Best Heated Mittens
It’s never a good idea to head out into the cold without a pair of mittens to keep your hands warm. Heated mittens allow you to take the warmth to the next level and keep the heat flowing for up to eight hours. This makes all the difference if you are skiing, snowboarding, hiking, hunting, or any other outdoor activity. The longer your hands stay warm, the longer you can stay outdoors doing what you love.
The best heated mittens have a rechargeable battery that will keep your hands warm for up to 8 hours and push the temperature up to 140°F on high. It is almost impossible to get cold hands with a pair of heated mittens on your hands.
Heated mittens are not only great for hiking or just walking around town on a cold day, they can take your skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing to a whole new level, it’s easy to stay out on the slopes when your hands are nice and toasty.
If your hands get chilled to the bone on a cold day, it’s time to make the move to heated mittens. There are dozens of heated mittens available these days, we took a look at most of them to find the best six pairs on the market today.
Take a look at what we think are the best heated mittens:
Barchi Heat Unisex Heated Mittens
This is the first Barchi Heat product that we have looked at but so far they are off to a great start. These mittens are made from wind and water resistant polyester that helps to repel snow and rain.
The infrared carbon fiber heating elements cover the entire back of the hand and wraps up around your fingertips so they will stay nice and warm. The 7.4V 2200MAH can keep the heat going for up to 6.5 hours on low and 3.5 hours on medium and around 2 hours on high. These mittens come with a 1year warranty and excellent customer service.
The reviews for these mittens were fantastic with one reviewer claiming they keep their hands toasty warm even in -5°F weather. There were zero bad reviews with only a couple of reviewers being disappointed by the battery life. All in all, an absolutely excellent choice for heated mittens.
Day Wolf Heated Mittens
This is another great choice in the heated mitten arena. Day Wolf (I love the name) mittens are made from polyester and nylon which makes them durable, as well as water resistant.
The heating elements in these mittens cover the entire back of your hand and fingers, all the way up to the fingertips. The 7.4V 2200mAh rechargeable li-ion batteries can take the heat up to 140°F and keep it there for about 2.5 hours on high. If you dial it back to low, you can stretch that time out to 4-5 hours. It takes 3-4 hours to recharge the power bank so you may want to carry extra batteries if you plan on being outside for a while.
The thumb has a U shape on the thumb that is touch screen sensitive so you can use your phone without taking them off. A 1 year warranty means you can buy these mittens with confidence.
The vast majority of reviewers loved the heat, fit and durability of these mittens. There were a couple of users who felt they didn’t produce enough heat although these seemed to be the exception to the rule and Day Wolf customer service seems more than happy to deal with any issues that arise.
ORORO Unisex Heated Mittens
Ororo is a well respected brand when it comes to heated apparel and many of their other products have made out best of lists so it’s no surprise that these mittens are one of the best heated mittens we could find.
They have a split-finger design so they have separate fingers inside which offers increased dexterity while keeping the warmth factor that mittens provide. They are made from genuine goatskin with a taslan shell and 3M Thinsulate insulation which makes them not only super comfortable but water resistant as well.
The carbon fiber heating elements wrap around the back of your hands to the front of your fingertips which will keep your hands toasty warm. A pair of 7.4V rechargeable batteries can run the heat up to 140°F and can keep the heat flowing for up to 6 hours on low and 3 hours on high.
A hook and loop closure on the wrist makes sure these mittens fit snugly and keep the heat inside the mitten where it belongs. These mittens received nothing but praise for their warmth, quality build and fit, there were literally no bad reviews. Customer Service quickly responded to any issues and resolved them. These mittens are an excellent choice for just about anyone who deals with cold hands while outside.
Savior Heated Mittens
Savior is a well-known heated apparel brand and their gloves and mittens are some of the best. This unisex mitten is made from insulated cotton with a super soft and breathable fleece inner. They are plenty warm even before you turn on the heat. These mittens have heating elements that cover the back of hand as well as your fingers up to the fingertips. The thumb pumps up the warmth with double heating in both thumbs.
A pair of 7.4V 2200MAH rechargeable Li-ion batteries keep these mittens warm for up to 5 hours on low but that drops to 2.5 hours when they are switched to high. Expect around 3-4 hours on the medium setting. On high, these mittens can hit 140°F so you don’t have to worry about your hands freezing up. It is possible to purchase additional batteries if you need the heat to last longer.
These mittens are waterproof, and the thumb is touch sensitive so you don’t have to take them off to use your phone. The reviews of these mittens were fantastic, which is hardly a surprise, Savior is an excellent brand. The heat produced was astounding with some people claiming they got almost 4 hours out of the battery even when it was on high. You may want to go up one size as the sizing is a bit snug. One person reported that the battery pocket ripped but that was the only real complaint about these awesome mittens.
Snowdeer Unisex Heated Mittens
Snowdeer is another popular brand in the heated apparel market and their heated gloves were our favorites. These mittens are just as impressive as the gloves. Made from water resistant polyester with a sheep leather palm and super comfortable fleece liner, these mittens will keep your hands dry and warm.
The infrared fiber heating elements cover the back of the hands as well as your fingers up to the fingertips. The 7.4V 2200MAH rechargeable li-ion batteries can keep these mittens warm for 6 hours on low and around 2.5 hours on high. The adjustable Velcro on the wrist helps keep the heat in and there is a small pocket to keep a credit card, cash or even your car key.
The reviews for these mittens were excellent with most reviewers loving the heat they produced as well as how comfortable they are to wear. The main complaints revolved around some defective batteries or mittens. However, numerous people commented on how quickly customer service solved their issue. These mittens are an excellent choice and we feel you can buy them with confidence as Snowdeer stands behind their product.
WILDYAK Unisex Heated Mittens
These mittens are both comfortable and provide great heat. While this was the first Wildyak product we have reviewed, these mittens were a big hit. They are made from sheep leather which makes them very durable as well as wind and waterproof.
The heat zones in these mittens cover the entire back of the hand and up the fingers, keeping the mittens nice and toasty. The battery can take the heat up to 140°F so your hands will always be warm. The battery life runs about 6 hours on low and up to 3 hours on high so one of the longer lasting batteries of the mittens we examined.
