My hands go numb within minutes of being outside and it takes a good ten minutes of pain before they come back. These liners are the first thing I've worn that stops it happening in the first place rather than helping me recover afterwards.
HearthShield™ Waterproof Gloves
- Stays dry in rain and snow
- Warm all day — nothing to charge
- Grip, phone and zips — gloves stay on
I've got a drawer full of winter gloves that let water in. These are the first pair that's made it out to the van twice. Frost on the ladder at half seven, rain by eleven, and my hands were the only dry thing on me all day. No charging, no dead battery at two o'clock. They just work.

Finding your size
Takes a minute, and you only ever do it once. Most women choose M. Most men choose L.
- Measure. Wrap a soft tape around the widest part of your hand, just below the knuckles, thumb left out. No tape on the van? A strip of paper or a bit of string does the same job — wrap it round, mark where it meets, hold it against a ruler. Measure your dominant hand, or whichever is wider. Every order comes with a left and a right, so one size covers the pair.
- Read it snug. Keep the tape flat against your hand without pulling it tight, and note the number in inches or centimetres.
- Match. Find your number in the chart above.
Between two sizes? Take the smaller one. Slack in the fingers is what costs you the screw, the trigger and the phone. Size up only if you plan to run a thin liner underneath in hard cold.
Wet hands are cold hands. That's the whole problem.
Most work gloves hold out for twenty minutes of rain. Then the damp gets through, and from that point nothing warms your hands back up — not the heater in the van, not shoving them in your pockets between jobs. Add wind on top and it goes straight to the fingertips. We built these around the three things that actually go wrong on a winter site.
- Water gets in and the warmth goes out. A waterproof, windproof shell keeps rain, snow and spray on the outside, and blocks the chill that strips heat off a wet glove. Dry hands stay warm. Wet ones never do.
- Bulk costs you the job. Warm usually means thick, and thick means the glove comes off for every screw, fitting and fastener. Cut close through the palm and fingers, with grip where you hold things, so it stays on while you work.
- Nothing to charge. Nothing to die. No wires, no battery pack fighting your cuff, no flat cell at two o'clock on the coldest day of the year. Insulation works the moment you put them on and keeps working all day.
Gloves that stay on. Touchscreen fingertips for your phone, an ergonomic cut and real grip — so there's no reason to pull a glove off in the rain.
What are they made of?
A weatherproof outer built over a warm lining. From the outside in:
- Waterproof outer shell — blocks rain, snow and spray
- Windproof construction — stops the chill that gets through at speed
- Insulation — holds your own heat in, with nothing to switch on
- Soft lining — sits against your skin and stays comfortable all day
Touchscreen fingertip panels, so you can answer the phone or check the job without stripping a glove off. Ergonomically cut for grip and flexibility, for women and men alike.
Wind and water
Waterproof and windproof. They handle rain, snow, spray and a wet drive between jobs without soaking through, and they cut the wind chill ordinary insulation can't. Dry them properly after a wet day and the shell keeps doing its job season after season.
How do I care for them?
- Hand wash only. Cool water, mild detergent, no machine, no wringing.
- Dry them slowly. Lay them flat, away from direct sun, radiators and heat guns. Direct heat stiffens the shell and shortens its life.
- Wet from a full day out? Open the cuffs wide and stand them upright overnight so the fingers drain and air through.
- Knock the mud off while it's wet. Rinse with cool water rather than letting it dry hard into the shell.
- Don't dry clean, bleach or iron.
Between seasons. Store them flat and fully dry, not squashed in the bottom of a toolbag. A damp glove put away in March is a ruined glove in October.
No battery. Nothing to charge. Nothing to run out.
Heated gloves solve the cold for two or three hours, then hand you a flat battery and a wet glove. These work the other way round: keep the water and wind out, keep your own heat in, and the warmth lasts as long as the day does.
- From the moment you put them on. No warm-up, no button, no settings to think about with cold hands.
- All day, every day. Nothing to charge overnight and nothing to forget on the kitchen worktop.
- Nothing to break. No wiring to crack along the knuckles, no connector to pull loose, no battery pocket fighting your jacket cuff.
