Heated gloves are vital for some people; those who enjoy outdoor activities in winter such as hiking, camping, climbing, fishing, cycling, and so on. Just because it’s cold out doesn’t mean we should let winter stop us from enjoying ourselves.
Those who have Raynaud’s, arthritis, stiff joints, and bad circulation will also find these gloves extremely helpful.
In this rechargeable heated gloves review, I have put together a list of the six best heated gloves in 2021.
Some of these products have great features, but come at a price, whereas others can be quite basic.
Let’s dive right in, and find out which of these products is the perfect one for you.
Best Heated Gloves – Top 6
#1 Velazzio Thermo Heated Gloves
These battery powered gloves by Velazzio are made out of polyester and there are three sizes to choose from: Small, Medium, or L-XL. You can easily find which size is right for you using their guide. The gloves are great for snowboarding, skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing, snowmobiling, hunting, sledding, shoveling, riding a motorcycle, or doing any work outside. They’re also good for anyone who suffers from bad circulation, Raynaud’s, arthritis, or stiff joints.
Even in temperatures as low as –25, Velazzio’s gloves can provide immediate warmth.
Included with the gloves you get two high capacity 7.4v rechargeable batteries, a charger, an instruction manual, and the portable bag that everything comes in.
The batteries are small, only 6.7 x 4.4 x 1.8 cm, and they fit nicely inside the gloves’ waterproof battery pocket.
These gloves with heated fingers have many great features to them. To start off with, they have touchscreen fingertips so that you can easily use your phone while wearing these gloves. They also have a cuff drawstring, non-slip PU palms, locking clips, and adjustable wrist loops.
What’s more, is that you can adjust the heat settings. There are three modes: high, medium, and low.
The high setting heats between 120-140 degrees Fahrenheit and this mode consumes the most battery life (4 hours). The button is red when this mode is chosen.
Medium setting heats between 105-115 degrees Fahrenheit, the battery will last 6 hours, and this mode is blue.
Lastly, the low setting is green and heats at 90-100 degrees Fahrenheit and lasts 10 hours.
To use these gloves, you first need to connect each battery to a glove. To indicate that the battery has been connected, the button will flash red, blue, then green.
To power on or off, you need to hold the button for three seconds. The red light will flash, and the gloves’ power-saving design will have the gloves preheat for five minutes at full power, and then they automatically switch to the medium setting.
By pressing the button once, you can skip that mode and choose which setting you want.
Both the palm and fingers have built-in carbon fiber heating panels for maximum heat retention, and the 3M Thinsulate insulation also help these gloves stay very warm, while also maintaining dexterity and comfort. The gloves are also quite lightweight, and the batteries only weigh around 1.46lbs.
The gloves have a durable water repellent (DWR) outer shell, moisture wicking fleece lining, and Fan-Tex membrane which keep water out while still allowing vapor from sweat to escape.
They are a bit too pricey for some, but great quality always does come at a cost.
- Breathable
- Water resistant
- Great insulation
- 3 heat settings
- Touchscreen fingertips
- Pricey for some
#2 Savior Heated Gloves
The Savior heated gloves for women and men come in many sizes, from X-small to XXX-large. They are on the more costly side of the spectrum, but they are of high quality.
The outer layer is made out of 40% lambskin and 60% polyester, and it is breathable, waterproof, and wind resistant. The internal part is made of soft pearl cotton for excellent insulation, and then there’s a carbon fiber protective shell to protect your hands.
With the gloves, you get a pair of 2200mAh rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and the charger for them. The batteries should take about three hours to fully charge.
The gloves have reflective strips on them, providing some safety in the dark, and an adjustable buckle and pully string at the cuff for a perfect fit and so that the gloves stay snug.
There are three heat settings to this one as well: high, middle, and low. The high setting heats between 140-150 degrees Fahrenheit and the battery lasts 2-2.5 hours. The middle setting heats between 122-131 degrees Fahrenheit and lasts 3-4 hours, whereas the low setting heats between 100-113 degrees Fahrenheit and the battery can last from 4-5 hours.
This way, depending on how much warmth you need and how long you need to wear the gloves for, you can adjust the settings accordingly.
Whether you’re going cycling, hiking, camping, skiing, running, fishing, hunting, or you have bad circulation or arthritis, these gloves will keep your hands and fingers nice and toasty.
Once you’ve pressed the power button, it takes 30 seconds for the gloves to heat up. Even in sub-zero temperatures, you don’t have to worry about cold hands.
- 2.5 – 5 hours battery life

