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.
