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.

I was using heated gloves and heated glove liners, but found that they use heat because they are poorly insulated to begin with. This included gloves worth a few hundred dollars.

Now i use pogies and more comfortable (thin) gloves, and can bike when it's -20C with the wind chill for a few hours.

Basic, cheap neoprene ones work ok, and the ones that are fluffy on the inside work even better.
