Sureshot Heated Softshell Glove

Thin enough to feel what you’re doing with your hands but still warm with the heat on. The downside is that when the batteries die the gloves aren’t warm enough for a sub freezing day outside for extended periods.

Warm but not Hot

Gloves seam to work well in moderately cold conditions (between 12 and 25 degrees) Not sure about any thing cooler though). Fit is good. A large seams to equate to about 9.5-10. I’ve used them for downhill skiing several times and enjoy the dexterity of a glove whilst keeping my Ranauds syndrome in check . I’ll use them for biking and XC skiing and I expect them to function great. They don’t look super durable but we shall see how they fare. They’re well made but just not stoutly built

Defective Battery

Gloves heat decently. However, one of the batteries only lasts for 50-60 minutes. The other lasts twice as long.

Poor battery performance. New

Unacceptable battery performance. Less than 2 hours in High. 3.5 hours in Medium.

Perfect for people who get cold hands

This is my second pair of heated gloves from OR. My first pair work so well, I needed something a bit lighter. The Sureshot checks that box. Perfect for light to very cold weather (for Wisco that's at and below freezing), for all sorts of use and applications such as casual wear or skiing

Sizing Way Off

I ordered the gloves, using my standard glove size, and they are wa too small.

Better options available

I bought gloves and used twice. Its barely noticeable when gloves are turned on any setting specifically high. Tried in 20 degrees and also in 34. Hands got cold both times. I work on a mtn and usually use basic lined leather gloves and add heater packet if i get cold. Splurged to get heated gloves and sorry i did. These are going back. Also water resistant for about 20 minutes. Drizzle went through them like they were cotton. Very underwhelmed!

Bad batteries or bad gloves

won't heat for longer than 45 mins on LOW. PLUS they are not warm all over the gloves.

WARM

These gloves are awesome. Worth every penny. I use these gloves for hunting, working outside and other outdoor activities. The battery life last longer than I expected, my only thing is there seems to be a slight tightness in the knuckles but not too bad. I have the xl's. I'd recommend this item to anyone. Green is warm enough for me. Red will cook your hands unless you're up in the arctic circle. Keep the batteries charged and they'll last forever.

Beware of Sizing, Run Very Small!

Typically OR gear fits true to size and fits me well. I own various gloves and mittens in size XL and they all fit great. Likewise with OR clothing. However, these particular gloves fit VERY tight. They are NOT XL in size. In addition to being tight everywhere, the fingers are super short. So for a really expensive pair of gloves, I haven't been able to wear them and can't comment on their long term heating ability in the field.
