I have Reynaud’s syndrome and these heated gloves really helped keep my fingers from hurting. They aren’t super warm, but the battery life lasts for a whole ski day. That being said- I had these gloves for a year and the heating element on one glove stopped working- it would light up but not get warm. They were used maybe 20 days. I contacted Hestra and while they are supposedly honoring the 2 year warranty, they can’t get me a new glove until the fall because they are out of my size. That’s 8 months away! They declined to give me a credit to buy the same glove via a 3rd party.

I've had these gloves a few years now and have overall been satisfied with their performance, but I don't know if I would recommend them due to the high cost. I use them for skiing and shoveling snow. The battery life is adequate for an average day of skiing. I'm normally out for about five hours and I've only had one situation when a battery became fully depleted before I was done skiing. My ski pole straps have managed to turn the gloves off by operating the switch on several occasions. I do spend a lot of time in the trees and I'm a pretty aggressive skier. The batteries do take several hours to charge after they're fully or mostly depleted. I will normally plug them in as soon as I get back to wherever I'm staying and they will not fully charge until just before I go to bed. The biggest negative for me is the ill designed battery pouch is just too small and relies on a very small strip of velcro to keep the pouch closed during use. The batteries just barely fit into the pouch creating pressure against the very small strip of velcro. The pouch opens MOST of the time, but as long as you have the gauntlet cuff drawcords pulled tight the batteries will remain inside the glove. The gloves are definitely well made and very durable. Again, I'm just not sure they're worth the high price. I mainly just didn't want to buy something from China. My hands have never gotten cold.

Got these for my wife as an Xmas present. She has notoriously cold hands (Raynaud’s syndrome.) We then went for a post-Xmas ski trip in VT where it was pretty darn cold for the first few days (~10 degrees in the morning). At setting 1, she didn’t feel any warmth but her fingers didn’t get cold or go numb. At some point, turned them up to 2, and said that her fingers were nice and toasty. Didn’t even have to try setting 3. Batteries ended up dying in the afternoon, but we were done by that point anyway. And she also said that, even without the heat, the gloves were nice, warm and comfortable. Next few days were similar to except that it was a bit warmer, and she didn’t have to turn them up.She handles the cold really poorly. These may be a game changer for her. Given the cost, really hope that they last for a while.

I have two teenage daughters whose hands get cold when skiing and they end up going in early. They would use the iron/chemical packets as best they could but with mixed results. After some searching and reading the various reviews (both good and bad) for several electrically heated hand mittens, I decided to go with the Hestra Power Heater Mitt. The girls used them for a week of skiing. Temps were in the morning 5 deg F to a high in the afternoon of 18 to 25 deg F. In the morning they would use level 2 (medium) heat setting (occasionally they had them on level 3 for a ride up the chair) and the afternoon would bump it down to level 1 (lowest). I asked everyday at various times what they thought. Both had warm hands everyday all day long. They never ran the battery out during the day on those two settings. We took an hour break at lunch and on a couple of days they plugged the mittens in and other days they forgot. The batteries seemed to last even without charging at lunch. We did give them a good charge every night. The mittens are made from real leather and well made. The few complaints they had were that the zipper which lets you easily get the mitten on your hand (it is also the zipper for the battery pouch) is hard to zip up once you have the mitten on your hand. They would always ask me to help zip them up. Also these mittens are like any other glove or mitten, it gets moist inside after several days of use. We would prop them open to dry out overnight.Before I purchased, I read negative reviews about the batteries only lasting 2.5 hours and not all day. In the instructions with the mittens it says that on the level 3 setting you can only expect the batteries to last 2.5 hours. We never tested the level 3 continuously so I can't review that part. But just know that if you need high heat all the time you will probably need to purchase extra battery packs and have them charged and in your pocket and ready at the 2.5 hour mark. I don't think this is a negative, just setting the expectation of battery life.These gloves are expensive and I know it is not an easy decision. But I am satisfied with the purchase and my daughters are very happy as well. I would buy these mittens again.

I ski in December every year and no matter the temperature, my fingers and thumbs get cold. My husband and I decided to make an investment (which was quite substantial) in these mitts and we are very happy so far. It was well below zero while we were skiing and these mitts kept our fingers warm. The charging is easy to do and the gloves are very comfortable. If they were less expensive, it would be even better but I still think that they are worth the investment because they enabled me to ski the whole day without getting uncomfortable. Much better than the hand warmers that you insert inside your gloves.
