Reviews & Ratings for Outdoor Research Lucent Heated Gloves - Mens — 6 reviews — Page 1

Have used it when snowboarded last week and it did the trick. I always have an issue with the tips of my fingers freezing up and turning white.

I was able to prevent that from happening especially that I can control what temp in my gloves!

Recommend this for anyone suffering from same.

I have struggled for years to keep my fingers warm. I can't say that the lucent gloves keep my fingers hot, but they keep them them warm enough to be useful. I bought an extra set of batteries, so I don't even worry about how long they last. At 15 degrees F I can ski all day on medium. I wish there was a better connection between the battery and the glove as well as a soft nose wiping pad, but couldn't be happier with the ability to keep my fingers warm in the Vermont winter.

Thank you so much.

I think these gloves would be pretty good for anybody who doesn't normally suffer from very cold hands. The gloves are decent (lined with Gore-tex) and as good as most even without the heating element. The issue is, I think most people (like me) purchasing an item like this are doing so because they've been frustrated by most everything else on the market. Putting a little electricity behind it seemed like a potential solution.

So my honest assessment is that these gloves work pretty well at reasonable temperatures (20-30F) but only IF you keep them on the highest setting. The problem there is that they run for about 2 hours on that highest setting. My solution was to buy a second pair of batteries ($30) so that I can get maybe 4 to 5 hours out of them. I obviously don't need to keep them on all the time but on a cold day, the only time they are off is when I'm in the lodge eating or resting.

Battery technology just isn't there yet to call these a reasonable solution to people with very cold hands. Even on the highest setting, you better hope it's not a really cold day in the teens or lower. If I place a Little Hottie chemical heat pad on each palm in addition to turning them on the highest setting, I can get through a half-day fairly comfortably. I'll probably end up buying a pair of expedition mittens next season for the colder days. I borrowed a friend's pair a few weeks back and although dexterity goes out the window, at least my hands were pretty warm most of the tim...

bought these for my son who lives and snowmobiles near Denali Alaska. Nothing has ever kept his fingers warm until these gloves. He bought a spare set of batteries so he can be put all day without needing a recharge. Worth every bit of the price to not have the day end due to cold hands

They haven't arrived yet..... 5 days late and waiting for response from Campsaver.
