Heat Layer System

These liner gloves are part of the Heat Layer System, which was developed for military units in Germany and Austria but now popular worldwide as multifunctional outdoor gloves. With this system, you combine different inner gloves (liners) with other layers depending on how much the weather hates you. This way you have one glove system that works in very versatile weather conditions and you get insulating air in-between the layers.

1st Layer: Liner gloves

The first layer of the system offers 10-20% of the total heat output. Choose the liner according to the weather and what you do in it.

2nd Layer: Warm Shell Mittens

The second layer on top of the Liners is the super warm Shell Mittens that are made in different material combinations. The finger compartment zips open and folds down when you need to be able to use your fingers or operate touch screens.

3rd LAYER: Polar Hood

The outermost layer consists of windproof and water-resistant pullover mittens that offer additional protection against wind and moisture. These triple layers are fit for the coldest and harshest regions of the world.

Heat2 Gloves

Fingerless gloves with a mitten cap. Made from fleece or softshell fabric and perfect for the transition seasons.

1st + 2nd Layer: Heat 3 Gloves

These combine the first and second layer into one entity. The liner and shell mitten are sewn together, which is excellent for folks that have a tendency to misplace gloves or those that just need winter gloves for one type of winter, cold.

Materials

The main outer material is a breathable microfiber, which is highly wind and water repellent. The Primaloft Gold & Grip Control insulation is environmentally-friendly synthetic down with 100% recycled content. The combination provides a lot of warmth without being bulky. It is also moisture-regulating and breathable. Furthermore, it retains the insulating effect even in wet conditions and dries quickly.

The palm and inside thumb are made from very durable goat leather. It is warmer than high-tech fibers, highly breathable, and pleasantly soft yet resilient. Furthermore, it is strongly water repellent. For leather care, the manufacturer recommends their own HEAT Leather Balm but you can use other suitable leather care products as well.

Warm gloves for every situation

Military use

Originally, this glove system was developed for special force units in Germany and Austria. The system has proven itself in military use in the coldest conditions and is continuously being developed further.

Photography

This glove system is appreciated by outdoor photographers all over the world. From the Arctic to the Antarctic, photographers appreciate the warmth and versatility these gloves offer.

Mountaineering

The Heat Company gloves are very popular even in the most difficult mountain climate. In extreme weather conditions, the Heat Layer System offers optimum protection against wind and moisture without restricting mobility. Their extremely warm gloves have been used successfully on the tallest mountains of the world.

Hunting

They are also great for cold weather hunting, especially sitting in the blind. The Heat 3 Smart glove was also the test winner for driven hunt gloves in the Jäger Magazine. The Heat Company gathers feedback from hunters and uses it for consistent product development.

Skiing and other winter sports

These gloves and mittens keep your fingers warm during all winter sports, no matter whether it’s cycling, skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, or snowmobile riding.

Choosing the right size

These are in regular glove sizes, which is the circumference of your hand measured around the widest point of your palm. Read more about measuring your hand here if it isn’t that familiar to you. Below you’ll find the table with The Heat Company’s own recommended hand measurements.