#3 Luwatt Heated Gloves
These very affordable heated gloves by Luwatt are perfect for every winter activity. Be it camping, hiking, cycling, fishing, skiing, etc, your hands will remain protected from the cold.
These unisex gloves are 5.5 inches wide and 12.3 inches long, only one size is available which fits most men and women.
Made with high quality materials, the outer layer has durable, windproof, and waterproof polyester, then there’s sponge, the heating element, insulating cotton, and finally soft velvet.
There’s a reflective strip on the gloves to provide some light in the dark, an adjustable buckle, and pully string at the cuffs so that you can adjust the gloves as needed, and the battery pocket. The gloves also have a touchscreen index finger, wear resistant and anti-skid PU coating, a convenient hook for glove storage, and an elastic band at the wrist for a snug fit.
The 3500mAh battery, certified by MSDS, can provide 8 hours of 104 degrees Fahrenheit, 6 hours at 122 degrees Fahrenheit, or 4 hours at 131 degrees Fahrenheit. These three heat modes can be controlled with the power button, and each battery takes 3 hours to fully recharge.

The reflective strips and padded palms make these gloves ideal to wear when cycling or riding a motorcycle. They also provide enough grip so that you can easily hold onto the throttle and twist it.
These gloves wouldn’t be good for freezing temperatures, as they don’t heat up enough for that. The maximum setting wouldn’t be enough to keep your hands warm in sub-zero conditions especially.

- Great for cycling
- One size
- Not for freezing temps
#4 Aroma Season Heated Gloves
The Aroma Season heated gloves for men and women are comfortable and completely warm your entire hand.
Three sizes are available; S/M, which is suitable for women, L-XL, and XXL-XXXL.
They have two 7.4V 3000mAh li-ion batteries that are powerful and long-lasting. The gloves also have 360 degrees surround, all-dimensional heating. The heating element covers the palm, back of the hand, and every finger to the tip – including the thumb.
Aroma Season tested a thousand hands and spent 2 years researching in order to create the perfect heated work gloves. They also offer a 12-month quality warranty on these gloves.
These gloves are comfortable, breathable, durable, and flexible. They are ideal for cycling, skiing, hiking, hunting, fishing, or even while you’re driving.
The index finger and thumb are touchscreen-friendly so that you can still use a smartphone, tablet, or car touch screen.
Included with the gloves are the two batteries and a charger. The batteries are already packed inside the gloves’ pocket when you receive them. You need to fully charge the batteries before you can use them, which is simple to do with the wall charger.
To turn the gloves on or off you need to hold the power button for a few seconds, and pressing the button changes the heating level. There are three heating levels: High, Medium, and Low. Each mode is represented by the color shown on the button: red, blue, and green.
The high setting heats at 104-113 degrees Fahrenheit, which can last for as long as 8-9 hours. The Medium setting is 113-122 degrees Fahrenheit, lasting 6-7 hours, and the low setting heats at 122-131 degrees Fahrenheit, which lasts 4-5 hours.
The gloves automatically stop heating after an hour for your safety. They are also waterproof, with the outer layer being made out of tarpaulin – a spill-resistant and waterproof cloth. There’s also a Hipora waterproof layer inside the gloves, and you can immerse the gloves into water without your hands or the heating element getting wet.
Despite this, it is still better to hand wash these heated gloves, just in case the heating element gets damaged from being in the washing machine.
The gloves also have small hooks at the wrists for easy storage.
- Waterproof

