The Hotronic HeatGlove XLP 2G offers the longest heating times of any high performance winter glove, thanks to the XLP 2 battery packs. Combine this with PrimaLoft® insulation and a waterproof and breathable HIPORA membrane, and the result is one of the best value for money professional heated gloves available.
Along with the extreme battery life offered the HeatGlove offers several other key features:
HEATED ALL ROUND - heating elements wrapping around your finger tipsAll-round heating is necessary to keep fingers really warm. The thin heating wires enclose the fingers on the front - where the fingers are most exposed to the cold. This prevents them from cooling down and the warmth is also most noticeable. This of course requires more power which is where the XLP 2 batteries come in, giving increased performance whilst maintaining battery life.
DISCREET POWER BUTTON - Power button located on the cuff NOT the top of the gloveThe power button which allows 4 heat settings is discreetly tucked away on the gauntlet style cuff. This means less chance of pressing the button in error PLUS a shorter path from the battery pack to the electronics, reducing the risk of wear or damage of wiring.
GOATSKIN PALM - Proven leather for serious wintersports and outdoor use
Goatskin Leather is used by THE leading glove brand that we also happen to sell, on their flagship gloves. Hotronic decided early on not to compromise on the leather choice, for the best combination of durability and protection from the elements plus grip.
PRIMALOFT® INSULATION - The best synthetic insulation for winter glovesAs also featured on leading wintersports gloves, this synthetic insulation provides excellent warmth, is lightweight and quick-drying. PrimaLoft® gloves are particularly useful in cold and wet weather as they keep hands warm AND dry.
ISOLATED BATTERY COMPARTMENT - An easy to use zipped compartment for quick battery charges or swapsThe dedicated battery pocket is the perfect size for the XLP 2 (or smaller XLP 1) batteries, and contains a power connector. The connector is made intentionally tight to avoid the risk of the battery disconnecting (Please note when removing the connector from the battery hold the connector NOT the wire!)
WRIST STRAPS - You don't want to lose these gloves on the lift or slopes!Hotronic include removeable wrist cuffs so you can answer calls or have a drink without risk of dropping your gloves or leaving them behind - so why would you remove them?!
SNOW GAUNTLET CUFF WITH WRIST CORDThe gauntlet design can be worn over or under your jacket sleeve, and features a snow wrist cord to prevent snow getting in when skiing in powder
The XLP Batteries
Thanks to the high-quality lithium-ion batteries, the heating curve does not drop during use. The heat output remains constant and the temperature in the heating elements does not drop until the battery is depleted
The XLP 2G batteries are 4400 mAh, double many competitors batteries, with a charging time from the included USB C charging cable of 5-6 hours from flat. They offer up to 10 hours of heating performance:
- Level 1 - 8-10 hours
- Level 2 - 5-6.5 hours
- Level 3 - 3.5-5 hours
- Level 4 - BOOST (3 minute burst of full power)
The BOOST mode ensures maximum temperature in the shortest possible time. After 3 minutes, the battery automatically switches to level 3 once the glove has been sufficiently heated.
The connection cable for the battery is characterized by a particularly robust and easy-to-use plug connection. With no kinking of the cable, a flexible and hard-wearing sheath protects the wires sufficiently to prevent cable breakage. The battery itself is stored in a neoprene-insulated battery compartment with a sealed zipper. This means that moisture and cold have no chance of harming the battery.
