Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I cycle around Chicago. I like to go about 50 miles and I'm not particularly fast so I may be out 3-4 hours, often below freezing. Chemical hand warmers gave me uneven results: too hot or too cold in some places. These gloves are the first way I've found to be comfortable. And I think there's an emotional component too. If my hands aren't warm, it's hard to enjoy being outside. The three settings seem to change the target temperature rather than directly changing the amount of heat generated. That's good! If your hands are already warm or it's not that cold outside, then the heaters don't have to work as hard. I've started using these gloves for everyday things like walking from the commuter train to my office building downtown Chicago. It's great to arrive at your desk each morning with warm hands. Aside from the heating, the construction quality of the gloves seems to be very good. I've been using them heavily for a few months and I see no signs of wear. I'd advise using some care when removing the battery packs for charging. The wiring and connector that stays in the glove does have a strain relief, but it looks to be a stress point that could wear over years of use. It'll likely outlast the rest of the gloves if I'm careful when changing the battery packs. I found that Roger Cheung roger@eigday.com at the manufacturer was very helpful by E-Mail when I wanted to order extra battery packs for long rides.