- Unisex
- 3 heat settings

#5 Autocastle Heated Gloves
One of the best heated work gloves are these ones by Autocastle. Available in the sizes Large and X-Large, they heat up quickly and are very affordable, compact, and comfortable.
Whether you have chronically cold hands and spend a long time out in the cold doing things like climbing, hiking, hunting, cycling, skiing, snowboarding, ice fishing, or whatever it is that you’re doing – the gloves will keep your palms, back of the hands, and most of your fingers warm.
There are four layers to these gloves; a waterproof coating, warm insulating cotton, an ultra-thin invisible heating chip, and reinforced PU leather on the palm. The better grip is great for doing things like climbing or cycling, and they are ideal for any outdoor activity because these gloves are moisture wicking.
Included with the gloves you get two batteries, a charger, a manual, and the box that it all comes in.
The gloves use rechargeable 7.4V 2200mAh li-ion batteries that have three modes. 100% heat is represented by the red light, this heats up at 140-150 degrees Fahrenheit and can last 2-2.5 hours long. Green is for 75% heat, which is 122-131 Fahrenheit, and lasts 3-4 hours. 50% heat is represented by a blue light, heating up at 100-113 degrees Fahrenheit and lasting 4-5 hours.
The batteries go into a pocket in the cuff of the gloves, and the heating element is at the back of your hand.
To switch the gloves on or off, all you need to do is simply hold the button down for a few seconds until the light comes on.
Before you can use the gloves though, you’ll need to charge the two batteries at the same time for 10-12 hours for the first time. When they are fully charged the light changes from red to green and they stop charging to protect the batteries from over-voltage. Every other time charging should only take about 4-5 hours.
In order to save battery life, you should set the gloves at the highest setting for the first 10 minutes or so, and then lower the setting as you see fit.
The gloves are touchscreen-friendly, on the thumb and index fingers.
What I don’t like is that only larger sizes are available, so anyone with petite hands can find something much more suitable for them.
- Affordable
- Moisture wicking
- Over-voltage protection
- Touchscreen-friendly
- Only large sizes
#6 Heat Warmer Heated Gloves
Another great example of some of the best heated gloves out there are by Heat Warmer. They only come in the sizes Large and X-Large though. For reference, the Large has a palm size of 4.3”, the palm circumference being 10.2”, the middle finger is 3.9”, and the whole size is 11.8”.
These gloves are great for people with Raynaud’s, arthritis, bad circulation, or stiff joints.
Don’t let the cold winter stop you from enjoying yourself and doing activities like hiking, camping, climbing, cycling, etc.
Included with the gloves you get the batteries, a dual wall charger, a manual, and the box that it all comes inside of.
The 7.4V/2200mAh li-polymer batteries provide three temperature settings, once they have been fully charged. There’s high, at 130-140 degrees Fahrenheit which lasts 2-3 hours, the middle level heats up at 113-122 degrees Fahrenheit for 3.5-4 hours. The lowest level heats at 104-110 degrees Fahrenheit for up to 5-6 hours.
The gloves have a soft cotton lining, a waterproof coating fabric, and breathable sponge lining. They are softer, lighter, more anti-slip, and breathable than ever before.
It’s important to wear heated gloves when you’re out and about in the cold because they can prevent your fingers from numbness, and protect your hands in the case of sudden shock from accidental collision.
They’re ergonomically bendable so that you can move your fingers freely, and so that you don’t have to worry about them getting in the way or holding you back while doing an activity.
There’s an adjustable buckle at the wrist so that you can ensure that the gloves stay snug, and they are touch-screen friendly on the tips of the index fingers and thumbs. There’s no need to stay removing your gloves every time you need to use a device.
Make sure to leave the batteries to fully charge before using them for the first time, and to turn the gloves on or off you must hold the button down. Simply press the button once to switch settings.
These gloves by Heat Warmer are very much like our previous product by Autocastle. They have very similar features, and the exact same issue – they only have larger sizes and anyone with smaller hands can find better options. However, these are also very affordable compared with the other products in this review.
- Affordable
- Touchscreen-friendly
- Adjustable buckle
- 3 heat settings
- Only large sizes
