For long, still hours in the cold, like ice fishing or a game in an arena, combine a heated vest, Peak gloves or mittens, and Merino Wool+ heated socks. For outdoor work, the Mountain gloves and a heated vest under your coat; for skiing, Peak or Mountain gloves with heated socks; for running or fat biking, the Active gloves.
The right setup depends on one thing: how much you move. When you stand still, your body produces less heat and your hands and feet cool down first. When you move, you need less heat and more dexterity.
Ice fishing, hunting and watching games
This is the hardest cold: hours without moving, often on ice or in the wind.
- Hands: the Peak gloves, built for deep cold and wet snow, with Thinsulate™ insulation and a 15,000 mm waterproof membrane. If you do not need your fingers much, heated mittens are even warmer.
- Core: a men's or women's heated vest, with 5 heating zones across the chest and back, worn under your coat.
- Feet: the Merino Wool+ socks heat the toes and the top of the foot for up to 11 hours on low, adjustable by remote from your pocket.
- Hips and thighs: the heated bermuda shorts, worn over a base layer, keep the large leg muscles warm on a cold seat.
On long sessions, start on high, then drop to low once you are warm, and keep a spare battery in an inside pocket.
Construction, snow removal and outdoor work
You move, but you also stop, grab cold tools and handle wet snow.
- Hands: the Mountain gloves, with a genuine leather palm for grip on shovels and handles, and a 10,000 mm waterproof, breathable membrane. Choose Peak for long days in slush or freezing rain.
- Core: the heated vest is light enough to layer under a work jacket, with a water-resistant shell.
- Feet: the midweight Merino Wool+ socks fit in work boots without bunching.
- Legs: the heated bermuda shorts were designed for long days outside at work, with stretch side panels so you can bend, squat and climb.
For full shifts, a second set of batteries from our battery and charger kits keeps you going. The vest and bermuda use a standard USB power bank.
Skiing and snowboarding
- Typical days: Mountain gloves, insulated and waterproof like a good ski glove, with a wrist leash so they stay with you on the lift.
- January cold and wet snow: Peak gloves, with a long cuff that seals out snow.
- Feet: Merino Wool+ socks, made to fit in ski boots without bunching. Toes are the first to go numb in a boot.
- Legs: the bermuda shorts fit under ski pants for cold chairlift rides.
Running, fat biking and cross-country skiing
When you work hard, you want dexterity and a glove that breathes. The Active gloves are slim and stretchy, windproof and water-resistant, with a silicone grip for poles and handlebars and up to 8.5 hours of heat on low. They are not meant for heavy rain or wet snow; for that, choose Mountain or Peak.
