Outdoor Research  Sureshot Heated Soft-Shell Gloves - Women's

These are labeled as women's gloves but will fit anybody with slim to average hands. Pros: - Not too bulky - Durable exterior shell and internal wiring - The only heated gloves I've tried out of 3-4 brands that keep my fingertips warm. Get these if you have Raynaud's or your finger are slow to warm up - Battery orients itself nicely in the zipper pocket - Support will replace the gloves if they break Cons: - These are 2/5 windproof. I have to keep them at full heat while bicycling to fight the wind chill - 2/5 waterproof (but 4/5 if you spray them with Nikwax 🤫) - The bright green LED will ruin your night vision

I haven't worn these in come weather yet but grabbed them on sale. I have raynaud's so my finger tips burn when I'm walking the dog in temps below 40 degrees. These gloves fit great. The fabric seems like evened quality and I love that the gloves are substantial but not really thick like regular ski gloves. I have mobility and can still use my fingers for fine motor tasks. My last heated gloves from another brand were liners; I got them to avoid the bulk but they still seem to have excess fabric. I am looking forward to trying these out next week to see how warm they get, how well they heat my finger tips, and how long the batteries last. So far, I would recommend them.

I have Raynaud syndrome and have struggled to keep my hands comfortable when outside in the cold. I’ve used the “warmest”rated mittens, mittens with liners, mittens with hand warmers and none have kept me from developing symptoms in the cold. Went for a 2 hour hike today in 18 degree temps and no Raynaud symptoms with the sureshot heated gloves. Started on high and after a few minutes turned down to medium. My only small quibbles are I wish there was another color other than black, and the small is just a little too big for my small hands. I wish they would make an XS. (Though at this price I won’t be replacing anytime soon).

I love these - I have Reynaud's syndrome so poor circulation in my fingers. I Nordic ski and have always had to wear down mittens with hand warmers inside, which are super uncomfortable to ski with. And still I always had to stop after 10 minutes to get the blood back in my hands and let them warm up. I pop these gloves on high and am good to go right away. I can turn them down to medium or low once I've warmed up, and if it's really cold I can fit my xc overmitts on top and that keeps them toasty. I've had no problems with the batteries running out. I've also used them for winter mt biking when it's not raining. The only reason I didn't give them a 10 is that it would be nice if they were Goretex.

I bought these for my wife who liked my OR Prevail heated gloves but wanted something with more dexterity so I bought her these. The Sureshot is less bulky than the Prevail so she's happy. Now that we're older our circulation in our hands isn't what it used to be and these gloves deliver three intensities of heat almost instantly which is welcome. The batteries take a while to charge up but will last over 2 hours on the highest setting which is pretty good in my opinion. The heating elements provide excellent heat distribution all over the hand and fingers. They are water resistant and wind proof. Yes they're pricey but these gloves are top of the line if you really need to protect your hands from the elements.

I have tried every non-electric fix for cold hands for years. But when it’s really cold out, my hands just don’t stay warm. I chalk that up to a childhood spent outside enjoying the snow and ice skating but in wool mittens. The temp is 17 today and I wore these for the first time to walk my dog. FINALLY! My fingers didn’t get cold. I won’t say they were overly warm but they were comfortable and I’ll take that. I played around with all 3 settings and honestly didn’t really notice much of a difference but that’s ok. I’m sorry I didn’t think to buy electric gloves years ago!

These are the 4th pair of heated gloves that I have bought over the past few years, and are by far the best. They have a side zipper that is great for helping tuck the coat sleeve into the glove sleeve. As anyone who has ever used heated gloves before knows, sometimes the hands sweat a little making the gloves hard to get on or off while out. The side zipper also helps with this aspect. They're also less bulky than my other heated gloves. Well worth the money and will buy another pair when needed. Almost feel like buying another pair now as sometimes designs change.

Streamlined design, batteries aren't too bulky, fingers are flexible, great color. Battery packs are on the inside of the wrist. Really like the loops to help pull on the gloves with thick gloved fingers - very helpful. Really easy to turn on and off and change the heating level settings. Just not as toasty as I was expecting - the palm has no heating elements, so heating relies entirely on the fingers which doesn't keep my hands as warm. Seem to run a bit big: I bought the unheated sureshot gloves in medium but needed a small in these.

Got these for a 6 day ski trip in BC -- first heated gloves. On days when 10-20F, manually cycled between low and off for the whole day. Very good. Hands don't get "hot" -- they just never get cold. On cold days (-10 to 9F), cycled between medium and occasionally high power levels and the batteries died in about 5-6 hrs (as advertised). At that point, the gloves were basically useless -- very poorly insulated if heater not used. Bring backup mittens if it's cold!! Full battery charge takes about 6 hrs.

I recently decided to invest in the Sureshot in an effort to avoid painful fingers while skiing in cold conditions. They are supposed to be for “extreme cold”, but unfortunately I am quite disappointed. Even on the highest setting, they did not protect my fingers for more than about 30 minutes in temperatures between 5-10 degrees Fahrenheit. For that kind of weather, it is necessary to wear both the Sureshot and a large mitten on top, or, even less ideal, a pair of liner gloves below the Sureshot gloves. If planning to do the latter, consider going at least one size larger. The other thing to note is that if you are planning to be out for more than a couple of hours, you should buy a spare set of batteries. By lunchtime of a full cold ski day, the batteries were dead. In sum, these are ok gloves for short walks around the neighborhood, but many unheated gloves are sufficient for that. I unfortunately regret this purchase.
