I don’t know about you, but I rarely get cold when I’m skiing or snowboarding down the mountain. You’re zigging, you’re zagging, and you’re jumping, and your body stays toasty. But when you’re at the bottom, waiting in the long lift lines, that’s a different story. That’s when you start thinking, “Gee, if only I had heated liners for my gloves.”
Well, now those thoughts can turn into reality.
These battery-heated glove liners from ActivHeat heat along the sides of all your fingers and your thumb. The liners can be tucked into your existing gloves (no need to get rid of your favorites), ready to warm up your hands at the flick of a switch. Hi, Lo, and Off are your options, so it should be easy to keep your fingers at just the right level of toasty-warmness.
It takes 3 x AA batteries per side to operate the heated liners, so better buy in bulk. While I’d probably use them for skiing, they can be used for any sport that has you outside with numb fingers (winter jogging, bicycling, etc.).
The company has two different models of liners, which run $165 and $220.

For skiing or boarding you are better off with the freedom weightless battery heated glove liners which start at $69.99 +. I would not recommend the wrist pack version for active sports.
