Prevail Heated GORE-TEX Glove

NOT worth the money

Nice glove but horrible battery power life. They need to be charged constantly. My gloves last a max of two hours on low setting before the batteries die.

These are nice gloves but they run small so they didn't fit and I wasn't able to exchange them.

Heating was Ineffective

Maybe I got a dud, maybe they aren’t that great. Trying them in my house, they seemed to perform well and I was excited to use them. However, using them on the ski hill with only -2 degrees Celsius weather, the tips of my fingers felt cold. Disappointing, as I suffer from a hand condition where I easily lose circulation and was really hoping that these would be the magic bullet to keep my hands warm as I enjoy the slopes. Other than the heating aspect, the gloves made with quality materials. Not worth the money. Too bad, as I have been purely using OR mitts for over 2 decades.

Unacceptable battery life

Brand new. Less than one hour of battery life. Very disappointed given price.

New is not better.

This is my 3rd pr of these gloves having obtained 2 pr on warranty after switches failed. The gloves suffer from over stuffed linings not thoroughly attached to the shell which makes them difficult to put on, especially while skiing. The overstuffed liner coupled with the elastic wrist cuff traps moisture which frustrates the insulation and results in cold sweaty hands no matter the heat setting. Same problem as the last version. The wrist leashes are too elastic and therefore unreliable to secure gloves while on ski lift and I will be replacing them with the string leashes I salvaged from 1st warrantied pair. The battery cable seems to have been redesigned which may eliminate failures. The battery pocket on recent versions has too small a zipper which necessitates pinching the battery pack to get it in resulting in battery wire failures. This can be reinforced with tape and shoe goo. OR had been great at replacing failed gloves. Please go back to the original design which fit better and provided more functional warmth.

These gloves were defective. The first time I used the gloves the battery in one of the gloves died after less than 2 hours on low. Bench testing in my house, the same battery died after 2 hours and 45 minutes running on low. OR has no quality control.

Amazing gloves worth every dollar

Amazing technology. I spent much more for another brand that i would give zero stars. As a life long skier with raynauds these gloves allow me to ski 50’plus days a year

Waaaay too small

Familiarity:

I returned this product before using it

I always wear a size L in gloves. I can’t get my hand into a size L with this glove, not even close. Returning these, not sure it’s worth ordering the XL since the sizing was so far off.

Very warm gloves

Got these of my husband for a gift- He loved them but they started to tear first time wearing. OR has fantastic customer service and replaced the gloves promptly. Hopefully the other pair was a fluke and the new ones will be sturdier

Great Glove

First pair has to be replaced due to switch malfunction. But customer service came through! And the gloves are great- soft leather, warm, well designed
