What to look for
1. Where the heat goes
On the job it is your fingers and fingertips that go numb first. All four work gloves at Gløde heat the back of the hand, the fingers and the fingertips. Bertschat also heats the palm, Ororo does not.
2. Protection that matches the task
A warm hand is no use if the glove is worn through in a week. Pick impact protection for steel and tools, a reinforced palm for lifting and abrasion, and a waterproof, well insulated glove for wet work. The product data lists no EN certifications. If your risk assessment requires certified gloves, ask whether a liner underneath is acceptable.
3. Battery life
On low, orange/black lasts about 13 hours, waterproof black up to about 12, reinforced palm up to 10 and impact protection up to 9. High heat runs shorter. The waterproof models start on high and drop to medium after 5 minutes. More on how long the battery lasts.
4. Quick to warm
According to the specs, orange/black, impact protection and reinforced palm are warm in about 10 seconds. Handy when you have just climbed out of the van.
5. Controls and touchscreen
The waterproof black glove has a touchscreen thumb and index finger, the liners have touchscreen fingertips. Use a scanner or phone without taking them off.
6. Trial and warranty
You get a 30-day trial with money-back guarantee and a 2-year warranty. See also repair and warranty.
The gloves reviewed
Heated work gloves waterproof black (Gløde)
The best all-rounder, so it goes first. Waterproof, breathable Hipora membrane, 100 g 3M Thinsulate, fleece lining, silicone grip, reinforced palm and thumb crotch, foam knuckle padding and an elastic hook-and-loop cuff. Good for outdoor work, gritting and the cycle commute.
Heated work gloves waterproof orange/black (Gløde)
The heavy-duty pair: 220 g Thinsulate, velour lining and PVC guards on knuckles, fingers and back of hand. About 13 hours on low, the longest in this comparison. For docks, building sites, gritting and heavy outdoor work. A bit pricier and bulkier, so less suited to fine work.
Heated work gloves with impact protection black (Gløde)
3D PVC guards on the back of the hand and fingers, a synthetic leather palm with 3 mm PU padding and Kevlar for grip. Waterproof and windproof with Hipora, NTC overheat protection. For fitters, construction and warehouses. At about 9 hours the battery life is shorter than the waterproof models.
Heated work gloves with reinforced palm black/yellow (Gløde)
Yellow microfibre with 5 mm EVA padding on the palm and 3 mm EVA on the back. Waterproof with a TPU layer and windproof. For cold stores, warehouses and outdoor maintenance. Up to about 10 hours on low.
Thin heated glove liners (Gløde)
Thin, breathable and stretchy, three settings, carbon fibre heating on the back of the hand and fingers. Wear alone or under your own work gloves. Comes with 2 rechargeable batteries. No protection, but plenty of feel.
Bertschat Gloves PRO Dual Heating
Pros: heats back of hand and palm, up to 65 °C, three battery options. Cons: not machine washable (damp cloth), and it is a ski and winter glove rather than a work glove.
Ororo Glasgow liners
Pros: keenly priced as a liner. Cons: palm not heated, hand wash only, and Ororo gives 1 year on elements and battery for gloves.
Alpenheat FireGloveliner AG1
Pros: two 3000 mAh batteries, 3 to 9 hours. Cons: no price on the brand site and little information on protection.

Frequently asked questions
Can I still handle screws and bolts in them?
The impact and reinforced palm models keep reasonable feel. For very fine work, the thin liners are better.
Are they waterproof enough for a wet British winter?
Both waterproof models have a Hipora membrane. The impact model also uses Hipora, the reinforced palm a TPU layer.
How long does a battery last on a frosty morning?
On low, 9 to about 13 hours depending on the model. Shorter on high.
Do they replace certified safety gloves?
No, the product data lists no EN certifications. Ask your employer what is required.
Can I trial one pair before ordering for the crew?
Yes, with a 30-day money-back trial. Delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days.
Verdict
The waterproof black glove is the best all-rounder. Go orange/black for the heaviest work, impact protection for knocks and reinforced palm for abrasion. The liners are for fine work. See every model in heated workwear at Gløde, rated 4.8 on Trustpilot (237 reviews).
