Find Out If They're Right for You

Honest answers to the questions we get most

I have poor circulation / Raynaud's / arthritis. Will these work? +

They're made for you.

Three heat settings let you adjust to exactly what your hands need, whether you're out for errands or relaxing outdoors.

Do I need a smartphone to use these gloves? +

Nope! No smartphone needed at all.

Our gloves are completely standalone — no apps, no Bluetooth, no phone connection required.

I've tried heated gloves before. They died after 20 minutes. Why are yours different? +

Ours don't.

8+ hours on a single charge, guaranteed*. If they don't last all day, send them back for a full refund.

*on the lowest heat setting.

Are they waterproof? +

Our gloves are showerproof and snow-proof — light rain, snow, and damp conditions are no problem.

However, because they contain lithium batteries, we don't recommend submerging them in water or wearing them in heavy rain for extended periods.

For everyday use — dog walks, errands, gardening, shovelling snow — they'll keep your hands warm and dry.

What if they don't work for me? +

60-day guarantee. Wear them, test them. If your hands are still cold, full refund. No questions.

Are the gloves touchscreen compatible? +

Yes — the fingertips work with smartphones and tablets. No need to take them off to answer a call or check a message.

Will these actually warm my fingertips? +

Yes. Our heating elements run through each finger—not just the palm. Warmth goes directly where you need it most.

Can I actually use my hands while wearing these? +

Absolutely. Grip a steering wheel, hold a coffee, use your phone. These are built for daily life, not just ski slopes.

Can I use these for running? +

Yes — our gloves can be used for running.

They're great for cold morning runs when you need warmth but still want to use your hands (adjusting your watch, holding your phone, etc.).

That said, if you run hot and only need gloves for the first 10 minutes, you may find them warmer than you need once you're moving. They're best for runners who struggle with cold hands throughout their run.

Can I use these for cycling? +

Honestly? It depends.

Our gloves are flexible enough to grip handlebars, and customers tell us they can hold a steering wheel and coffee cup without issues.

However, they're not specifically designed for cycling. For precise brake and gear control, they may not feel as nimble as thin cycling gloves.

Our suggestion: Try them with our 6-month money-back guarantee. Take them on a short ride — if they don't work for brakes and gears, send them back for a full refund. No hassle.

Battery & Specs

Batteries, charging, and heat settings

Do they come with batteries? +

Do they come with batteries?

Yes! Everything you need is included in the box:

  • 2 rechargeable 4000 mAh batteries (one for each glove)
  • Wall charger
  • Your gloves, ready to go

Just charge, slide the batteries in, and press the button. No extra purchases needed.

What sizes are the batteries? +

Each glove uses a compact rechargeable lithium-ion battery — small enough to slip into a pocket inside the glove without adding bulk.

Battery specs:

  • Power: 4000mAh
  • Size: About the size of a small phone power bank — fits comfortably in your palm

They're lightweight, rechargeable via the included wall charger, and designed to keep the gloves slim and comfortable while still delivering longlasting heat.

Are the gloves rechargeable? +

Yes! The gloves come with two rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (one for each glove) and a wall charger included.

Just plug them in, wait a few hours, and they're ready to go again. No need to keep buying disposable batteries — one charge gives you up to 8 hours of warmth.

What temperature do the gloves reach? +

The gloves have three heat settings you can switch between with one button:

  • Low: 45°C (113°F)
  • Medium: 55°C (131°F)
  • High: 65°C (149°F)

Most customers find low or medium is plenty for everyday use — walking the dog, errands, gardening. High heat is there for extra cold days or when you need to warm up fast.

The higher the setting, the more battery you'll use — so many people start on high to warm up, then switch to low to keep warm all day.

How quickly do the gloves heat up? +

Within seconds. You'll feel warmth almost immediately — no waiting around in the cold.

What exactly gets heated? +

The heating elements run all the way to your fingertips — not just the palm like cheaper gloves. That's the key difference for people with circulation issues.

How long does it take to charge the batteries? +

Around 3-4 hours for a full charge.
