If you’re looking for a dexterous glove, maybe for hiking, nordic skiing or just walking the dog, Outdoor Research’s SureShot Heated Softshell Gloves are worth considering. While the SureShot is not waterproof like its hardshell cousins, this slim, stretchy glove sandwiches a light layer of EnduraLoft insulation between a soft, nylon-heavy spandex blend exterior and a comfy polyester-based lining. The result is wind-resistant and water-resistant, breathable and wearable, making it ideal for high-output activities and leisurely use alike.

Heated gloves can be a pricey investment, but Aroma Season Store’s rechargeable heated gloves prove that they needn’t cost the earth. Offering an ample 5–10 hours battery life and all-round hand heating, it’s no surprise that the gloves are highly rated by many happy customers. They may come with three temperature settings, but they’re very warm, with many finding that they don’t have to go past the lowest setting for keeping their mitts snug. When snowboarding you are more likely to drag your fingers on the surface of the snow, so it's worth making sure the fingertips have an over-wrap, or overlap, design on the finger tips for boarding. If the fingers end with all seams meeting at the tips, then they can be susceptible to abrasion when snowboarding.

The PrimaLoft insulation is made of 90% recycled material and contains electric heating elements which wrap around your fingers and the rear of the hand. The lowest power setting is fine for most situations and lasts up to 7½ hours. The two other higher-powered modes give more heat, although battery life is greatly reduced.

The right size is important to ensure the heated panels work properly. Too big a glove will mean a greater distance between the heated panels and the fingertips, so reducing the heating capacity. If you have a very narrow hand, you should consider going down a size. An alternative option is to use a heated liner combined with a traditional ski glove.
