You want warm hands, but you also want to unlock your bike, tap a contactless card or answer a call without peeling your gloves off. Thick gloves get in the way of all that. Heated glove liners are thin, stretchy gloves with built-in heating elements. Wear them on their own on a dry, cold morning, or as a warm layer under ski, motorcycle or work gloves when the weather turns wet and windy. Here is how to choose one and how the main options compare.
The short answer
- Best all-round liner: the thin heated glove liners with carbon fibre elements and touchscreen fingertips, €129.99.
- Small or large hands: the thin heated gloves with anti-slip grip in single sizes from XS to 2XL, €129.99.
- Simple stretchy inner layer: the black heated inner gloves on 7.4V with a USB charger, €129.99.
- Heavy rain: choose a thicker glove from the heated gloves collection, or wear a liner under a waterproof outer glove.

What to look for
1. Fit
A liner only works when it fits snugly, like a second skin. Too loose and you lose dexterity, and there is air between your hand and the element. If you are between sizes, pick a model sold in single sizes.
2. Where the elements sit
Most liners heat the back of the hand and the fingers, leaving the palm unheated for grip and feel. Ororo states this explicitly for the Glasgow.
3. Layering under your own gloves
If you plan to wear a liner under ski or motorcycle gloves, the outer glove needs a little room, or it will pinch and feel colder. Read more in our guides to heated ski gloves and heated motorcycle gloves.
4. Touchscreen and grip
The main reason to go thin is that you can still use your phone. Check for touchscreen fingertips and anti-slip on the palm.
5. Battery life
Thin gloves carry small batteries. Expect a few hours on high and considerably longer on low. Our page on how long the battery in heated clothing lasts explains why.
The liners reviewed
Thin heated glove liners (at Gløde)
These top the list because they are the most versatile: thin, light, breathable and stretchy, with carbon fibre elements over the back of the hand and the fingers so the heat spreads quickly and evenly. Touchscreen fingertips and 2 rechargeable batteries are included. On their own they suit dry cold; under a waterproof shell they handle rain too.
Thin heated gloves with anti-slip grip, single sizes (at Gløde)
The same thin glove with anti-slip grip on palm and fingers, sold in XS, S, M, L, XL and 2XL. Breathable and moisture-wicking, with a hook-and-loop wrist closure, touchscreen thumb and index finger, and up to 6 hours on the lowest setting.
Heated inner gloves, black (at Gløde)
A straightforward stretchy inner glove in 92% polyester and 8% spandex. Composite fibre heating wires on 7.4V with 3 settings. In the box: rechargeable 2200 mAh batteries and a USB charger with cable.
Ororo Glasgow
Pros: good value on offer (€109.99, price November 2026) and a clearly stated run time of up to 8.5 hours on low. Cons: the palm is not heated, hand wash only, and gloves carry 1 year on elements and 1 year on the battery.
Bertschat liner gloves PRO
Two versions: Dual Heating at €189.95 and Single Heating at €109.95 (price November 2026, usually €139.95). Pro: a choice between a budget and a fuller version. Con: we found no figures for zones, temperature or run time on the product page, which makes comparison difficult.
Alpenheat FireGloveliner AG1
Pros: two 3,000 mAh 7.4V batteries, 3 settings and 3 to 9 hours of heat, with a heating wire along the fingers. Con: no price on the brand's own site.

Frequently asked questions
Can I wear heated liners on their own?
Yes. All three liners at Gløde are designed to be worn alone or as a layer. In rain and strong wind, add a waterproof outer glove.
Will my palms get warm too?
These liners heat the back of the hand and the fingers. If you want palm heat as well, look at the mittens in our guide to the best heated gloves.
How do I pick the right size?
Liners should fit snugly. If in doubt, choose the single-size version. You can also try them for 30 days with a money-back guarantee: 30-day trial.
Are they good for a cold office?
Many people use thin liners indoors because they can still type and use a mouse. Keep to a lower setting for longer run time.
Are they safe, and what is the warranty?
Gløde clothing is CE certified and protected against overheating, with a 2-year warranty. See repair and warranty.
Conclusion
For one thin glove that handles the commute, the yard and your phone, choose the thin heated glove liners.
