Capstone Heated Sensor Glove

Pricey, bulky but with unmatched warmth

They run pretty large , feel very gauntlet (I know they are) sized /cut. Battery doesn't last that long even on low. Still uncertain if I'd recommend for the price. I carried extra batteries since they wouldn't last a full (3-6hr) during cold activities (snowboard/ski/snowmobiling).

Reliable Warmth

In the winter we have to plow at least 2 miles of road on our open-cab tractor. In below freezing conditions, these gloves are a life-saver and are rarely even used on the high setting as it can get too hot. They are a bit bulky and have to be removed for high dexterity work, but quickly warm fingers back up.

Game Changer

I've struggled with Raynauds all my life. It made snow sports almost impossible to enjoy. Even in relatively mild conditions I'd make it 2-3 runs before having to go inside because my hands were completely non-functional. After 20+ days of skiing with these gloves, I haven't had to take a single break for cold hands. Quite possibly the best purchase I've ever made.

I haven't used them yet, but I hear they're very good. I have some friends that use an older model. The only problem is the fit. The fingers and palm is short and very wide. They probably fit perfect for men, but there is a lot of room around my fingers and palm, and the length to the palm is short . Maybe make a female version? We're usually the ones with colder hands, but I will keep these until I can find something better.

Best purchase this year!

Love these gloves. Very well built. Really enjoy the temp settings and how easy it is to change the setting. You gotta get these if you love the snow!!

Warm

It's a great glove. Heats mostly the top of your hands so you can get some cold areas but even on the low setting it is warm. Jackson hole -4 deg and I was toasty on medium. Glove is very high quality construction. Good for all types of people. Cost is an issue but it does come with two sets of batteries which are specialized. If I could improve it I'd make a battery pack that could take AAAs as well for long trips without a charger.

Great heated gloves for paragliding

My hands are naturally cold, so I've always struggled with keeping them warm while paragliding. These Capstone heated gloves have been awesome, and the batteries last long enough for my flight. Very pleased with the purchase. The gloves are thick, but dexterity is still good enough for me to launch and fly in them (for prepping the gear, I'll take them off and wear thin liner gloves, while keeping the battery running -- that way I can slide my hands into the warm gloves as soon as I'm ready).

yes. best glove by far

sub zero skiing. motorcycle riding in low temperatures.

Nice gloves, but could be better for price

Pros: - Heats up very quickly and (mostly) evenly. - Batteries last long enough for a typical ski day (4-6 hours depending on setting) - Gloves themselves are nice material, fit well and seem durable. Cons: - PRICE! Even with a discount these are crazy expensive. - Mittens with glove liners and heat packs work just as well and last longer (although generate a lot of trash). - Batteries are fragile- one of the cords broke a month into using it. Replacements are very expensive as well. - Taking all four battery packs out of the gloves to recharge every time you use it is kind of a pain if it's a daily thing (I used mine for working outside in the cold). It would be nice if they could add a direct charge option to the gloves. Bottom Line: - As far as electric gloves go, these are pretty nice. However, given the price, the fragile batteries, and the fact that they offer comparable results to mittens and heat packs, I wouldn't spend the money on these again unfortunately

Very well made and warm

These gloves are very well made and the extra batteries in them, compared top there brands, ensure heat throughout the day. I'm a 90 plus day per season skier on blood thinners and these are the best gloves I've owned. I've had heated liners and other heated gloves....none as good as these. Expensive? Certainly, but worth every penny. The only drawback is that I find they fit a bit big.
