Swany Nexus Heated Mitt

Swany's top-tier insulation gets an on-demand power boost in the Swany Nexus Heated Mitt. It's a battery-heated leather ski mitt that stacks premium synthetic insulation, a waterproof, breathable insert and electric heat that reaches each finger. For skiers with chronically cold hands, it takes subzero chairlift rides off the list of things to dread.

Why we like it:

Individual finger heating inside a mitt is the standout. Most heated mitts warm the back of the hand; this one targets every finger and the thumb.

Features and Functions:

Ewool powers the heat, with individual finger elements and heating zones placed along high-circulation areas. Press the button and SnapConnect activates the heat within seconds; haptic feedback tells you the level without looking. Four settings run from Boost at about 2 hours to High at 3, Normal at 4 and Low at up to 8 hours, and times shift with conditions. Batteries recharge through a magnetic SnapConnect plug, and Swany says the heating system handles the washing machine. Under the performance leather, layered PrimaLoft synthetic insulation keeps the mitt warm even with the heat off, and Swany's Dryfinger insert keeps water out while letting sweat escape, and finger channels help with grip.

Fit and Sizing:

Sized unisex, with Swany's Aerodyne palm wrapping the hand for a secure, natural feel.

Bottom Line:

The mitt for skiers whose hands never warm up on their own, or anyone chasing arctic days who wants maximum warmth with a switch.
