Merlin Bednell CE2 D3O Heated Gloves - Black

Everything about how the glove is made is great, the stitching heat retention leather quality and the fact it’s CE2 is awesome!

Only gripe is that the actual heating could be a lot hotter. The hottest setting won’t warm up your hand if it’s already cold. That said. The glove does hold heat really well so if you leave the house with warm hands and have it on max then you won’t get cold.

Would definitely recommend and hopefully with their next model they improve the heating.

I really needed some heated gloves to endure the near 0deg temperatures and this set is doing the job great.

Just don’t get them for the touch control compatible tips. As others have said, the index finger does not have a touch sensitive pad at the very tip, so really, it’s only your thumb that can do anything. That feature for me was a nice to have rather than a necessity so it doesn’t bother me. If I need to use my phone I rather stop at a safe place and take my glove off for a minute

Size: Small
TLDR: check wrist strap before purchase.

The gloves wrist strap is poorly engineered. For a tight seal there is no velcro, not even close. I have a below average wrist of 15.5cm in circumference, even if you had an average wrist of 17cm you wouldn't even get half the Velcro of the wrist. I wear alpinestar SP-Air as my summer glove also in small and i have full velcro wrist connection.
They are warm even at 5deg c, my fingers at the highest setting are very comfortable.
They are watertight, with many tests in the rain.
The electronic touch point is at the palm side of the finger rather than the point, very hard to navigate the phone considering how bulky the glove is. The stitching started to thread only a week in. (Only at the touchscreen finger fabric).

Really pleased with these biking gloves - fantastic quality and fit well
