Reliable heated protection for extreme cold and wet conditions
Hestra says:
A battery-heated mitten liner with integrated heated panels. Designed for the Hestra Heli Ski Mitt, it also fits many other Hestra mittens with a long cuff and removeable liner. A USB-charged battery and three levels of heat keep fingers toasty in cold temperatures.
Our Verdict
The Hestra Heater Gauntlet Mitts combine premium construction with dependable warmth for those who need guaranteed hand protection in severe weather. Using goatskin leather palms, a waterproof CZone membrane and G-Loft insulation, they offer robust weather resistance and durable build quality. The integrated heating system provides gentle, sustained warmth rather than intense heat, helping maintain comfort without overheating or excessive moisture build-up.
At 382g (Medium) plus 164g for the batteries, they feel solid but not cumbersome once on. The batteries fit neatly into the cuff and are unobtrusive during use. In milder conditions, the mitts perform well even without the power system, functioning effectively as insulated, weatherproof handwear. The gauntlet cut gives strong wrist coverage, and the overall fit balances insulation with freedom of movement. While heated gear adds complexity, the Heater Gauntlet Mitts deliver a dependable, well-engineered solution for those prone to cold hands or tackling damp alpine climates, extended winter treks or ski days in freezing temperatures.
