I have multiple other pieces from Ororo and they all work fantastic so despite some reviews I decided to give these a try because I have wanted them for a bit and finally saw a bit of a sale. They do get warm but it seems like it is almost all on the back of the hand and is not very warm overall. They are also very long and kept turning off under my coat. Even when they didn’t, I felt virtually no warmth in the fingers. To be fair, I never tried with the outer gloves because I wanted the slim profile of the under gloves with the heated component. Overall, I would recommend other from the Ororo brand but these unfortunately fell short.

I have neuropathy and arthritis in my hands, and cold makes the tingling and achy feelings worse. These rechargeable, heated gloves were recommended to me by my physical therapist, and they really help. They were an expensive investment, but I’m so glad I bought them (size Small). Sometimes wearing the heated liners for a few minutes - even in the house - makes all the difference, and enables me to use my hands with less pain and tingling. The three temperature settings let me customize the warmth I need, and the Velcro closure at the wrist helps when taking the gloves on and off easily. The full glove design, as opposed to fingertip-less compression gloves, provides soothing heat to all parts of the hand. And the touch pads on the tips of the liner makes them tech ready. The gloves come with both a US and European charger plug. The only downside is that there is a warning on the packaging that the lithium batteries for the gloves can’t be taken on planes, so I won’t be able to take these on international trips.

As I'm getting near 60 years old (yikes -- that can't be right, can it?), my circulation in my fingers is getting worse. Skiing, even using hand warmers, meant two-three runs before popping in to warm up.These gloves keep my fingers warm. Once you use them the first time, then it is pretty easy. The only complaint is, the two glove system means my grip isn't as solid (they are quick thick), but it's a worthwhile trade-off to have warm fingers.Recommended them to my very skinny daughter --she loves to ski, but hates the cold. She's used them in Colorado for both hiking and skiing this winter. Really liked them as well.

These gloves seem decent quality, but are too small. The outer shell is more like my size. The inner liners are tight and them both together are too tight. Them seem decently warm, I was expecting them to be warmer though with all that I have heard about this company through other people. I'm VERY DISAPPOINTED that they do not sell XL on Amazon. That makes no sense since they have XL on their website. These are made in China and were shipped from China to me. Probably part of the reason why they run small.

These just showed up on 11JAN21 and I rode with them this morning to work when it was 23F/-5C. I have Barkbusters VPS on my 1250GSA with heated grips. In other words, wind only hits my knuckles. Normally on mornings like this, my fingers are close to numb by the end of my morning commute and I'm ready to get off the bike.I purchased these for cold-weather riding because they are two parts - heated inserts and outer shells. I figured if the outer shells are not optimal for manipulating motorcycle controls, then I can always use the inserts in a larger riding glove.I ONLY USED THE HEATED INSERTS THIS MORNING - no outer shells at 23F/-5C - and it was easily tolerable for the 15 minute ride. Seriously. Coupled with my heated grips and Barkbusters, I was comfortable and probably could've ridden another 20 minutes with only the inserts.At the moment, the outer shells are a bit too puffy for me to confidently manipulate the controls on my bike. No fault of Ororo - I am just very picky when it comes to feeling my controls. I am sure it can be done and I intend on giving it another try once the outer shells are broken in. I will likely update this review after more riding time. It should be below 40F during the day with the morning rides in the low 20's all week. Perfect time to test these gloves.Fit is comfortably snug and the dexterity of the inner shell is impressive. The battery pack is on the palm-side of the wrist and does not seem to interfere with regular use. The placement of the battery makes the weight of the battery barely noticeable. Very comfortable.These gloves look and feel to be very high quality. I am an avid outdoorsman and some of the best, high-cost, non-heated gloves pale in comparison to the craftmanship of these.As of this review, all facets of these gloves are 5-star. I will likely update this review at the end of the week. More to follow.*UPDATE* 16JAN21I've put about 3 hours of total riding time with these gloves - temps as low as 21F and as high as 40F. Since then, I lowered my original 5-star rating to 4-stars. Here's why.Power button is easily turned on or off when the gloves are inside a jacket sleeve. The sleeve of my riding jacket was tight enough to press the button. I prefer my gloves on the inside of my sleeve. This would cause the heating element to turn off or change heat settings while I was riding. Loosening my sleeve would allow the frigid air into the jacket - stultifying the point of cold weather riding gear.When the outer shells are used with the inner gloves, the set is too bulky to manipulate motorcycle controls. Aside from the minimum dexterity, the bulk of the over-the-wrist portion was too big to be tucked in the jacket sleeve and too small to comfortably go over the jacket sleeve.The real reason why I dropped 1-star is because the inner lining of the heated gloves has already starting separating from the outer layer. The gloves are still in tact, but with frequent use, I can see these gloves becoming a pain to remove or coming apart all together. Regardless, if I am careful when I remove them, I'm sure I have several comfortable riding seasons ahead.All in all, I'm still happy with them and will keep them. I know these gloves were not exclusively designed for motorcycle riding. However, I will likely use the inserts with a more ADV-style outer glove while using the entire Ororo glove set when I'm hunting or camping.Still recommended.

