- How long does the battery last?
- Runtime depends on the heat setting. On high it may last only a few hours; lower settings stretch it longer. Carry a spare battery for full ski days.
- Are they waterproof?
- Yes, they have a Gore-Tex waterproof insert and a leather palm. Snow and wet conditions are handled well, but the battery compartment should stay dry.
- Can I use them without the heat on?
- Yes. They work as a normal insulated ski glove with the heat off. The battery adds some weight and stiffness.
- How do they fit compared to other Hestra gloves?
- They run true to Hestra sizing but start stiff due to the heating elements. Try your usual size; they break in after a few days.
- Are they warmer than Hestra's unheated gloves?
- On high heat they add warmth beyond unheated models, but the heat is uneven. For extreme cold, some prefer Hestra's warmest mittens.
- What's in the box?
- You get the pair of gloves, a rechargeable battery, and a charging cable. A wall adapter may not be included.
