 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi All,
My OH suffers badly with cold hands/fingers while skiing, and has seen heated 'Thermic Power Gloves' in our local ski store.
He has a birthday coming up in a few weeks time, and we are wondering whether to club together to buy him a pair as it's something that could be a real help to him - if they actually work!
At just under £200, this is quite an investment, so was wondering if anyone is familiar with this glove, and if you can recommend (or not) accordingly...
Thank you!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Bought Mrs Ansta1 a pair of the Blazewear GT6 gloves, well made, nice fit and the batteries aren't too intrusive. Not used in anger yet but quality seems very good and in testing they do seem to get pretty toasty.

We sell the Blazewear stuff and I really rate the heated liners, having used a pair paragliding in the Himalaya at 3-5000m this autumn. However, I don't know how well they would cope with getting wet?

@DoubleD, has he tried just resting them in a warm place every so often.

I have a pair I bought for paragliding but never bothered with them for skiing. I tell to find the batteries run out quickly and they're a bit of a faff. Putting one of those small, disposable chemical warmers in the palm of glove works well though.

As he says. Ours went as the battery life wasn't sufficient. Mitts and tea bags