Great gloves, very comfortable, like the fact you can use the heated liner gloves in other gloves, like leather motorcycle gloves. Excellent customer service. Highly recommended.

I use these gloves outside working on a film crew. The inner gloves with the battery allow me to work with fine equipment. They also have a grip pad in the palm. When I am not handling something delicate, but need to stay warm, with more protection,the outer , heavier gloves are ideal. This combo set would be great to use on a motorcycle, or snow mobileThe gloves are very well made, offering warmth, comfort and good battery life. The glove sets and two batteries come in a convenient carry case that is practical and well made. The charger provides two connections, enabling you to charge both batteries at once. This is one of the best bits of winter work gear I own.

I bought them as I'm trekking Kilimanjaro soon however I've been trying them out cycling minus the outer gloves which are too bulky for cycling. Despite the inner gloves being quite thin my fingers have not felt the cold even when it got down to -1 C. My fingers would normally have been totally numb in that kind of cold. I don't know yet how many hours I'll get out of the battery on high heat but I'm thinking about 3 hours.

I ordered these gloves because I have reduced circulation in my fingers due to a childhood incident of mild frostbite add arthritis to that and the heat in the fingers was really important. I liked the idea of a 2 tier system so I could use the liners when I needed to give my dogs hand signals.I tried these as soon as I got them, in the house in early Nov. Firstly, I suggest you wait for the pre-heat before donning them. I didn’t and the first thing I noticed was the heat across the back of the hand, the largest area of heat. I thought the fingers weren’t working but what I found when I removed them & then put them back on was that my fingers did feel warmer. I waited for the red flash to stop, and put them back on. You can’t choose your heat setting until the pre-heat flashing ends, so be patient. The heat on the back of the hand is noticeable as a warm patch where the heating elements are, but I didn’t feel the heating elements in the fingers. It was working, though, as when I removed the gloves I could feel the warmth in my fingers. It was just not so hot that it was obvious.I mentioned arthritis. This means that I don’t have a lot of strength in my fingers. I used to train horses & could hold a ¾ ton stallion no problem, but nowadays my grip strength is very low. So when putting the top layer gloves on, there were issues.Firstly, I tried to put the inner layer on after donning my parka. Did not do at all. The parka sleeves were too big for the inner wrist to fit over, I tried to tuck it inside & did OK but couldn’t get my fingers to stay right to the top of the glove fingers which made it impossible to get my fingers into the outer gloves. This is made more difficult because the outer glove wrist doesn’t fit over the heavy parka wrist.Next I put the inners on & then the outers which are quite bulky for me & then tried to put on the parka. No go. With the outers on, my hands were too thick to get through the end of the sleeves.So next I put the inners on, donned the parka & tried to put the outers on. I was able to manage the first hand but couldn’t get my fingers fully into the second outer glove. No matter how hard I tried I couldn’t get my fingers all the way into the fingers of the outer glove. That’s because the glove wrist wouldn’t fit over my heavy parka wrist easily and the lack of dexterity in the gloves wouldn’t let me get a grip on the second glove. The one that I could completely don, was really thick and I could barely move my fingers. Arthritis, remember. You might be stronger than me. I tried to roll the cuffs back on the outer gloves & still couldn’t get my fingers into them, so it’s not that the cuffs stop me.So what I ended up doing was using the inners with a pair of light gloves that I already owned. My hands were nice and comfortably warm while I cleared the driveway. It was only -15C out so not really too cold but without the liners it would have meant doing about 1/3 of the driveway, going into warm up and repeat until done. Disposable hand warmers don’t work in this case as it’s my fingers that need the heat more than my palm.Where the outers & inners will work together is winter agility classes. They are held in an unheated arena. What I’ve had to do in the past is use hand warmers in my pockets to thaw my hands in between runs when I remove my gloves. I can get the outers & inners on over my lighter coat and use the inners only when running the dog. With the inners alone I can signal the dog but not with bulky outers. That’s what I was hoping for so I don’t have to use disposable hand warmers.Final answer: if you have strong fingers, you could be better off than me. I find the outers too bulky/stiff to do much in when paired with the inners. They do well as gloves by themselves, though. The Inners can be paired with lighter waterproof outers for people like me who want to bend their fingers but don’t have strength to move the full set together. The heating system is wonderful, the gloves themselves are just too bulky and stiff for me.
