Hot Hands — Heated gloves are nothing new, but the Outdoor Research Lucent Heated Glove made us double-take. Not only do they offer a lifetime guarantee (a rare and refreshing thing to see in the outdoor/electronics world) but the gloves have 24 inches of heating element that snakes throughout the hand, ensuring adequate heat.
The battery lasts 2.5 hours on high heat (8 hours on low) and is rechargeable via a wall plug. We tried the glove on while on the show floor. Within seconds our hands started to sweat.
