Are heated ski gloves worth it?

If you suffer with cold hands on lifts, yes. They make a long day far more comfortable.

Are HeatGrip gloves fully waterproof?

They're water-resistant. For very wet snow, wear a waterproof over-mitt on top.

Can I take the batteries on a plane?

Small lithium batteries are usually allowed in hand luggage. Check your airline's rules before you fly.

Do they work for snowboarding?

Yes, the same advice applies: great for cold lifts, and pair them with a waterproof outer layer in deep snow.

Are heated gloves worth it for skiing?

They may suit cold, drier resort days and lift rides, but consider waterproofing and protection needs.

Can I wear HeatGrip in wet snow?

The shell is water-resistant, not waterproof. Choose proper waterproof gloves for prolonged wet conditions.

How long does the battery last on the slopes?

Exact hours are unknown; low runs longest. Ask us if runtime is important.

Are these certified ski gloves?

No. They are not certified protective equipment.

Can I use my phone wearing them?

The thumb and index tips are touchscreen-friendly. Stop somewhere safe before using your phone.

Quick answer

HeatGrip heated gloves can add warmth for cold days on the slopes and around a ski resort. Their carbon-fibre heat loops run along the back of the hand and every finger to the tip, warming in about 8 seconds. They have three settings, rechargeable cuff batteries and a water-resistant shell, but are not waterproof ski gloves.

Why skiers' hands get cold

Sitting still on a lift in the wind at altitude, with damp gloves from the last run, is the perfect recipe for numb fingers. Heated gloves keep circulation comfortable even when you're not moving.

Where HeatGrip fits on a ski trip

HeatGrip is a water-resistant heated winter glove. It's ideal for cold lift rides, lighter ski days, walking around the resort, sledging and après-ski. For deep powder and long wet days, wear it as a warm liner layer under a waterproof over-mitt, or choose a fully waterproof ski glove.

Three heat levels

Run low on milder days and turn it up on the coldest lifts. Our thermal test showed 32.7°C inside HeatGrip vs 14.2°C inside a wool glove after 20 minutes.

Battery in the cold

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. Cold reduces battery run time, so start on low and keep the spare charge for the afternoon.

Heated ski gloves for cold days

A cold chairlift, a pause between runs or time spent outdoors at a resort can leave hands uncomfortable. HeatGrip adds active warmth through carbon-fibre loops running along the back of the hand and every finger to the tip. The gloves warm in about 8 seconds, and one button on the back of the hand selects among three settings. Each glove carries its own rechargeable battery in a zipped cuff pocket. These features may suit cold, relatively dry conditions and resort use, but HeatGrip is not a specialist waterproof ski glove. Consider your usual conditions, activity and need for protective equipment before choosing it. The gloves are water-resistant, not waterproof, and should not be treated as a certified ski safety product.

Are HeatGrip gloves waterproof for skiing?

No. The shell is water-resistant and can cope with some moisture, but it is not waterproof. Wet snow, prolonged exposure and deep powder can exceed what a water-resistant glove is intended for. Ski conditions vary, so choose proper waterproof protection when your plans involve persistent snow or wet weather. Some people may consider wearing suitable outer protection, but check that any combination fits safely and does not restrict movement or access to controls. The battery is stored in a zipped cuff pocket; keep the glove and battery care guidance in mind, and do not immerse the product. If the glove becomes wet, remove the batteries before hand-washing and let the gloves dry before reuse.

Battery warmth on a ski trip

A pair includes two rechargeable batteries and a USB cable. Charge from a USB plug or laptop before your day out. Each battery sits in a cuff pocket, so the gloves do not need a cable running to a lift, vehicle or power source while worn. Low setting runs longest, but exact battery hours are not known; ask us if you need to plan for a particular duration. Cold conditions and setting choice can affect practical use, so avoid relying on a runtime we have not specified. The gloves warm in about 8 seconds, but this is not a promise about all-day operation. Use the button to choose one of three settings and recharge after use.

Fit and dexterity around the resort

HeatGrip is one size fits most for palms measuring 18 to 24 cm, with an adjustable Velcro cuff. Check the palm measurement before ordering and make sure the glove allows comfortable movement for your plans. The textured palm is useful when holding everyday items, while touchscreen thumb and index tips can help when using a compatible device. Do not handle a phone while skiing; stop in a safe place first. The gloves are not certified ski or motorcycle protective equipment and should not be relied on for impact or abrasion protection. Think of them as heated winter gloves, not a replacement for purpose-designed, certified equipment needed for a particular sport.

What to pack and what to expect

For a winter trip, charge both batteries ahead of time, pack the USB cable and consider the weather you expect. HeatGrip includes two batteries and a cable with every pair. The three settings let you adjust warmth, though the low setting runs longest and no exact runtime is available. The water-resistant shell is not waterproof, so a separate suitable glove may be a better choice for wet snow or demanding mountain conditions. One pair costs £89, reduced from £178; two pairs are £159 (£79.50 each), and three are £219 (£73 each). Optional secure delivery and lifetime warranty are £4.95. UK tracked delivery is 2 to 5 working days, with dispatch within 24 hours on working days; UK only.
