Nice quality, but room for improvement
I have used the heated mitts several times and the quality of the leather and construction is good. However, the battery pack on the inside of the cuff is rather large/bulky and the elastic wrist cuff would be greatly improved if it were a cinch strap. The batteries require a special charger that is also large (but has several international plugs). The mittens do not come with wrist straps, so if you want them, make sure to purchase separately. I have used the Absolute Mitts and Super Ligth Mitts in the past and both have better flexibility than the Solano.
Great warmth, but poor charging
I bought a pair of mitts for my husband December, 2019. He has a rare congenital heart defect resulting in 2 open heart surgeries, and has a pacemaker/ICD. He is a very fit avid nordic skier, winter studded fat tire rider and back country skier with very poor circulation. These mitts have been a godsend for him. When his Solano mitts are finished charging the light will turn green. He bought me Solano mitts December 2020, I have used them about 10x. I have to be conservative when I use them because I never know if they are fully charged. My charger light stays red, even if the mitts are plugged in for 24 hours! Black Diamond, I hope you will help us with this problem without having to pay more because these mitts are EXPENSIVE!!!!!! for this sort of performance. 5 stars for my husbands mitts, 1 for mine due to the charging situation.
Keeps my fingers and thumb warm
I've enjoyed using these gloves on resort and touring. They are a little bulky with the battery but are worth it for keeping my fingers from freezing. I use them on the lowest setting all day to not loose feeling of my finger tips. I can turn them up if needed but they won't last all day on high. Highly recommend if you have raynauds.
Lasted 2 seasons with very minimal use
In the beginning they were great when I needed them. This weekend one of the gloves stopped working and BD only warranties gloves for a year. They aren’t very comfortable, as said in previous reviews the battery is very bulky under your wrist. Overall unimpressed and upset about the cost of the gloves because now they are useless.
One year and the right mit no longer works
I purchased my mittens a year ago and now that the warranty if up the right mit no longer works. The store where I purchased them no longer carries them because they said there were too many returns because they stop working frequently. This is a great deal of money for one year of product use.
Immediate failure
One of the batteries was Dead on Arrival and have to wait up to 3 weeks for a warranty claim to be processed. Not stoked. The gloves themselves are excellent quality as one would expect from BD, however one would expect a brand new heated glove to turn on.
Great warmth, wish they lasted longer at the higher temp
Use these for winter hiking and skiing! Feel protected from the wind and they heat up quickly. Just can't take them out for a full ski day at the highest temp as they only last for half a day, so I cycle between each level.
Solano = Numero Uno
I Love them. After getting frost bite years ago skiing in Canada my hands just hurt when they're cold. The Solano mitten eleviates the problem. My hands start and stay warm throughout the ski day.
Finally
Finally have a mitten that fits and is warm. The heater lasts all day on the slopes but they are warm around town without it. Fit tight at wrist and roomy for hands. Comfortable.
Cozy!
I always struggle with keeping my fingers warm. These mittens are awesome. I no longer need to use hot hand style packets and the battery life is impressive!
