Are heated gloves good for cycling?

Yes, especially for winter commuting, where numb fingers make braking harder.

Can I use them on a mountain bike?

Yes, for cold-weather rides. They're winter gloves rather than padded MTB gloves.

They're water-resistant, so fine in showers and drizzle. They aren't designed for prolonged heavy rain.

Can I use my phone while riding?

The fingertips are touchscreen-friendly, but please only use your phone when you've stopped safely.

Can I use heated gloves for cycling?

Yes, for cold-weather commuting and leisure rides if you can operate your controls confidently. Check fit and control before setting off.

Are they waterproof for cycling?

No. The shell is water-resistant, not waterproof, so they are not intended for prolonged heavy rain.

How long does the battery last?

The low setting runs longest, but exact hours are unknown. Ask us if you need a runtime estimate.

Can I use a phone while wearing them?

Touchscreen thumb and index tips are provided. Stop safely before using a phone.

Do the gloves need connecting to the bike?

No. Each glove has its own rechargeable battery in a zipped cuff pocket.

Quick answer

HeatGrip heated cycling gloves are rechargeable gloves for cold-weather commuting and leisure rides. Carbon-fibre heat loops run along the back of each hand and every finger to the tip, warming in about 8 seconds. Choose from three settings with one button. The palms are textured for grip, and the shell is water-resistant, not waterproof.

Why cyclists get cold hands

Your hands sit out front in the wind with little movement to generate heat. At 15 mph, a 5°C morning feels close to freezing on exposed skin. Even good winter cycling gloves only slow the heat loss. A heated glove replaces it.

Grip and control

A textured palm keeps a secure hold on the bars and the levers, and the velcro cuff seals out the wind at the wrist. The batteries sit in the cuff, so the fingers stay slim enough for brakes and gears.

Commute-friendly

Touchscreen fingertips let you check directions or pay for a coffee at the lights. The water-resistant shell handles typical British drizzle.

Battery for the ride

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. For longer rides, start on low and turn it up when you need it.

Heated gloves for cycling in cold weather

Cold air reaches hands directly on handlebars, and fingers can feel uncomfortable during a winter commute or a leisurely ride. Ordinary gloves provide insulation, but they do not actively add warmth. HeatGrip uses carbon-fibre loops along the back of the hand and every finger to the tip. The gloves warm in about 8 seconds, and a button on the back of each hand selects one of three settings. Start on low and adjust when needed. The gloves are not a substitute for safe riding habits or suitable visibility and protective equipment. Choose gloves that let you hold your bars and operate your controls confidently before setting off. If the fit or feel is not right, do not ride in them.

Grip and control on the handlebars

A textured palm is designed to give a more secure-feeling contact with handlebars, while the slim rechargeable battery sits in a zipped pocket in each cuff rather than in the palm. That placement keeps the palm surface available for gripping. Fit is still personal: check that you can comfortably reach your brake levers, change gear and release your grip when required. HeatGrip is one size fits most, for palms measuring 18 to 24 cm, and has an adjustable Velcro cuff. Try them at home before a ride. Touchscreen thumb and index tips can be useful when stopped to check a route or answer a message; stop somewhere safe before using a phone, and never interact with it while moving.

Are heated cycling gloves waterproof?

HeatGrip has a water-resistant shell, which can help with light showers and drizzle, but it is not waterproof. It should not be presented as a glove for prolonged heavy rain or saturated conditions. Wet gloves can become uncomfortable, so consider your route, forecast and usual kit before choosing them. For longer rides in persistent rain, use purpose-made waterproof outer protection if compatible, or choose a glove designed for that weather. The zipped cuff pocket holds the battery, and the cuff can be adjusted to sit comfortably with your clothing. Avoid assuming that water resistance means the batteries or glove can be immersed. Remove both batteries before hand-washing the gloves, and let the gloves dry fully before putting the batteries back.

Battery-powered warmth without bike wiring

Each glove has a slim rechargeable battery in its zipped cuff pocket. Two batteries and a USB cable are included with a pair, and you can charge from a USB plug or laptop. There is no need to connect the gloves to a bicycle power system. Three settings let you choose the warmth level; the low setting runs longest, but the exact running hours are not specified, so ask us if runtime matters for your planned journey. Cold conditions and your chosen setting affect how you use the gloves, so do not plan a long ride on an unverified runtime. Charge before you leave and check that both batteries are seated properly. The gloves warm in about 8 seconds after switching on.

Choosing size, price and delivery

Measure across the palm to check the stated 18 to 24 cm fit range. HeatGrip is one size fits most rather than a choice of multiple sizes, and its Velcro cuff helps adjust the wrist opening. One pair costs £89, reduced from £178; two pairs cost £159 (£79.50 each), and three cost £219 (£73 each). Optional secure delivery and lifetime warranty are £4.95. Orders are dispatched within 24 hours on working days, with tracked UK delivery estimated at 2 to 5 working days; delivery is UK only. Checkout is through secure Shopify checkout. A 90-day money-back guarantee includes a free return label, so you can assess fit at home before deciding.
