THERM-IC Powergloves 3+1

FIRST

Frankly, it’s hard to have cold fingers with these Therm-Ic Powergloves 3 + 1 gloves. Called the “Lobster”, they have the index free which greatly improves grip compared to a mitten. The heated “Mittens” version is also available in the Therm-Ic catalogue for those who extremely suffer from the cold.

 

The Therm-Ic Powergloves 3 + 1 are fitted with batteries that provide gentle or a lot of heat according to the three levels that you can choose: just press on the thermostat on the top of the hand is enough to adjust the heat.

 

The heat is diffused around the fingers except at the palm of the hand (which makes sense). As with the Therm-Ic socks that we tested, we recommend increasing the temperature gradually and favor a low but constant heat: then you avoid thermal peaks and perspiration.

 

These gloves with their batteries (4 in total) weigh 470g in size 9, given the relative weight, ski hikers are leaning towards other models from the Therm-Ic range, which covers a wide range of products dedicated to skiing in general (mittens, different thicknesses and flexible classic gloves).

 

The Therm-Ic Powergloves 3 + 1 are ideal for extreme cold, static situations in full wind, heliskiing in Canada and any situation requiring high protection. These gloves on their own are already very warm and comfortable. A real treat at the end of the day, when the weather turns bad and temperatures plunge, you are guaranteed protected.

 

The batteries provide up to ten hours heat. Charging is quite fast, just plug the small plug hidden in the zipped slot under the wrist.

 

The gloves are easy to put on thanks to a very practical strap that is easy to handle even with cold fingers. A wrist strap prevents you from losing them.

 

The gloves may be bulky, but they are flexible, and you can use your fingers for essential operations for skiing: putting on pole straps, helmet and mask adjustment, etc. They have a membrane and therefore remain dry inside in wet snow or even the rain.

 

Very well finished, the Therm-Ic Powergloves 3 + 1 have leather inserts on the inside of the hand. We would have liked an additional reinforcement or two at the thumb fold and at the index finger, areas which are always more fragile because they are subject to wear and tear when wearing your skis. These Therm-Ic Powergloves 3 + 1 are only used in very cold conditions anyway, so this limits wear. At more than 250 euros a pair, they must be looked after.

 

You can purchase replacement batteries.

 

These top-end, expensive but very well-designed heated gloves are an incomparable response to the cold. They bring unparalleled comfort to any skier who braves winter conditions. We loved this product and gave it the Test4outside.com FIRST Award.
