Should I buy heated gloves from Snowlife, Lenz or Bergfritz?

Snowlife is considered an absolute classic in Switzerland and has been active in this segment since 1973. If you need your gloves regularly and are prepared to invest in a high-quality product, then Snowlife is certainly your first choice.

Lenz is considered the leading brand for heated socks and also makes really high-quality gloves. If you already have heated socks from Lenz and want to control everything via the Lenz Heat app, then this is a very good choice.

With its own models, Bergfritz offers you proven quality at very fair prices. The gloves are carefully made and the heating time of the batteries is impressive. We receive very positive customer feedback.

Should I buy finger or mitten gloves? Which is better for heat retention?

Our experience shows us that women often prefer mittens and men tend to prefer gloves.

Simply choose what you feel comfortable with.

Mittens are often said to keep you warmer (because there is only one room). The situation is slightly different with heated gloves:

Only Snowlife relies on one space or has no subdivision at all between the individual fingers, even on the inside.

Lenz and Bergfritz gloves are designed so that the fingers still have a separate space inside. This allows more heating loops for balanced and regular heating.

Snowlife: What models are available and what are the differences?

Snowlife offers you classic and very warm gloves for winter and snow sports.

The current model series is the DT series, which is available as finger and mitten gloves. The models are available in a narrower women's cut as well as in a men's cut.

Snowlife has recently introduced the BIOS Heat DT, a thinner model for winter leisure activities. However, because the lining is thinner here, the battery is put under a lot of strain. Nevertheless, the model is perfect for motorcyclists and cyclists (commuters), paragliders, walkers, market people or tourers and cross-country skiers. The feel is better for doing something with your hands. The BIOS in the name stands for Bike, Outdoor and Snow.

I suffer from Raynaud's syndrome - Do the heated gloves have the desired effect?

With Raynaud's syndrome, you suffer from cold due to a disturbed blood supply in the fingers and partly in the toes.

Please note the following:

A fitting is only possible to determine the size. Unfortunately, worn gloves (used gloves) cannot be exchanged!

Of course, all gloves and especially heated gloves help to alleviate the problem. However, we deliberately do not want to raise exaggerated hopes here. Numerous customers confirm an advantage over normal gloves. At the same time, however, these customers also state that the problem could not be completely solved with heated gloves. We always recommend using conventional disposable heating elements in addition.

We would like to refer you to this article by one of those affected, where the Heat 3 Smart from The Heat Company is recommended as the best glove for this specific purpose. Unfortunately, this glove is not in our range.
