My first pair of Venture heated gloves

If it wasn't for my whole family being right here in the central portion of the central state in the US, I would SO move to a warmer climate!

I got my first pair of heated gloves in the mail the other day. It was a Christmas present to myself. I ordered the Venture brand gloves that have the rechargeable battery in the gauntlet. I was nervous about spending so much money on them but I think I will be very glad I did. They have heating elements in each finger and the thumb, instead of just the hand, and they will last from 2 - 8 hours on a single charge. There are 4 heat settings and it is easy to change the heat setting when the gloves are on. They are attractive in a black nylon type fabric, with leather palms for a good grip. They seem durable and well made. I ordered a size medium (unisex sizing) and I usually wear a woman's large or xlarge glove. I think there might even be room in them for my thin glove liners if I still need them.
I can't wait for a little warmer weather - even as high as upper 30s or 40 and I will put on my long johns, chaps if needed, hoodie, leather coat, hat, and HEATED GLOVES! That is, as soon as the street is dry and free of ice. :)
I will let you know how they work after I take my first ride in the chill. I wonder what will be the coldest part of me this spring, now that I have the gloves.....
