Aevex Intelligent Heat gloves

$259 and up; aevex.com

Disposable hand warmers are fine and dandy, but there’s always that heartbreaking moment when they stop working and you’re left with a useless sack of . . . stuff. Fortunately, Aevex’s partnered with Oregon Research and Mountain Hardware to create waterproof gloves featuring Intelligent Heat tech, which use a battery-powered integrated heating system to keep your digits warm. The “intelligent” part comes from the gloves’ internal

monitors that detect cold and hot spots and either send or reduce heat to those places.

That makes perfect sense, considering it has built-in dual speakers, too. Even better, it rolls up into a tidy column when you’re done.
