HEATED GLOVES
FROM 129,-
Quick answer: which heated gloves should you choose?
For daily use and commuting by bike, the universal Glovii is the starting point: thin, stretchy and up to 44 degrees Celsius. If you cycle or work in the rain a lot, choose the Glovii with waterproof cover. Prefer a sturdier model with a leather look for winter sports and long tours? Then the Øven by Gløde is the best choice. Always measure your hand circumference first; a well-fitting glove transfers the warmth best.
When do you choose heated gloves?
You choose heated gloves, also known as electric gloves, when cold hands hold you back outdoors: cycling to work, working outside, walking or on a winter sports holiday. Ordinary thick gloves only insulate; heated gloves add warmth of their own. That is why they stay thin and you keep the feeling in your fingers, even when you need to grab or operate something.
What should you look for when choosing?
The right size
Measure your hand circumference: the sizes run from XXS-XS (14-16 cm) to L-XL (19-21 cm). If you are on the edge of two sizes, choose the smaller one: a glove transfers its warmth best when it fits closely.
Material and use
The stretchy Glovii models (with elastane) are thin and suitable for almost any activity, indoors as well. The Øven by Gløde is made of sturdy polyester with a leather look, which makes it the best choice for intensive outdoor use and winter sports.
Waterproofing
If you cycle or work in wet weather a lot, choose the Glovii heated gloves with waterproof cover. This model comes in sizes S-M (16-19 cm) and L-XL (19-21 cm).
Cold hands rarely come alone: also have a look at the heated socks and the heated vests and body warmers to keep your whole body warm.
Tips for using heated gloves
- Measure your hand circumference before ordering; a snug fit gives the most warmth.
- Put the gloves on before your hands get cold: staying warm takes less energy than warming up.
- Start on the highest setting and step down once your hands are up to temperature; the battery will last longer.
- Wear the thin Glovii models indoors too if your hands get cold quickly; they are comfortable enough for that.
- Recharge the batteries after use, so they are ready for the next cold morning.
Frequently asked questions about heated gloves
- Are heated gloves suitable for cycling?
Yes. The gloves are thin and stretchy, so you keep a good feel of your handlebars and brakes. If you often cycle in the rain, choose the model with waterproof cover.
- Heated gloves or heated mittens?
In mittens your fingers sit together, which is warmer in itself, but you lose grip and feel. Heated gloves solve that: the warmth reaches every finger and your hands stay usable. That is why we stock gloves rather than mittens.
- How warm do heated gloves get?
The Glovii models reach a maximum setting of 44 degrees Celsius. The warmth is adjustable, so you choose your own balance between temperature and battery life.
- Which size heated gloves do I need?
Measure the circumference of your hand. The sizes run from 14-16 cm (XXS-XS) to 19-21 cm (L-XL). If you are in doubt between two sizes, choose the smaller one: a well-fitting glove warms best.
