Hi Sue, thank you for your feedback.
For improved warmth, we generally recommend pairing the heated gloves with shell gloves, as the outer shell helps block wind and better retain heat around the fingers, especially in colder or windy conditions. Many customers find this combination enhances overall performance.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and your feedback has been noted as we continue working to improve our products and usage guidance. Thank you for your patience.
“Four stars minus, but do read on for the why. First, thank you for a product that keeps these six decade old hands from being frozen while snow skiing. I used them inside new Hestra gloves and the Ororo outer glove and while I won't say my hands were toasty, they were warm enough for skiing in the intermountain west where I live, and where skiing temps this time of the year run from single digits to the mid twenties. For this I would recommend them with a few caveats. The days I've used them started around 5 degrees and warmed to around 15 in the afternoon, for context.
The battery pack sits inside the wrist and while that doesn't impede a pole plant, it did mean the gauntlet on the Ororo outer glove was very stretched and not easily pulled over the outer coat layer and the battery pouch. I would recommend ordering a size up if buying the outer glove also. Also, it meant that I unknowingly changed the temperature setting several times, this seems very easy to do. I will watch more closely in the future to avoid closing the coat cuff on the selector button. Other than those two items, the liner performed acceptably.
My suggestion to ORORO would be to offer a slimmer battery pack with a reduced life, I believe this would be acceptable for some of us. These could be easily switched out mid-day and then I recommend moving the temperature controller to the back of hand to improve accessibility and away from outer coat cuff closure.
Nevertheless, I would recommend the ORORO heated glove liners to keep those cold clear days on your skiing calendar. They work well of other winter outings also, like walking the dog, warming the car, you know winter activities.”

“I love the heated gloves. They keep my hands warm! I got the small. They are a little big actually. They fit but not snug, I have trouble using the finger tip on my phone because the gloves do not fit snug.”
“I had such high hopes. I put these liners into my leather Hestra gloves (size 8) and they fit fine, but the first thing I noticed was how bulky the batteries were. No mind, if they kept my fingers from freezing while skiing I could live with the bulk. Unfortunately, they did not. After a full night of charging they produced a little warmth for less than an hour before the battery died on one, and the other seemed to stop producing heat. The one that died first never turned back on even though I charged the battery again. Such a dissapointment. Returned.”
“I love the liners because they are not bulky, however I do have an issue fitting them under my parka because the sleeve are tapered, so I I need to remove my glove, I can't easily get it back on because the battery compartment doesn't fit. A different way to do the battery would be great. Also, the batteries don't seem to last too long, but I also only wear in sub 20 degree weather.”
