Are cold hands and skiing a thing of the past? Gordini hopes so. Its new Forge Heated Gloves may be the answer to frozen fingers on the slopes.

Companies are throwing batteries into everything these days. Every new piece of gear is getting a digital upgrade, from heated socks and vests to goggles with fans.

If you’re a chronic hand warmer user, you may have considered upgrading to heated ski gloves. But before you go out and buy those new electrically charged mittens, you may want to look at Gordini’s new Forge Heated Ski Glove. Not only do these new gloves keep your fingers toasty warm on the coldest of days. They come with a built-in thermostat. You no longer need to push a button to increase or decrease the heat level; these gloves measure the temperature of your fingers and decide whether they need to crank up or down the heat.

Cold hands on the lift that start sweating after that heart-pumping bump run. No worries, these gloves have you covered. They auto-regulate the heating elements to keep your fingers at the ideal temperature.

And to think, I’ve just been stuffing heat packs in my gloves for years.

Use the accompanying smart app to set your optimal temperature, and the gloves take care of everything else. The heating element turns on and off automatically to keep your fingers at the optimal temperature.

And how much will the ultimate ‘set it and forget it’ heated gloves set you back? With an MSRP of $399, they will put a dent in your wallet. But who’s to say how much warm hands are worth to you?
