Heated gloves, any recommendations? (lemmy.world)

I'm thinking about picking up a pair of heated gloves; more specifically, heated glove liners. I'd prefer something a little thinner but durable enough to use without gloves over the top of them.

Any recommendations, brands or features to look for? I think some of them have elements up and down each finger, that's what I want, rather than something that just sits on the back of the hand.

Amazon is of course full of highly rated options but we all know what their ratings are worth.

One of the only nice things about Amazon is the return policy in the first thirty days. Sometimes those cheap knockoffs are worth the $8.

I prefer getting my cheap crap on AliExpress. Returns are off the table (at least in my country, yours might be luckier), meaning you have to be careful about what you get, but I've had better success rates there on Amazon. The cheap sellers on Amazon get their crap from Alibaba anyways so might as well cut out the middleman, right?

Good point. The prices are much lower on the direct Chinese sites, too. If you want you can even go the other direction and pay 10-15% more by buying from Amazon drop shippers on ebay.
