Prevail Heated GORE-TEX Glove

Used these with high heat in -15 weather my hands were nice and warm. I would warm them, turn off the glove and repeat about once an hour. Lasted the entire day that way.

The Best Heated Gloves

2nd Pair. Nothing Compares.

My first pair of heated gloves

Overall the gloves are nice. They are very large and a bit clunky, however I expected that. The warmth you get is very nice, but they don't get extremely hot. Battery life is good and work as advertised. As this is my first pair of heated gloves I would say they are good for both beginners and experts. If you curious about how heated gloves might work for you, these are a good place to start.

Cuffs / gauntlets completely defeat these gloves

Size and heating is as promised. The thing that makes this not worth the money is that the gauntlets/cuffs are far, far too small to make this effective. Obviously with the control button on the cuff of the glove, the gloves need to sit on the outside of the jacket. So they have to be "gauntlet" style to accomplish that. Unfortunately the gauntlets are too small to effectively slip over the top of any of my jackets (ski shells, puffers, casual jackets. Because of the bulkiness of the batteries that sit on / below the wrist the gloves also don't fit UNDER the jacket -- or if it does it is with so much fussing that it isn't worth the trouble. Not worth what I paid and honestly bummed I can't return these. Plenty of examples of gauntlet style gloves out in the market, needs a big wide opening and a cinch or two to keep it tight. Maybe I'm missing something since these are my first heated gloves but seems like a huge miss. The size I purchased was XS and they fit as expected for me, though I have to say even though the gauntlet isn't wide enough, they are comically long -- I don't think they scaled these down from the Medium so they go most the way to my elbow as an XS. Goofy but wouldn't mind if I could actually use these as intended.

Great Glove, But TOO Small

I bought the largest size XL, which is suppose to fit a hand with a circumference of 9 1/4 to 9 5/8", but can barely get my 9.0" hand into it. Hard to bend the fingers! Per their chart it is a Medium. Men need larger gloves!!

Disappointed

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Size Bought:

Large

Bought these as a gift for my husband. Comfortable and cozy warm when trying them out at home. Fingers still cold on the slopes. Disappointed

NOT worth the money

Nice glove but horrible battery power life. They need to be charged constantly. My gloves last a max of two hours on low setting before the batteries die.

These are nice gloves but they run small so they didn't fit and I wasn't able to exchange them.

Heating was Ineffective

Maybe I got a dud, maybe they aren’t that great. Trying them in my house, they seemed to perform well and I was excited to use them. However, using them on the ski hill with only -2 degrees Celsius weather, the tips of my fingers felt cold. Disappointing, as I suffer from a hand condition where I easily lose circulation and was really hoping that these would be the magic bullet to keep my hands warm as I enjoy the slopes. Other than the heating aspect, the gloves made with quality materials. Not worth the money. Too bad, as I have been purely using OR mitts for over 2 decades.

Unacceptable battery life

Brand new. Less than one hour of battery life. Very disappointed given price.
