In the GIN heated gloves the filament has been designed for extreme use and tested for over 200,000 bends and under continous heating and cooling. The result is a lifetime of reliable heating performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParagliding-specific design and fit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis provides extra warmth where it’s most needed, resulting in a more efficient use of the battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe roll-tip fingers also provide added comfort and durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGIN designer Gin Seok Song explains the motivation behind the development of the GIN heated glove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Testing in Korea all year round means we sometimes have to fly and work in the extreme cold. We have always struggled to find heated gloves that are durable, easy to use and actually keep the hands warm. That’s why we decided to develop our own!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the critical parts of a heated glove is the heating filament. We chose a silicone-coated, stainless steel filament. This highly durable filament has been designed for extreme use and tested for over 200,000 bends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also focussed on the fingertips, extending the filament over the whole fingertip and folding the leather over the fingertips for increased comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe couldn’t be happier with the end result and hope you will be too!”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh performance silicone coated, stainless core heating filament\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra leather re-enforcement towards baby finger for protection against paraglider lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable leash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium 3M thinsulate insulation for maximum insulation with a moderate weight and volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy control of the 3 heat settings with LED indicator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-curved fingers with roll-tips for comfort in the flying position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging loop on middle finger – Gauntlet adjustor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBatteries stow away comfortably in a zip pocket on back cuff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStretchy 100% nylon soft shell outer fabric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreathable and completely wind- and water-proof “Hipora” insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7.4V 2200 mAh rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (2 batteries included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWall charger included (Input AC 100- 240V, output DC 8.4V\/1.2A)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 month repair\/replace warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBattery Life and Lifespan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll rechargeable batteries are consumables and have a limited lifespan – eventually their capacity and performance decline such that they need to be replaced. Battery aging can contribute to changes in glove performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Battery life’ is the amount of time a device runs before it needs to be recharged. ‘Battery lifespan’ is the amount of time a battery lasts until it needs to be replaced. One factor affecting battery life and lifespan is the mix of things you do with your battery. No matter how you use your device, there are ways to help. A battery’s lifespan is related to its ‘chemical age’, which is more than just the passage of time. It includes different factors, such as the number of charge cycles and how it was cared for. To maximise battery performance and help extend battery lifespan, keep your batteries half-charged when they are stored, especially over the summer whe not in use. Also avoid charging or leaving batterires in hot environments, including direct sun exposure, for extended periods of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9483\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukairsports.com\/app\/uploads\/gin-aplinealpine-heated-gloves-size-chart-600x379.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"875\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ukairsports.com\/app\/uploads\/gin-aplinealpine-heated-gloves-size-chart-600x379.png 600w, https:\/\/www.ukairsports.com\/app\/uploads\/gin-aplinealpine-heated-gloves-size-chart-768x486.png 768w, https:\/\/www.ukairsports.com\/app\/uploads\/gin-aplinealpine-heated-gloves-size-chart.png 1055w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swoop Airsports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53042712183121,"sku":null,"price":248.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/6924\/0657\/files\/GIN_heat_gloves.jpg?v=1771848154","url":"https:\/\/www.swoopairsports.co.uk\/products\/gin-gliders-alpine-heated-gloves","provider":"Swoop Airsports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
