Outdoor Research Prevail Heated Gore-Tex Gloves - Black, M

When the temperature drops, you want gear that keeps your hands warm without slowing you down. The Outdoor Research Prevail Heated GORE-TEX Gloves blend rugged construction with battery-powered warmth for cold-weather adventures on and off the mountain.

A tough, two-layer woven shell combines polyester and nylon for resilience, while a waterproof GORE-TEX insert and a leather palm deliver reliable protection against wind and moisture. The soft fleece-lined interior pairs with EnduraLoft insulation to provide warmth without bulk, helping you maintain dexterity for grip, buckle adjustments, and handling gear during chilly sessions.

Warmth on demand

The ALTIHeat system powers these gloves with rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and offers customizable heat settings to match the conditions. A quick boost before a lift ride or after a long climb can be achieved by dialing in warmth to your preference, without sacrificing battery life.

• Battery-powered warmth with adjustable levels for flexible comfort
• Rechargeable batteries stored in a zippered compartment for easy swapping
• Touchscreen compatibility for calls, navigation, or music control without removing gloves
• Glove clip, removable leash, and a secure cinchable gauntlet to seal out cold air

In the palm, the leather provides a confident grip on ski poles and gear, while the outer material and sealed seams shed moisture as you move through snow or light rain. Available in XS–XL, these gloves are designed to fit a range of hand shapes and layering needs.

Real-world use and scenarios

Whether you are carving fresh corduroy at first chair, scouting winter trails after a snowfall, or commuting through windy streets, the Prevail gloves respond to shifting conditions. The warmth and protection pair with a comfortable fit that remains dexterous for tasks like fastening buckles, adjusting zippers, or checking a map between runs.

• Resort skiing on cold, windy mornings
• Backcountry tours with longer waits outdoors
• Snowshoeing and winter photography in unsettled weather

Care and use guidance emphasize longevity, balancing warmth, protection, and ease of use. The result is a glove option that adapts to changing light, wind, and activity levels, offering warmth as a possibility rather than a guarantee.
