These shockingly warm high-tech mitts do the trick (maybe a little too well)
"
There are great gloves and there are cozy mittens – and then there are the shockingly warm Heat 3 Smart Gloves, just making their way into North America.
They are made in Austria by the Heat Company and were designed to be used by German and Austrian special forces combat troops, so this mitten/glove combo has an impressive CV.
While they're too bulky to be considered chic, I was ready to try anything, since I've never been able to ski for long without my hands going numb. Not with these gloves. On long lift rides up the Alps, wind seared through my ski jacket, but my Heat 3-covered hands always stayed warm.

The Heat Company – HEAT 3 SMART Gloves
This summer I was given a pair of these gloves to try out. I live in Virginia. It’s hot and humid here so checking out cold weather gear can be difficult. But now, it’s cooling off and come places already have snow.
