Nothing’s worse than cutting some sweets turns on
the hill and having the experience compromised by very cold fingers. OK, there are a few things worse. Being caught in
an avalanche, slammed into a tree and having angry squirrels eat your eyeballs while you’re unconscious, well, that’s
worse. But being cold is still a drag.
Now over the years I’ve seen my share of remedies for cold
extremities. Remember those little shake and bake bags you could buy and stuff into your gloves. They were pretty good,
but they didn’t last very long and you had to throw them away afterwards and besides they really didn’t reach into your
glove fingertips.
Well, check out the Zanier Heat-GX
gloves. Each hand is powered by a rechargeable 4 oz. lithium battery that can be configured in a trio of heat
settings at are 86º, 98.6º, and 131º…(really, 131 degrees?). The batteries last for 10, 4.5 and 2
hours respectively, which means you’re likely gong to have to cart around a lot of extra batteries, esp. if you want
that uber-hot setting. And what’s the price of comfort? 250 bones.
