Looking for electrically heated fingerless gloves for office use. I have chronically cold fingers, and so the intent is just to maintain a bit more dexterity on a keyboard etc. Battery isn't a strict requirement, although that would open up more use cases. I know there are stationary USB-powered models as well. (I suppose nothing prevents using an external power bank on the go)

There isn't exactly shortage of options but a lot of them are just cheap cotton gloves with like one wire stuffed in there, so I'm here trying to fish for the better quality options.

Bertschat Heated Fingerless Under Gloves - Dual Heating

Same glove as in the post, just with a more realistic pic.

So based on the initial search I got these.

Pros

  • Quality feel
  • Top and bottom heat independently adjustable
  • Heating is concentrated in fingers, exactly where it's needed most
  • Decently warm without power too as they're pretty windproof

Cons

  • Expensive
  • Outrageously prized extra batteries
    • They're 7,4V with a some kind of barrel connector. Maybe it would be possible to use third party batteries?
  • Battery sits a bit awkwardly under your wrist when your hands are on a desk. Extension cables are sold though.
  • A bit on the stiff side, but not too bad
  • Colorful LEDs always on in the controller bit. You may wish to hide them in your sleeves
  • The controller bits aren't mirrored for the other glove. I.e. the button closest to your fingers controls palm on the orher glove and backside on the other. There are icons though

Verdict

Certainly above average but I'd still love to find a better pair.

Other models

They have single side heated model as well, and also a heated deskpad. Haven't tried either.

About the company: One of the batteries had a broken charging indicator. I requested a change and was flatly denied. Also returns aren't free despite what the site claims. Expect good gloves, but poor batteries and customer service.

I recommend getting the same batteries cheap directly from Aliexpress.
