Scores by category

Heated glove with a 7.4 V lithium battery in each glove, three heat levels (120 to 240 minutes according to Alpinestars), Drystar membrane, PrimaLoft insulation and EN 13594:2015 Level 1.

Why it stands out

The HT-5 has heating elements in the back and fingers powered by a 7.4 V lithium battery in each glove. Each hand is adjusted separately on three levels, and on the outside it has everything a good winter glove needs: Drystar and PrimaLoft.

Key figures

  • Certified to EN 13594:2015 Level 1.
  • From 120 minutes (highest) to 240 minutes (lowest) of heat, according to Alpinestars.
  • Goatskin palm, hard knuckle and touchscreen fingertips.
  • Long cuff.

Our verdict

For daily riding in serious cold, nothing in our comparison is warmer. For occasional winter rides, a winter glove like the Tourer W-7 V2 is enough and simpler.
