Prevail Heated GORE-TEX Mitten

Bought these a few years ago and have replaced the batteries several times now. At the end of ski season last year one quit completely. At the price point it is very upsetting they have not performed well at all. Have recommended to many fellow ski instructors and now regret that decision.

Game changer

Only had an opportunity to wear these once at the end of the season, but I was very happy with how they performed. Hands were nice and toasty. I wear a size 6.5 gloves and the smalls were perfect!

Poor Fit

I had a previous version of the fingered gloves that had a nice wide adjustable cuff. Due to a malfunction in the on off button, I received a pair of the mittens through warranty (they no longer make the fingered version I had). The mittens are very comfortable, but very difficult to get on. The elastic cuff at the wrist is really tight as is the thumb space. From other reviews, I made the decision to upsize and still found the fit in these two areas to be tight. I will, however, finish by saying the warranty process was fantastic!!

Really Work

I made the mistake of saving a few bucks with a product from China. What a disaster. These heated mitts really delivery. The battery life is excellent. Touch the mitt to your face and you won't feel the heat because the heat stays in the mitt instead of escaping to the cold air. The fit is good. The thumb is a tiny bit snug but I like that. Would definitely buy again. The bad circulation in my hands makes these a necessity for a day on the slopes.

A wire broke in one of the mitts resulting in it not working

The mitt that failed was subject to normal wear. The positive supply wire broke near about an inch in from the battery pouch. I attribute the failure to poor design or poor quality control.

Heated Mittens are Great!

I've previously owned two pair of OR Heated Gloves. With my condition, they provide the only way I've been able enjoy the outdoors in the Winter. The mittens do not confine my fingers; they provide extra room to wiggle my fingers and to share the warmth.

Great products.

These mitts are great for hiking during cold temperatures. The battery connectors have been improved from previous generation, in that they are now angled and cause less stress on the wires (connectors in previous generation was creating short circuits and random failures).

Probably not just a little too snug

Use them for skiing Wish I could have purchased XXL

Finally, comfort for cold hands

These mitts are the real deal. I am a skier with cold hands who has tried multiple glove/mitt options, both heated and unheated. This is the first time I have found a pair that gives my hands absolute comfort in all temperatures. It takes a minute to get used to the stiff thumb (as other reviewers have correctly noted), but I am unbothered by this after a few minutes of skiing. If you have chronically cold hands, you should consider these mitts.

Strange fit yet warm and dry

They are warm and dry which I love... They are not sized well - other reviews said that the thumbs are small - and they are VERY difficult to insert your hands for this reason. The rest of the hand area is too long (by 1") for the size they recommend (size 7=small) but I'm afraid if I sized down I wouldn't be able to get my thumb in at all. I would like to see them cut a new template. The battery that comes with them takes overnight to fully charge whereas most of my other power garments are fully charged in 2-3 hours.
