It’d be nice to have some battery-heated gloves in case you ever need to dig out of this car and don’t have a shovel or 30 liters of beer handy. Outdoor Research has rolled out their Prima Volta Gloves with built-in lithium-ion battery heaters. These will be a boon for people with terrible circulation, but I imagine they’ll mostly be bought by normal people who don’t know any better. The reason hands get cold is because they get sweaty—pick up some glove liners and 95% of skiers will be fine. The Prima Voltas cost an ungodly $260.
