Cold Hands? Here’s A Complete Guide to Shopping Heated Gloves
When the weather drops in temperature, your hands are one of the first parts of your body to feel the cold. So, what’s the reason behind this? According to Healthline, your hands cool down because “your body makes sure to keep the blood flowing to your core and vital organs to keep them warm.” Less blood will flow through your hands and feet, hence making them cold. Freezing fingers sometimes don't allow us to perform some activities comfortably and in some cases can even feel painful.
Who has cold hands all year long?
Although most people only have cold hands during winter, some suffer from this all year long. According to the Mayo Clinic, some of the causes of this can be: anemia, Buerguer’s disease, diabetes, frostbite, lupus, Raynaud’s disease, and scleroderma. If you suffer from any of these, you might constantly be searching for ways to keep your hands warm and toasty, even in the summer.
(Learn more about how heated gear can help with Raynaud’s symptoms here.)
How do we deal with cold hands?
Have you warmed up your hands by wrapping them around a hot cup of coffee? Or, do you remember a time you’ve put your hands close to fire to keep them warm? If not, you’ve probably put them inside your pockets. Some people even do it by warming up rocks in boiling water and putting them inside gloves like this. Somehow, we all find a way, because by keeping our hands warm we automatically feel content!
Well, we’ve got great news for you. In case you didn’t know, you can keep your hands warm with just the push of a button! Just like we sometimes need a warm hug, our hands sometimes need to be “hugged” by a pair of gloves. But not any pair of gloves... heated ones are the best (and even better if they’re ORORO!)

“I bought these for my elderly mom who suffers from Raynaud's Syndrome. Her hands get cold during her walks. She loves them. Perfect fit. They warm quickly. Easy for her to charge.” Patti F.
“These gloves have been fantastic when the weather is in the single digits and wind chills are below zero. These gloves prevent me from having my fingers get cold like they usually do when working outside or driving to and from work in the cold. The batteries are not too large or heavy. A great buy!” Kristen A.

Reviews:
“Mid 70's with diabetic neuropathy and near frostbite fingertips from years of -* to low temps outside work. Saw an ad for these and decided to purchase. Nice fit and heating is 'super' for snow shoveling and wrestling with a snow blower! OUTSTANDING PRODUCT.” Bob K.
“Great gloves for snow blowing. My fingers used to get very cold within 30 minutes but now they don't even in single digit temperatures.” William B.
“Used these gloves for the first time 1/31/22. After pruning grapevines for 2.5 hours in 30 degree weather in fleece lined leather gloves my hands were very cold. I switched to the Calgary gloves and within 5 minutes my hands were comfortable and I continued pruning for another 1.5 hours. Second best investment after my Ororo heated vest.” Linda M.
