Everything You Need to Know About Heated Products

What Are Heated Products?

Heated products are clothing and accessories designed with integrated heating elements, usually made of carbon. They’re powered by small rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, a technology that became widely used in skiing in the 2010s when lighter, longer-lasting batteries made heated socks, gloves, and vests practical for everyday use. Connected by thin wiring and controlled with simple settings or even Bluetooth apps, they provide steady, adjustable warmth. Today’s heated gear is lightweight, discreet, and as stylish as non-heated apparel.

Types of Heated Products

Heated gear comes in many forms. Here are the main options available at Oberson:

Heated Socks

Equipped with thin heating elements, heated socks provide steady warmth where many skiers and snowboarders need it most. Many are made with merino blends for moisture management and connect to small rechargeable batteries that clip neatly to the cuff.

To learn more about heated socks, see our blog article “A Definitive Guide for Choosing Heated Ski Socks.”

Heated Gloves and Mittens

These keep your hands warm and comfortable without sacrificing dexterity. Slim heating wires run through the glove, powered by lightweight batteries at the wrist.

Heated Vests and Jackets

By warming the core, heated vests and jackets help regulate body temperature across your whole system. With multiple heating zones and adjustable settings, they can be worn as a mid layer on the slopes or as outerwear for everyday winter use on warmer days.

Heated Insoles

A great option for keeping your feet warm, heated insoles slip into your boots for targeted warmth underfoot.

Accessories

Accessories, such as spare batteries, chargers, reusable hand warmers, and boot dryers, ensure lasting comfort throughout the season.

How to Use Heated Gear?

Heated products are simple to use. They run on small rechargeable batteries (often USB, sometimes brand-specific chargers) that connect to heating elements built into the fabric. Just slip them on, power up, and choose your heat setting with a button or, in some models, a Bluetooth app. For best results, start on the lowest setting and increase only as needed. You should feel comfortable, warm, and dry, not like you’re lounging on a sunny Caribbean beach. Overheating can cause you to sweat, and damp clothing can quickly make you cold again.

How Long Do Heated Products Last?

Most heated products offer between three and eight hours of warmth, depending on the heat level selected and the outdoor temperature. You can extend that heat window by switching off heated clothing when you don’t need an extra boost. For longer days outside, spare batteries are a smart addition for a backup power source.

When to Use Heated Gear?

Heated products are designed for skiing and snowboarding, but their benefits go far beyond the slopes. They can save the day for people who tend to get cold or for those who want to get out in the coldest conditions. They make long winter hikes or camping trips more comfortable, help kids stay outside longer (a key use for parents who want more time on the slopes!), and keep hunters, fishers, and outdoor workers warm through the coldest days. Even après-ski evenings on the patio feel better with steady warmth. Whenever the temperature drops, heated products help you stay active and enjoy winter.

How to Care for Heated Products?

Taking care of heated gear is simple. Always remove the batteries before washing any items and follow the manufacturer’s care instructions to protect the heating elements. For offseason storage, keep batteries in a cool, dry place at about half charge. Every few months, run a full charge and discharge cycle to keep them in good condition.
