PEKWZIZ Rechargeable Heated Gloves Review

What stood out in my test

These PEKWZIZ heated gloves do the main thing right: they heat up fast. I turned them on and could feel warmth almost immediately in my hand. On high, they felt hot, including around my fingers. That is the entire point of buying heated gloves, and these didn’t make me wait around wondering whether they were doing anything.

They also work as regular insulated gloves. The lining felt very soft, and they felt warm before I even used the powered heat. Add the padded palm, adjustable wrist and gauntlet closures, removable batteries, and touchscreen fingertips, and this is a practical cold-weather setup rather than a gimmick.

The one thing to keep in mind is simple: high heat burns through battery faster. That is not shocking. It is physics wearing a glove. If you need the longest stated runtime, use the lower settings when you can.

Who these heated gloves are for

I’d look at these if cold hands ruin outdoor time for you. Think football games, hunting, winter walks, skiing, snowboarding, outdoor work, or just standing around in weather that makes your fingers quit before the rest of you does.

They also make sense for somebody who still needs access to a phone. Pulling off a bulky winter glove every time a message comes in gets old fast. I used the index-finger touchscreen material on my phone successfully, and the thumb appears to use similar material.

If your priority is a thin, low-profile glove, this is not really that category. These are insulated, battery-powered winter gloves with a cuff and a battery compartment. The payoff is warmth and coverage.

My hands-on experience: the heat is the headline

I switched the gloves on right as I started using them, and I could immediately feel them getting hot in my hand. That quick response stood out. With heated gear, the frustrating version is when you turn it on, wait, check it again, and wonder if the battery is connected. That was not my experience here.

On the high setting, the gloves felt hot. I could feel heating around the fingers, which matters more than simply warming the back of your hand. Cold fingers are usually the reason you reach for heated gloves in the first place.

There are three color-coded heat levels. Red is high, blue is medium, and green is low. The control scheme is refreshingly basic: hold the button to turn the glove on or off, then press it to cycle through the settings. No app. No menu. No tiny screen to fight while wearing gloves. Good.

The listed temperature ranges are 140–158°F on high, 122–140°F on medium, and 104–122°F on low. Those are manufacturer-stated figures, not temperatures I measured myself, but the high setting was clearly hot in my hands.

They are warm even before you use the batteries

The inside was one of the better surprises. The lining felt very soft and very warm with the gloves powered off. That matters because batteries eventually run down, and because you may not need powered heat every minute you are outside.

I also liked the practical construction details. The palm has a padded grip area, which should be useful when holding ski poles, tools, handlebars, or whatever else you are carrying around in the cold. It is not just smooth fabric across the palm.

Fit adjustment is handled in two places. There is a strap at the wrist to tighten the glove around your hand, plus another adjustable closure farther up around the forearm or gauntlet area. That extra cuff adjustment can help close things up when you are trying to keep cold air out.

There is one extra loop or strap on the glove whose purpose was not obvious to me. It may be useful for hanging or handling the gloves, but I would not buy these based on that detail. Everything else I handled was straightforward.

Battery setup and controls

Each glove uses its own removable rechargeable battery pack. The battery sits in a dedicated pocket and plugs into the glove. I found the pack not especially heavy, which is important because nobody wants a hand warmer that feels like a brick strapped to each wrist.

The battery pack has an indicator for remaining charge, and the connection lights up when plugged in. The package is listed as including two rechargeable batteries and a charging cable, so each hand gets its own power source.

PEKWZIZ lists these as 6000mAh batteries. It also states runtimes of about 2–3 hours on high, 3–4 hours on medium, and 4–5 hours on low with a full charge. Those ranges are useful planning numbers, but I did not run the gloves for a full battery cycle myself. In real use, high heat is the setting to save for when you actually need it.

These are purpose-built battery packs for the gloves, not general-purpose power banks. That is worth knowing before you assume you can use them to charge other gear.

Touchscreen use without exposing your hands

I tested the index-finger touchscreen material with my phone and was able to use it without removing the glove. That is a small feature until you are outside in the cold and need to answer a message, check a map, change music, or grab a quick photo.

The thumb also appeared to have touchscreen material. The index finger is the one I used directly, and it did what it needed to do. That is the practical answer here.

Water resistance and outdoor use

PEKWZIZ says the gloves use a water-resistant outer shell plus a built-in waterproof insert for double-layer moisture protection. The battery compartment is designed to close up around the battery area. I did not take these into snow or rain, so I cannot tell you how they hold up through a wet day.

The manufacturer markets them for skiing, snowboarding, hunting, motorcycling, hiking, fishing, cycling, camping, and outdoor work. That list makes sense for the design: padded palms, adjustable cuffs, insulation, and selectable heat. Still, fit, weather conditions, and how long you need maximum heat should drive the decision more than a huge activity list on a product page.

What I would consider before buying

First, decide how much time you expect to spend on high heat. The stated 2–3 hour high-setting range may be enough for a game, a commute, or an outing, but it is different from expecting all-day maximum heat. Medium and low are the settings PEKWZIZ says should extend runtime.

Second, treat these as substantial winter gloves. That is a positive if warmth is the mission. But if you need delicate fingertip work or the absolute slimmest glove possible, the insulation, padding, and battery system are naturally more than a basic knit glove.

Finally, make sure to choose sizing carefully. A heated glove still has to fit well enough to keep dexterity and comfort. I handled the adjustment points, but I did not compare every available size or use them through several days of outdoor work.

FAQ

Do these gloves heat up quickly?

Yes. I could feel them heating shortly after turning them on, and the high setting felt hot in my hand.

How do you change the heat setting?

Hold the single button to turn a glove on or off. Once it is on, press the button to cycle between red high, blue medium, and green low heat.

Can you use a phone while wearing them?

Yes. I used the touchscreen material on the index finger with my phone. The thumb also appears to include touchscreen material.

How long do the batteries last?

PEKWZIZ states 2–3 hours on high, 3–4 hours on medium, and 4–5 hours on low. I did not independently run a full battery cycle.

Are they waterproof?

The manufacturer describes a water-resistant outer shell and waterproof insert. I did not test them in snow or rain.

Final recommendation

If you want rechargeable heated gloves that are simple to operate and feel warm even before the electronics kick in, these are an easy recommendation. I liked the fast heat, soft interior, finger warmth, padded palm, adjustable closures, and working touchscreen finger.

Just use the heat settings intelligently. High is there for the rough stuff, but medium or low should make more sense when you are trying to stretch the stated battery runtime. For cold events, winter chores, and outdoor activities where your hands need real help, these PEKWZIZ gloves bring the right kind of practical warmth.
