It wasn’t until I moved to New York City two and half years ago that I realized what mind-numbing cold is. As someone born and raised in Los Angeles, I never had to think about covering up my body with a parka or putting on snow boots to run to the store, let alone wear heated gloves. But now that I live in a place where the temps drop below freezing and I walk to get my groceries, a pair of heated gloves has become an essential part of my wardrobe.
Unlike standard gloves made from cozy fabrics like wool or fleece, battery-powered heated gloves can better trap and maintain heat for hours on end. In many cases, these styles are able to evenly distribute the heat from the tips of your finger down to your wrist so that every part of your hands feel toasty no matter how frightful the weather may be outside. For those looking for some extra warmth and protection against the harsh cold elements, we’ve curated some of the best options for you to add to your winter closet below.

Savior Heat, Heated Gloves, $110-$120
If you’re prone to sweaty hands, consider adding these heated glove liners to your winter closet ASAP. The fabric is super soft, breathable, and thin enough to allow you to grip your phone and other tools without having to take off your gloves (you can wear them alone or with bigger gloves as an added layer). At the same time, they still can turn up the heat. The gloves warm up to 140 degrees and run entirely on two 7.4V 2200mAh lithium batteries. You can adjust the fit using one of the velcro cuffs.

If you get cold easily—and need relief, fast—these gloves are for you. They heat up in three seconds flat, and provide warmth from the tip of your finger to the entire back of your hand.

The outer shell is waterproof and multi-layered to help optimize insulation, which is a major plus for those who enjoy outdoor sports and icy activities.
Sun Will, Heated Gloves — $140.00
Whether you’re riding a motorcycle, hiking in the snow, or spending time shoveling the driveway, these gloves are designed to keep your paws warm. The outer shell of these gloves is pretty thick and have a protective casing around the knuckles to prevent injury to your hand.

Surviving a snowy winter isn’t easy, but these gloves will definitely take some of the chill off when you’re walking your pups around the neighborhood.

Lonheo, Heated Gloves — $110.00
Prefer something slim and well-fitted? Look no further than the Lonheo Heated Gloves. Like most of the options on this list, these have three adjustable heat settings that make hands feel like they’re being warmed by a fire.

Hammacher, The Everyday Heated Gloves — $150.00
Made of durable polyester and nylon, the Hammacher The Everyday Heated Gloves provide three levels of heat for chilly fall and winter evenings. They provide up to 5.5 hours of heat on low and two hours of heat on high. And if you’re looking to change the temp, just press the power button on the wrist to bring the heat down. The batteries zip into the palm side of each cuff so that you never have to take them off to keep your hands warm.
Neveland, Heated Gloves — $79.00
Originally $100, now $79
In addition to the touchscreen sensors that allow you to text and type with the gloves on, the cuffs have a drawstring for you to create a more secure fit. Moreover, the gloves automatically preheat for five minutes at the highest setting (155 degrees) before turning down one level. You can skip this feature and set them to your temp of preference, but it’s a nice feature to have for when you want to preemptively turn up the heat.
