Heated ski gloves

Humans are homeotherms: living beings whose average temperature remains constant, independent of the surrounding environment. Resisting cold, adapting to heat, permanently maintaining an internal temperature around 37°C, regardless of metabolic level or ambient temperature—that's the principle of thermoregulation. When a person is exposed to cold for too long, their body can become unable to maintain an adequate temperature to function properly. If their oral temperature drops below 35°C, the person is in hypothermia. Conversely, hyperthermia is characterised by an elevation of body temperature caused by an accumulation of heat. This is a phenomenon that occurs particularly in cases of heatstroke or heatwaves. Too much cold or too much heat then becomes a source of discomfort, and can even lead to injuries such as frostbite.

Feet and hands are the first body parts affected by the sensation of cold, mainly due to decreased blood circulation at these levels. In addition to a local cold sensation, this creates a loss of mobility and overall body fatigue. The brain, alerted by this unpleasant sensation, triggers an influx of energy to warm hands and feet, without success for the most sensitive people. For example, people with Raynaud's disease (3 to 12% of men and 6 to 20% of women are affected). This is then followed by a sensation of weakness accompanied by shivering.

Beyond heated gloves for skiing, other products help you stay protected from the cold during winter sports.

• The classics: leather and wool – These materials are renowned for their excellent thermal insulation.
• The technical options: Gore-Tex – They protect you from wind and moisture, but can be slightly less warm.
• Technology at your service: heated gloves – G-Heat gloves, for example, are equipped with an integrated heating system for optimal and consistent warmth.

To find the perfect gloves, you need to look more closely at:

• Padding: The more insulating material, the warmer you'll be.
• Waterproofing: Essential for keeping your hands dry in snowy conditions.
• Breathability: To prevent perspiration and keep your hands dry.

G-Heat gloves combine all these qualities!

To make sure you choose the ideal size, take a few measurements:

• Hand length: From the tip of your middle finger to your wrist.
• Middle finger length: To check finger length.
• Hand circumference: Without the thumb, to determine your palm width.

Ski gloves are one of the key pieces of equipment for skiers, as cold hands can quickly ruin a day on the slopes. The heated ski glove falls into the category of winter gloves: it can be used without the battery when weather conditions are milder.

The removable battery, located at wrist level, powers small filaments distributed throughout the glove. You can adjust the temperature via the battery, which sits in a small pocket on the back of the hand, so it doesn't interfere with use. These ski gloves are easily rechargeable and offer battery life of up to 6 hours.

Warm ski gloves are an undeniable asset for your comfort and safety when practising winter sports. Some people with Raynaud's syndrome experience severe pain in their fingertips, which shouldn't prevent them from enjoying winter pleasures. Whether you need very warm women's ski gloves or men's ski gloves, it's an essential accessory not to be overlooked.

Heated ski gloves must be comfortable and waterproof – that's undeniable – but they must also allow good mobility and offer ideal thermal insulation. G-Heat heated ski gloves, with a double adjustment strap and drawstring, ensure perfect waterproofing for your winter outings. The touchscreen index finger and windproof lining perfectly combine comfort and efficiency.

The heated ski glove is the skier's safety asset, as perfect grip allows them to be operational in case of emergency. Don't forget that cold and snow, over long periods, can damage hands which become less effective. So opt for a good pair of heated gloves to protect yourself from the cold and warm your hands during your ski trips.

Before first use, you must fully charge the batteries for 12 hours. Subsequently, it's advisable to recharge your batteries before and after each use to get the best from your heated ski glove.

It's also important to charge your batteries properly at the end of each winter season or before any long storage period. It's strongly recommended to charge them at least every 3-4 months.

To properly maintain and clean your heated ski gloves, a few rules must be followed:

• Hand wash in clean water; do not immerse heated gloves
• Do not consider tumble drying them
• Make sure to remove the battery before washing
• Do not wring the gloves to avoid damaging the heating system
