Heating apparel have seen a big boost over the past 2-3 years with every year more companies come up with new solutions to take out the pain felt when outdoors for prolonged time in cold weather.

e-Textile advancements in this field enable clothing designer to integrate heating elements in textiles making them un-feelable and invisible even fashionable as we have posted only a few days ago.

ActiVHeat has come up with battery heated glove liners keeping the fingers comfy warm while allowing to use any of your preferred out glove to match your outfit and taste.

The twist of ActiVHeat’s solution is to offer the option to take away the batteries usually placed around the wrist area and thus limit a bit the movement of your hand and store the power pack somewhere more comfortable to wear ion the body.

The cable management is done in the clothing with the glove liners connected via a plug coming out of the sleeve to the main power pack. This solution has also the advantage that only one power pack/battery has to be taken care off.

ActiVHeat is using heating textiles which contain bundles of soft carbon microfibers to actively keep your hands toasty. The invisible heating elements extend all the way down the sides of each finger. The low-power heat is gentle and safe and adjustable to three levels.

Simple but brilliant idea and everyone being sensitive to cold fingers (like me) will highly appreciate the sleek solution.

Coming for a moderate price of $69.95 and no, I am not adding our tag-line: ‘staying warm is priceless’ …. oops I did it again.

Keeping your finger warm while outdoors in sub-zero temperatures has never been as easy as it is now. Heated gloves are coming to the market in rapid succession lately ranging from simple products where the heat is regulated manually up to the latest breed of heated gloves using the advanced Aevex® Intelligent Heat™ technology.

Outdoor Research is launching the PrimaVolta heated glove for women and the PrimoVolta model for men.

Like the Red Savina glove we posted about a few days ago, The Prima/PrimoVolta gloves have embedded intelligent heat panels that sense when you need heat and deliver via the flexible Aevex energy panels at back of the hand and top and bottom of the wrist.

A lightweight battery is located in the wrist area giving heat for up to 6 hours thanks to the intelligent ‘on demand’ heating technology.

To keep the heat inside the gloves are made of waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX shell with stretch and compression-molded nylon panels and a leather palm for added durability and enhanced grip.

Available mid of October by Mountain Gear for $259.- Yeah, I know a high price point but I like to point out: warm fingers are priceless when you plan to enjoy  staying outdoors when it is really cold.

The Red Savina is a heated glove is smart and keeps your fingers warm in the month to come.

Smart because it comes with a system that reacts to the temperature of the hand and maintains a warm and comfortable climate inside the gloves.

Whenever the temperature inside the gloves falls below a certain preset level, the heating kicks in and warms up your fingers.

The glove temperature control is based on the (patent-pending) Aevex® Intelligent Heat™ technology. No need to switch on or off the heating like by the other heated gloves on the market, the Red Savina will do the thinking and sensing for you so you can enjoy the great outdoors and never worry about cold fingers.

The Aevex® Intelligent Heat™ system uses three lightweight, low profile and flexible lithium polymer batteries, each weighing 7 grams to provide heat to the fingers and palm for up to 6 hours.

Mountain Hardware’s Red Savina heated gloves will be available soon in a women’s and men’s version for a suggested retail price of $350.-

You know my preference – warm fingers are priceless.

Cold hands are the first sign of the approaching winter time. If you hate, like me, cold fingers, heated gloves are the invention of today.

With the advancements of e-textiles our winter outfit does not have to come in multiple layers but it can be slim and lightweight almost like summer clothing as long as textile heating elements are integrated.

Over the past 2 years we have seen more and more heated clothing coming to the market and every year these heated clothing items get more sophisticated.

Vaso Heated Glove Liners come in a sleek, light weight design but keep your hands warm and dry under the coldest conditions with their patented Bioheat technology.

Bioheat is the integration of thermal microflex technology with peripheral neurovascular physiology. In plain English: it is an advanced flexible circuit that strategically positions thermal elements on all five fingertips for maximum stimulation and therefore protection from the cold.

Sounds simple – right?! What directed my attention to the Vaso heated glove liner is the light weight design. So far we have seen rather ‘bulky’ ski-glove type heated gloves. The integration of slim technology elements allow more design/style freedom making heated clothing more fashionable, fit to be worn not only when biking, hiking or during winter sport activities but also for the city chic lifestyle.

Vaso uses conventional AA batteries that fit into a ‘Flexconnect’ system which is a construction of a durable soft polymer that conforms to the shape of the wrist providing greater wear comfort. Each hand needs 1x AA battery to warm up your hand.

If you attach a value of $80.- to warm hands then click over to Vaso and buy the heated glove liners before the cold weather is hitting you.