How cold is too cold?
For most winter work — frost, wind, rain, a long day outside — these are enough on their own. In hard, still cold, or if you're stood in one place for hours rather than moving, add a thin liner underneath. That's why we say size up if you plan to layer: the liner needs room, or you lose the fit that keeps the glove on your hand.

What customers actually say
Numb hands no more
"My hands have always gone numb first, every winter, whatever I wear. These aren't bulky — I can still find a screw in my pocket or work a trigger — and they stay warm and dry right through the day. First year I'm not dreading the cold."
Perfect Fit & Versatile
"FINALLY, a small that actually fits. Ordered a second pair the same week — one lives in the van, one stays in the tool bag. No slack in the fingers, so I'm not pulling them off every five minutes to do up a fitting."
Life-changing relief
"I've run heated grips for three winters, so I thought I knew what warm hands felt like. Turns out the problem was never heat. It was water. Once my hands stopped getting wet, they stopped getting cold."

I've run heated grips on my bike for three winters so I thought my cold hands were sorted. Turns out it was the backs of my fingers the whole time. First commute in these gloves and I didn't pull over once to warm up.
I walk two dogs every morning through the winter and I need my hands for treats, poo bags and the leads. Every warm glove I'd tried meant taking them off constantly. These are thin enough that I just leave them on the whole walk.
Rode 340 miles in a day through the mountains in October. Started on high, dropped to low once I warmed up, swapped the battery at lunch. Never had cold hands and never had to cut the day short.
I've always had cold feet and I'd been looking for heated socks for my winter photo sessions, but I was worried they'd be flimsy. They aren't. Ten outings in and the heat is still even across both.
My bike used to sit in the garage from November through March. Bought the gloves in December and I've been out most days since. Three extra months of riding a year, which is the whole reason I own the thing.
I bought the vest to stop paying to heat the whole house while I work from home. I heat my body now, not the room. The heating has barely come on this month.
What sold me is the heat across the knuckles and out to the fingertips. That's where the cold actually lands, and it's the exact spot every other glove I've owned ignores completely.
My fingers go white and numb in the cold and winter photography had basically stopped being possible. These liners let me feel the shutter and keep my hands warm at the same time. I'm out taking photos again.
Pulled over on the first ride to turn the heat down. Twenty-two years of riding and that has never once happened to me.
I keep mine on at my desk. My hands used to get cold in the house before they got cold outside. Thin enough to type in, which was the thing I didn't think I'd get.
45 minutes each way to work. Going in was never the problem because my hands were warm when I left. Coming home in the dark was. These are still putting out heat when I pull into the garage.
Bought these for my mother who is 84 and stopped going out in winter. She rang me to say she'd walked to the shop and back without stopping. That was the whole point.
I deliver five nights a week. Two pairs of gloves and chemical warmers, none of it worked past the first hour. These get me through a full shift on medium. Bought a second battery so I swap at my break instead of going home early.
The socks warm up within seconds of switching them on, and the heat covers the whole foot rather than just the toes. That was my complaint with the last pair I tried.
My wife got the first pair and I borrowed them once. Ordered my own the same night.
I wear the vest under my coat at my grandson's football matches. I used to leave at half time. I watched the whole match last Saturday for the first time in years.
I stopped riding in winter about six years ago because of my hands. Nothing else about the cold bothered me. Got these in November and I'm out at the weekends again. My only regret is the six years.
I've washed the socks after nearly every wear and they're still heating exactly the same. That was the thing I was most worried about before ordering.
Wind is the real enemy, not temperature. I've got no fairing on my bike so everything hits my hands square on. These hold up at 70 on the interstate, which no glove I've owned has managed.
It's slim enough to wear under a normal coat, which the last heated vest I bought absolutely was not. I don't look like I'm wearing anything unusual.
I'm 68 and my circulation isn't what it was. My fingertips would go numb inside ten minutes no matter what I wore. These are the first gloves that actually get heat to the ends of my fingers instead of just the palm.
Ordered on the Tuesday, wearing them on the Friday. Had a question about the battery indicator and got a proper answer from a person within a few hours. Rare enough to be worth mentioning.
