Are heated gloves better than hand warmers?

For keeping fingers warm, yes. Hand warmers heat one spot; heated gloves heat every finger and are reusable.

Can I put hand warmers inside HeatGrip?

There's no need. HeatGrip has its own built-in heating, which reaches further and is adjustable.

How warm do they get?

In our thermal test, a hand in HeatGrip read 32.7°C after 20 minutes in the cold, compared with 14.2°C in a wool glove.

Are they cheaper than disposable warmers over time?

Yes. You recharge them for pennies instead of buying new packs.

What should I look for in reusable hand warmer gloves?

Check heating coverage, battery arrangement, fit, weather limits and the returns policy. Match the glove to the task and any protection requirements.

How long does the battery last?

Low runs longest, but exact hours are not known. Ask us before ordering if a specific runtime matters.

Can I use the gloves in heavy rain?

The shell is water-resistant, not waterproof. Do not submerge them; choose waterproof protection for prolonged wet conditions.

How do I wash rechargeable heated gloves?

Remove the batteries, hand-wash the gloves and air dry fully before using them again.

What if the one-size fit is not right?

HeatGrip suits palm widths of 18–24 cm. The 90-day money-back guarantee includes a free return label.

Quick answer

HeatGrip is a rechargeable heated glove for reusable hand warmer gloves. Carbon-fibre heat loops run along the back of the hand and every finger to the tip, warming in about 8 seconds. Choose low, medium or high with one button. Each cuff holds a rechargeable battery; the shell is water-resistant, not waterproof.

Hand warmers vs heated gloves

Disposable hand warmers and pocket warmers create a hot spot in one place, usually the palm. Your fingers, which are what actually go numb, stay cold. They also cost money every time, and you can't control the temperature. Heated gloves spread warmth along each finger and let you choose the level.

Gloves with heat warmers inside

Some gloves have a pocket for a heat pack. It's a step up, but you're still buying packs, waiting for them to warm up and putting up with one hot spot. HeatGrip's carbon-fibre loops are built in, heat up in about 8 seconds and cover the whole hand.

Rechargeable, so no more buying packs

Each glove has a slim rechargeable battery in a zipped cuff pocket. Charge both from any USB plug or laptop with the cable in the box. The low setting runs longest; high gives the most heat. Over a winter, that's far cheaper than a box of disposable warmers every few weeks.

Mittens with hand warmers?

Mittens keep fingers together for warmth but make it hard to do anything. HeatGrip gives you mitten-level warmth with full finger movement and touchscreen tips. See our guide to heated mittens vs gloves.

Choosing reusable hand warmer gloves

When comparing reusable hand warmer gloves, begin with where and how long you expect to wear them. A glove for a short walk has different demands from one used through a full outdoor shift. Consider whether warmth needs to reach each fingertip, whether you need to operate a phone, and whether your activity calls for specialist protection. HeatGrip uses carbon-fibre heat loops along the back of the hand and every finger to the tip, rather than relying only on insulation. It warms in about 8 seconds and has low, medium and high settings controlled by one button on the back of the hand. These are product features, not a promise that every wearer will feel the same result. Your own comfort, the surrounding temperature and the way the glove fits all matter. Compare the actual features with your routine before deciding, and choose a different product if you need a capability HeatGrip does not offer.

What fingertip heating changes

Heating coverage matters because cold fingers can remain uncomfortable even when the palm feels warm. HeatGrip’s carbon-fibre loops run along the back of the hand and each finger to the tip. A thermal test recorded fingertip temperature of 32.7°C with HeatGrip and 14.2°C with an ordinary glove; this is a specific test comparison, not a guarantee of the temperature you will experience. The gloves warm in about 8 seconds, so you can switch them on before heading out. There are three settings: low, medium and high. The single button is on the back of the hand. Use the level that feels comfortable for your circumstances, rather than assuming the highest setting is needed. If you have reduced sensation or a health concern relating to warmth, ask a health professional for advice and check your skin regularly.

Battery use and realistic expectations

Each glove has its own slim rechargeable battery in a zipped pocket in the cuff. A pair includes two batteries and a USB cable, and you can charge from a USB plug or laptop. Low runs longest, but exact battery hours are unknown: ask us if runtime is important for your plans. Actual use can vary with setting and conditions, so avoid relying on a precise duration that has not been confirmed. Build charging into your routine and check the batteries before leaving. The gloves are wireless once charged; they do not need to remain connected to a power source while worn. Keep batteries dry and remove them before washing. If a battery is damaged, do not use it. For any particular charging concern, follow the supplied product instructions and use a suitable USB source.

Fit, dexterity and everyday tasks

HeatGrip is one size fits most, for palm widths from 18 to 24 cm. Measure across the palm at the knuckles and consider whether you can comfortably move your fingers once the gloves are on. Each cuff has an adjustable hook-and-loop strap, while a textured palm supports an everyday hold. Touchscreen material is on the thumb and index tips, useful for basic phone interaction without removing the glove. These features do not guarantee a perfect fit or precise control for every activity. If you need a close fit for specialised tools, sports or safety tasks, check suitability carefully. A 90-day money-back guarantee with a free return label gives you an option if the fit is not right. Use the gloves only for tasks where their ordinary winter-glove design is appropriate.

Weather limits and activity choices

The shell is water-resistant, which is different from waterproof. It may be suitable for light exposure, but do not submerge the gloves or assume they will keep hands dry in prolonged heavy rain, wet snow or immersion. If your plans involve persistent wet conditions, choose a waterproof outer glove or another product specifically designed for that use. Likewise, particular activities can have protection requirements beyond warmth. HeatGrip is not certified PPE and is not CE motorcycle protective gear. It is not a medical device. Check workplace rules, activity guidance and clinician advice as relevant. Choosing honestly means recognising what a product does not promise as well as what it does: heating coverage, settings and rechargeable batteries are specified, but specialist safety protection and medical outcomes are not.

Care, returns and buying with confidence

To clean HeatGrip, remove both batteries first, hand-wash the gloves and leave them to air dry. Do not put batteries back until the gloves are fully dry. The purchase includes a 90-day money-back guarantee with a free return label. Orders are dispatched within 24 hours on working days, with tracked UK delivery estimated at 2–5 working days; delivery is UK only. Prices are £89 for one pair, £159 for two pairs (£79.50 each), or £219 for three (£73 each). Optional secure delivery and lifetime warranty are £4.95. Checkout is through Shopify. These practical details can help you compare the whole purchase, not just the headline price. Our own thermal test and the 90-day guarantee mean you can try them with no risk.
