The gloves are not very well designed. At the time I bought them, I was working in a cold environment, so they seemed like a good idea, but they did not get as warm as I had been led to believe. Also the heating pad within the gloves falls against the back of the hand, rendering them almost useless in keeping the hands warm, there should be some kind of heating element in each finger.
The battery packs are fragile and fall apart easily.
There are 3 AAA batteries in each glove, which is a lot of battery charging for practically no warmth.
Overall, I would say these gloves are badly designed and don't live up to their expectations.
I would have been happier to pay a lot more for gloves that actually work. My pair of battery heated gloves are now redundant n a drawer somewhere. Not a good product.

Easy to have in your pockets all the time and just switch on (unlike gel handwarmers where you have to take them out to boil them up etc) I'd like to see a womans version

Three AAA batteries in each gloves makes them pretty expensive to run (especially if you forget to turn them off before taking them off! )

They were purchased as a present and the wearer loves them, they were neat and compact and you didn't fee the battery compartment. The lining was fab.

I suffer badly with cold fingers in the winter so I tried them out and I wouldn't mind them being a bit more warmer. The little screws were alittle annoying. How about making them into different designs, not all girls like pink, how about leather, kinky.

The heater element in each glove is almost completely in-effectual and yet they eat batteries for fun....
Even top quality Duracell type batteries are dead with 2 hours and you can't really feel any real 'warnth' from the gloves onto your hands anyway......Overall .....a very disapponting purchase.

I use to steer a scooter handlebar in winter cold. They heat is useful on 1 hour drives after dark in freezing temperatures and the gloves are simply functional for this purpose and at much lower price than alternatives.I have chronic illness and have circulation problems so the gloves are effective way of keeping independent vehicle and wheelchair on the road!
-
The battery casings are not easy to open and need a mini screwdriver set, not apparent at time of purchase and rather fiddly on first battery load. No problem on reloads but the battery casings design could be improved to make changes easier.
the battery casings can feel a little awkward on the back of the hands and there is a danger you can switch on unintentionally due to the design of the casing and switch.

The idea of heated gloves is a great idea, but I didn't find these were of any use.
-
The first pair I had to return as they didn't work and the heat generated from the second wasn't worth it. I have had more heat from holding a cup of tea through ordinary wollen gloves. You put batteries inside the gloves attached to a socket, but this doesnt make them particulalry comfortable and the batteries and socket tend to move around inside the gloves. I can't recommend them to anyone!
