I was a bit sceptical of these at first, but they do have a slight heating effect. Then again, so do the gloves on their own.
Really handy for the USB lead with connectors alone.
I don't recommend using these with a cheap mains power supply.

    Hi Clive, I know it's 5yrs ago since u did a video on heated half finger gloves. My Q is, the heating pad contacts copper strips were one side sticky. So how is electrical contact made through the sticky film which presumably is an insulator?

    If you use a Power Bank with 4 18650 batteries in it the gloves will work for a couple of hours !!!! Higher Powered heated gloves make the Power bank get really hot, So you need a lithium Engine Starter to supply the Power !!!!! Or a Petrol Generator, but it would be a bit hard, you would have to get one with Wheels !!!!!

    The more Expensive gloves, about ยฃ8 wrap around both sides of your hands. My house is not very warm but I have Two pairs of these gloves, for reading in bed and playing on my X Box !!!! But you do need to glue the White Fabric Together and put glue on the Wires to stop them pulling out !!!!

    ยฃ2,94. That's got to be a premium quality product there Clive.

    it would be interesting to use a step up to raise the voltage a little and therefore the heating capacity ๐Ÿค”

    I suppose you could plug them into the USB socket, on a Car Jump Starter Pack.

    Have you ever do a breakdown of 3 way soft switches for heated clothing. I have a 7.4v but cannot find how to put the assembly back together in proper order. Would you know? Thank you so much for you video.

    the gloves look like someone cut off the tips with a pair of scissors.

    You have heard of Michael Flatlys "Feet of Fire"… Get ready for Clives hands on fire!

    I'm pretty dubious about USB and heating anything, really…

    I'm planning on buying a set of 5 heating pads that comes with a switch
    for 3 temperature settings. I want to extend the reach of 2 of the
    heatings pads by about 4 ft in my project. Should I use a larger calibre
    conductor so as to reduce voltage drop ? Manufacturer recommends a 5V2A
    power bank; can I use a 5V3A power bank without burning the circuit ?