Buy the spare batteries at the same time. Ten seconds to swap and you've doubled your day. Cheaper than cutting a trip short.
I put the socks on in the evening after a bath and adjust the setting as I need it. I bought them for outdoors and I use them indoors more.
I have a drawer full of winter gloves that all promised the same thing. Thick ones, waterproof ones, liners, the lot. This is the first pair that works, because it's putting heat in rather than trying to hold it.
The mittens keep my fingers together and warm, and I can still get into my bag and my pockets. Every convertible pair I tried before was so bulky I couldn't do either.
Three settings is the right number. Low is plenty above freezing and high is there when you need it. I can change it without taking my hand off the bar for long.
The battery packs sit flat and don't slide down or dig in as I walk. The pair I tried two winters ago had the battery right at the cuff and I could feel it the whole time.
Second winter on these and both gloves still heat the same. More than I can say for a cheap pair I bought off a marketplace that gave up on one side in January.
I bought the liners to wear under my own mitts and it works exactly as I hoped. When I take the outer off to do something I've still got heat on my hands.
I'm outside for work all year and I go through gear fast. These have lasted the whole season without the wiring giving up at the wrist, which is where every other pair has failed on me.
My husband bought me the vest for Christmas after I'd spent three winters complaining. I've barely had it off. He's now bought one for himself.
Four days through Montana in October, mornings in the twenties, riding eight until four most days. Never lost feeling in my hands once.
I'm outside at the school gates twice a day in a Canadian winter. The socks alone made more difference than the expensive boots I bought last year.
My hands used to ache for an hour after I came in. That deep ache that isn't really cold any more, it's just pain. That's gone, and I wasn't expecting the difference to carry on after I'd taken them off.
I was very sceptical ordering something I'd seen on Facebook. It arrived quickly, it's well made, and it does what the page said. Not something I can say about most things I've ordered that way.
Riding in winter had basically ended for me. My fingers would go white at every set of lights. These keep the fingertips warm enough that I can hold the bars normally the whole way.
Warm, well made, and I like them a lot. My only note is that I wish the batteries charged faster. A few hours is a long time if you forget to plug them in the night before. Easy enough once it's a habit.
Good gloves. The fingers run slightly long on me. I was right on the line between two sizes and went with the larger, and I should have sized down like the chart says. Still warm, just a bit of room at the tips.
I got these for my mum and ended up ordering a pair for myself a fortnight later. She's stopped saying no to going out.
Took a few outings to get used to. They're thicker than what I'm used to and the first day I was fumbling. By day three I'd stopped noticing. Warm the whole time, no complaints there.
One of mine arrived with a fault and a replacement was here in a few days without any argument. I'd have given five stars for the product anyway, but the way that was handled is why I'm writing this.
No complaints about the warmth at all. On the highest setting the battery goes faster than I expected, so I run it on medium and keep it there. Once I worked that out I stopped thinking about it.
These do help and I'm glad I bought them. I would say the heat is strongest across the back of the hand and slightly less at the very ends of my fingers, which is where I feel the cold most. Still an improvement on anything else I've tried.
Solid. It took me a couple of goes to learn the button presses without looking down. Once you've counted them a few times it's second nature, but the instructions could be clearer on that.
Warm and comfortable. I wear a large in everything and the large here is snug, so if you're between sizes I'd think carefully. Worth measuring properly rather than guessing like I did.
The warmth is genuinely there. I got caught in two hours of hard rain though and water did work its way in eventually. The page does say splash resistant rather than waterproof, so that's on me for hoping. Dried out fine and still heats evenly.
I'd have liked more runtime on the highest setting for a full day out. Medium gets me there comfortably. If you're outside all day in real cold, buy the second battery up front rather than finding out.
I think I ordered the wrong size. They go on fine but there's enough room that I'm not getting the close contact I expected. Returns were handled without a fuss and I'm waiting on the swap.
I ordered large and should have ordered medium. It's loose on me and I don't feel I'm getting much out of it as a result. The quality of the thing itself is clearly good, which is why I'm exchanging rather than returning.
