We also fish so nice for that as well as skiing. The gloves are nicer than any klims, or for and cost the same or less even if you rarely used the heat.

Turbo Tim Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 My wife got me a pair for Christmas, like $150 from Costco, that is a great price and Karbon is a good brand, I have lots of their clothes and it is well made. I will be curious to see how they work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Anyone actually use them yet, if so, how are they from a flexibility stand point? They look kind of rigid in the picture, but pictures don’t tell the whole story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Why you confused @blackjack1 You never owned a pair of stiff gloves?!?!? I have heard others mention the electric gloves are more rigid, I guess by design, so wondering. Don’t like stiff gloves myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 My 86 years old mother has a pair of these gloves. She used them while putting up her Christmas lights, going for walks and various outdoor chores. She has arthritis in her hands and needs the heat. She says they work great and are flexible enough for here to get things done. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it does take a few years of "experience" to come to terms with them though....lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son and I are only 1/2 mile away. And every year she says she's not going to put up as much and every year it all goes up.....lol "Well I like it all and I had the time" is all she says. Just yesterday I talked to her and she said wasn't going to take anything down until it got warmer and some of the snow went away. Well... I have a camera I monitor on her front porch and she is out there right now taking down lights....lol Yes, she has her heated gloves on. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamatario Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I bought the Klim heated gloves last year and no regrets. I understands the muffs and thin gloves but muffs get in the way. That is why I went with Klim as they are awesome quality and I love the warmth even before I ever have to turn them on. I also do not find them stiff as brand new, they are less stiff than my 3 year old leather gloves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I did read the reviews on Costco and it seems the one concern that is mentioned more than once is the battery life - seems to last a couple of hours, depending on setting you use of course. So a day on the trails sounds like you will need a second or third set of batteries to swap out, if that is possible to keep them working all day.

I really like the idea behind any brand of heated gloves. However, I do worry, will they be warm enough should the battery die before I return?

stoney Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I was skiing this past Monday and a lady that I saw on the chairlift a few times had what I thought were electric gloves, so I asked her, and they were. Bought from Amazon and she mentioned they were cheap, so I just looked them up and the link is below. Monday was not an extreme cold day by any means, but she said they worked great and at that point in the day she had been using them for 5 to 6 hours on med settings.....and when I look at the link, the light on her glove was Blue in colour, so one setting below high. https://www.amazon.ca/SabotHeat-2022-Upgrade-Heated-Gloves/dp/B0B3JGTHXN/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=Electric%2BHeated%2BGloves&qid=1673569685&sr=8-5&th=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 The sizing guide would put me 2 sizes smaller than the sled gloves I wear now. I wonder what they mean by 1 Adapter with Cable in the Included components section? Is an adapter the same as a charger?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a number of more expensive makes and models that by description would be more suited to snowmobiling. BEWARE OF DIFFERENCES IN SIZING CHARTS ON VARIOUS MODELS OF THE GLOVES ON AMAZON.CA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sksman Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Starting to consider heated gloves. I find when we stop my hands get cold then I am screwed for awhile after. What does everyone use? 200 gram back of hand and 100 gram front of hand.? Or do I need 300gram back and 200gram front? I really hate a thick padded glove that you can’t close around the bars.

Can't answer your question specifically, but I can tell you I went with the KLIM heated glove as they offered the longest battery life I have Raynauds, muffs, heated grips and heated gloves combo is a must or I can't ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Here is hoping I’m still good this year with my set up….muffs and thin gloves. When this doesn’t work, I’ll consider the heated option. But I agree, it sucks to have stiff fingered gloves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infernobuster Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Ive run the FXR recon heated gloves .. what a game changer. Could never go back to a normal glove now. 2 battery packs, change em at lunch and good for the whole day ride. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
