I’m thinking about picking up a pair of heated gloves; more specifically, heated glove liners. I’d prefer something a little thinner but durable enough to use without gloves over the top of them.
Any recommendations, brands or features to look for? I think some of them have elements up and down each finger, that’s what I want, rather than something that just sits on the back of the hand.
Amazon is of course full of highly rated options but we all know what their ratings are worth.

I was using heated gloves and heated glove liners, but found that they use heat because they are poorly insulated to begin with. This included gloves worth a few hundred dollars.
Now i use pogies and more comfortable (thin) gloves, and can bike when it’s -20C with the wind chill for a few hours.
Basic, cheap neoprene ones work ok, and the ones that are fluffy on the inside work even better.
for biking get over bar mitts too. you don’t need the clunky shell that makes your hands sore to ride with, and the wind chill won’t blast away all your glove heat and drain the battery super fast, depending on the circuitry of the heated glove anyway.
Just bought these, didn’t yet get them. Will report. https://a.aliexpress.com/_EwBaauk
One of the only nice things about Amazon is the return policy in the first thirty days. Sometimes those cheap knockoffs are worth the $8.
I prefer getting my cheap crap on AliExpress. Returns are off the table (at least in my country, yours might be luckier), meaning you have to be careful about what you get, but I’ve had better success rates there on Amazon. The cheap sellers on Amazon get their crap from Alibaba anyways so might as well cut out the middleman, right?
Good point. The prices are much lower on the direct Chinese sites, too. If you want you can even go the other direction and pay 10-15% more by buying from Amazon drop shippers on ebay.
