This is the third pair of Venture Glove Liners I bought for my wife in slightly over two years. The first pair lasted nearly two years. The second pair was "open box", looked new, barely lasted a month. The latest pair is the first of the "Avert" lineup. The gloves are fabulous for the warmth they provide and my wife loves them. But the durability thus far leaves something to be desired (considering the price). My wife has two horses and uses them for barn work 5 - 6 mo of the year, so two years perhaps wasn't so bad. I "reverse engineered" the first pair when they died and found the larger wires in the wrist area had "separated" on both of them (The problem did not appear to be in the "microwires"). That's in the event that the Venture Co. might be listening :-) Because I cut thru the microwires in the process -- I was unable to fix them. In conclusion, the technology is great, but your mileage may vary.

I love these glove liners. This is my second pair. The first pair worked great and held up great, but I eventually wore them out. I tend to use them not only as liners, but without any glove over top, too, so they get a lot of abuse around a barn. The new pair has a slightly different design in the cuff area - an improvement in my mind. Love the three temperature settings. My problem is my fingers get so cold and ache so bad -- these gloves have the heating elements in the fingers also. Perfect! I had a cheaper brand --- they did not work to keep my fingers warm.

I purchased these glove liners because I wanted a combination of gloves that I could wear in everyday cold, but also carry with me if I went to the snow (using additional gloves on top). They definitely don't look too bulky when you wear them, which is great. The touchscreen fingers (index finger and thumb) work well on my phone, and the buttons to engage the heat are easy to touch and clear. I didn't find the heating components to be very strong, unfortunately. In addition, grasping cold items is definitely noticeable, as the lining on the palm side of the gloves are thin.

I ordered these gloves because my fingers can't take temperatures under 20 degrees F for more than 10 minutes without severe pain and eventual numbness no matter what kinds of insulated gloves I wear. I do not officially have a diagnosis of Reynaud's but my mom does and I'm at the age when she was diagnosed so I suspect that's part of my problem. I've only had a chance to use these gloves twice so far in temperatures around 0 degrees F (I don't use them if temps are high enough for me to be okay) and they have worked great! I followed the advice from the manufacturer to preheat these glove liners on High for 5-10 minutes before using them, then turning them to Medium and wearing an insulated glove over them (since they're actually liners) to retain the heat and protect the liners. When putting them on after preheating, they're super warm and toasty. That initial warmth dims after a minute (when turned to Medium) but with the insulated gloves over them, my hands feel just as warm as if I were inside the house, even when I've been outside in 0 degrees F for 20 minutes or more, which would have left me in pain before. I ordered a Small and they're slightly big on my hands (normally a small) considering they are liners, but I can easily buy a larger sized insulated glove to go over them. The material is very comfortable and smooth. The batteries slip easily into pockets on each of the gauntlets (underside of the wrist) and zip securely. They lay flat in the pocket so they do not seem overly bulky and don't flop around from their slight weight because the gloves fit well around the wrists and lower arms. The only downsides I've found are the price and that the batteries do take a while to charge, so plan ahead. This is simply the nature of the batteries they have to use to get them to fit comfortably in the gloves. Make sure to read the instructions about charging times because too long may result in reduced battery life. The price reflects the fact that there aren't that many good quality heated glove/liner options to choose from on the market but these gloves seem to be made very well. If you need them to protect your hands from getting dangerously cold and especially if you need them to heat all the way to the finger tips, I absolutely recommend these.

Only used a week and they are keeping my fingers warm when I have to go outdoors for firewood, feeding animals etc. Has been down to zero and they stay warm on medium setting. One problem was that even as thin as they are, I still needed to go buy a one size larger work glove to accommodate the thicker fingers. Liners are of heavy satin like material. Wires are on each side of the fingers so they don't get worn while using shovel, riding snow mobiles, etc. The batteries easily charge overnight. Shipping was fast and reasonable but the glove liners are pricey.

The gloves provided warmth to my son who opted to deerhunt here on a cold morning. He found the heat to last about 4 hours on a low setting. I have seen other power heated gloves advertised as lasting longer, but am happy with these so far.
