and XL.

There's nothing worse than trying to operate your bike with cold, numb fingers. Bulky, unheated gloves make things even tougher by reducing feel, reaction time and complicating operation of the controls. Firstgear's Warm & Safe heated gloves for men and women feature heating throughout the entire glove, while maintaining the thinness of a summer glove. The gloves plug directly into the jacket liner, or an optional separate wire harness, allowing riders to adjust the temperature of the gloves independently of the jacket with a Dual Heat-troller™.
