The Seirus HeatTouch Hellfire Magne Mitt solves a common winter dilemma: choosing between the warmth of a mitten and the dexterity of a glove. This heated mitt features a unique magnetic closure that runs from the thumb to the fingertips. With a simple motion, the front of the mitt can be folded back, instantly freeing all four fingers for tasks like operating a smartphone, adjusting gear, or handling zippers, before snapping securely shut again. This design maintains the thermal efficiency of a traditional mitten, where fingers share warmth, and enhances it with a hidden heating panel that wraps over the fingers and back of the hand. The heating system is notably efficient, offering up to twelve hours of runtime on its lowest setting, which is among the longest in its category.
The construction uses a soft goat leather exterior with a velvety fleece lining and a medium layer of insulation throughout. The split battery design allows for good articulation at the wrist. A mid-length gauntlet with a cinch helps keep snow out. The main drawback is that for optimal use when frequently exposing fingers, adding a thin liner glove is advised for comfort and to manage moisture, but one is not included. This mitt is a superb choice for skiers, snowboarders, and winter enthusiasts who value maximum warmth but occasionally need quick, convenient access to their fingers without the hassle of removing their entire handwear.
