When you are in cold environments, you need the dexterity of fully functional fingers and toes to keep you safe. Heated gloves and heated socks can mean the difference between a comfortable trip and potential frostbite.
What are heated gloves and heated socks?
Heated gloves and heated socks are electric appliances that provide heat to your hands and feet, respectively. They can be turned on to keep hands or feet warm, or turned off when you don't need them.
Heated gloves feature a thermal lining inside of a glove shell with a lithium battery pouch sewn into the lining. Heated socks have a fabric channelling to carry current from the batteries to the heating element inside of a sock.
They're typically worn under your outer layers of clothes to keep hands or feet comfortably warm inside the insulated glove shell or sock fabric. The battery packs that power the gloves and socks can be recharged using a USB adapter (which can connect to a wall outlet or a car adapter).
