Keeping the fingers warm in freezing cold temperatures is one of the most expressed wishes by many folks out there in the cold.
Heated gloves or mittens would be great in this situation so we took a look around to see ‘if’ and ‘what’ is available. To our surprise there is a whole industry emerging around heated clothing.Out of the many options of jackets, trousers and even shoe soles with battery powered heat sources, gloves and mittens seem to me the most practical.
The best high quality heated gloves or mittens we could find are the Zanier Heat-GX ski gloves and mittens. The gloves can be found on the cozywinters.com website.
Their heated gloves and mittens have adjustable, processor-controlled heating and advanced power cell technology which can be regulated with 3 different settings.
The power pack weighs only 4 ounces and are integrated into a pocket, covered by an elastic band. The temperature in the glove stays constant for hours. The glove’s and mitten’s soft inside lining have compartments with heating elements for each finger.
A charge overnight keep the fingers warm for up to 13 hours with the level one setting.
The heating units are water resistant and can absorb shocks without breaking. If the weather turns warm you can detach the power packs and use them as regular gloves or mittens.
Level one gives 86ºF (30ºC), level two 98.6ºF (37ºC) and level three 131ºF (55ºC).
The offer includes 2 Power Packs with Impulse Control Technology. The charger which can be used in US at 110v and Europe at 230v charges both power packs at the same time.
Keeping your fingers warm is not cheap with a price tag of $ 507.

Well I have to say the Zaniers are a smart looking glove, we girls still want style 🙂
Where can I buy a replacement battery pack?
SAVE YOUR MONEY. I bought the first pair at xmas 2009 and used them for 4 months. Then after they malfunctioned (turning themselves on and draining the battery), they were replaced under warranty with a pair of Heat GX gloves at xmas 2010. They worked for about 3 months and then both gloves stopped working at about the same time. Although they had been used for only 3 months, the warranty had expired and so I was on my own. Having nothing to lose, I decided to take them apart to see what was wrong. I found that the heat tracing wire in one or more fingers in both gloves was broken. The broken wire was likely the result of metal fatigue from bending fingers.
