The heating elements in Outdoor Research’s Prima Volta battery-heated gloves can get so hot that they’ll actually brand your hands with a white-hot OR logo. In light of such news, OR is going through a voluntary recall of their Prima Voltas. It’s really not that big of a deal since the gloves are outrageously overpriced so they’ve probably only sold about 10 pairs. So far only one person has been burned by the gloves, so you can keep them and just lower the heat setting unless, you know, you’re a total nancy.
