Klimate eFire Gauntlet Glove
Klim
Klim's heated snowmobile gauntlet pairs a three-level battery heating system with full-hand 3M Thinsulate insulation, so it still insulates when the heat is off. Heat runs across the back of the hand and the fingertips, the battery now connects by USB-C with a charge-level indicator, and a bump shield guards the button against accidental mode changes. **Highlights** - Battery heat plus real insulation, not one or the other - Five fingers keep throttle, brake and zipper control - USB-C battery with charge indicator **Watch-outs** - Priciest glove here - Batteries add weight and need charging between days Research only: Wild10 has not field tested this model. Specs and prices come from the maker page, checked November 2026.
