Skiing & Winter Recreation
A balanced option for recreational skiing, winter hiking, sledding and time outdoors in changing snow conditions.
Buying gloves online? Start with your hand measurements. This guide shows two common measurements—hand circumference and hand length—for people choosing everyday, outdoor or heated gloves.
The measuring technique is useful beyond Arcfomor. Each brand and model can have different sizing requirements, so follow the instructions and size chart for the gloves you plan to buy.
See where to place the tape in this 32-second silent tutorial by Arcfomor. Record your measurements, then compare them with the size chart for your chosen glove brand and model.
Hand size can differ slightly from left to right. Measure both hands and write down the circumference and length of each, using the same unit throughout. Follow your chosen brand’s guidance on which hand or measurement to use.
Wrap a flexible measuring tape around the widest part of your palm, just below the knuckles. Do not include your thumb. Keep your hand relaxed and the tape snug, but not tight.
Measure from the wrist crease at the base of your palm to the tip of your middle finger. Keep your hand flat with your fingers naturally extended.
No flexible tape? Wrap a piece of string around your palm, mark where the ends meet and measure the string with a ruler.

These measurements describe different parts of the hand and are not interchangeable. Check which measurements your chosen glove brand requests.
Measured around the widest part of the palm below the knuckles, excluding the thumb. Keep the tape snug without squeezing your hand.
The straight-line distance across the palm. It is not the same as circumference. If a size chart asks for palm width, follow that brand’s diagram for the exact measuring points.
Measured from the wrist crease to the tip of the middle finger. It helps determine whether the glove fingers will provide enough length.
Keep your circumference and length readings together with their units. Compare them with the chart for the exact gloves you want to buy. A size M in one brand may fit differently from a size M in another.
If your readings fall between sizes, point to different sizes or sit outside the chart, check that model’s fit notes or ask the brand for help. Liner gloves and insulated outer gloves can require different amounts of room.
Arcfomor makes heated gloves for different ways of spending time outdoors. Use the calculator and chart below to explore your size, then compare models such as Spider Silk and Feather for the activities you have in mind.
The calculator, chart and model advice below apply to Arcfomor gloves. For another brand, use that brand’s own size chart.
For Arcfomor gloves, select your model, choose inches or centimeters and enter the larger circumference and length readings from your two hands. Results are a starting point; check the selected model’s fit notes before ordering.
| Glove size | Hand circumference | Hand length |
|---|---|---|
| S | 7.9–8.5 in20.1–21.6 cm | 7.5–7.9 in19.1–20.1 cm |
| M | 8.5–9.1 in21.6–23.1 cm | 7.9–8.3 in20.1–21.1 cm |
| L | 9.1–9.6 in23.1–24.4 cm | 8.3–8.5 in21.1–21.6 cm |
| XL | 9.6–10.2 in24.4–25.9 cm | 8.5–8.7 in21.6–22.1 cm |
| 2XL | 10.2–10.8 in25.9–27.4 cm | 8.7–8.9 in22.1–22.6 cm |
Available sizes: Ember is available in S–2XL. Dragonfly is available in L and XL. Other current Arcfomor glove models are available in S–XL.
If circumference and length indicate different sizes, use the larger measurement as your starting point. Fit can vary by model, so check the selected product page before ordering. If you are between sizes, choose the larger size unless that model recommends otherwise.
Heated gloves should feel secure without squeezing the palm, limiting finger movement or creating pressure at the fingertips. A glove that is too loose can reduce dexterity and make it harder to grip tools, handlebars, ski poles or a phone.
Dragonfly is Arcfomor's dedicated heated liner and is designed for a closer fit. It should not feel restrictive. When wearing it under another glove, make sure the outer glove has enough room for the liner, your fingers and the wrist battery area.
These models can be worn on their own or layered under a roomier outer glove. They are thicker than Dragonfly, so check the available space inside your outer shell before using them as liners.
These gloves should leave enough room for natural finger movement without excess material at the fingertips. If you are between sizes, choose the larger size rather than relying on the insulation to stretch.
Check palm comfort, finger length and access to the controls. The glove should feel secure when gripping the handlebar without pulling tightly across the knuckles or bunching at the fingertips.
If your measurements indicate different sizes: use the larger size as your starting point. For example, if circumference indicates M and length indicates L, start with L. If your measurements fall outside the available sizes for a product, contact us rather than forcing the closest size.
Your recommended size is only part of the decision. Consider whether you need a dedicated liner, a versatile lightweight glove or a warmer everyday option.
Best for customers who want the thinnest dedicated heated liner to wear under an existing outer glove. Available in L and XL.

WinterGlow 7.4V Heated Gloves
WinterGlow is a mid-weight glove for recreational skiing, winter walks and daily travel. Its textile shell keeps all five fingers separate for handling poles, keys and everyday equipment, with silicone reinforcement across the palm and heel of the hand. It offers more finger movement than a mitten, though small controls can still be harder to use through an insulated glove.
Adjustable 7.4V heat works alongside 3M Thinsulate insulation throughout the glove. A DWR-treated polyester shell and internal waterproof membrane help manage snowy and wet winter conditions, while the reinforced palm maintains a practical grip on poles, handles and everyday equipment.
A balanced option for recreational skiing, winter hiking, sledding and time outdoors in changing snow conditions.
The five-finger design supports steering-wheel control, walking, public transit and common phone functions during cold daily routines.
Suitable for clearing a vehicle, shoveling snow, walking a dog and handling winter equipment.
WinterGlow has a slightly thicker build and more winter-sport coverage. Ember 2.0 is the better starting point for shoppers who prefer a lighter mid-weight glove.
WinterGlow is slimmer and does not include a palm guard. Toboggan is better suited to snowboarders who prefer a thick mitten with removable palm guards for added cushioning; the guards are not certified protective equipment.
WinterGlow uses a polyester outer shell for a lighter feel. Polar Baron is the alternative for shoppers who prefer a full goatskin exterior.
Each pair includes two rechargeable 7.4V 3000mAh batteries. Runtime varies with temperature, battery age, charging condition and heat setting.

Answers about WinterGlow sizing, battery runtime, waterproof construction, winter sports and everyday use.
WinterGlow is a mid-weight standalone heated glove with adjustable 7.4V heat, 3M Thinsulate insulation throughout the glove and an internal waterproof membrane. It is slightly thicker than Ember 2.0 but slimmer than the more heavily built Toboggan snowboard glove.
WinterGlow combines a DWR-treated polyester shell with an internal waterproof membrane for snow and wet winter weather. The gloves are not intended for immersion, and the batteries, connectors and charging equipment should be kept dry.
Approximate runtime is 2.5–4 hours on High, 4–8 hours on Medium and about 10 hours on Low. Actual runtime varies with temperature, battery age, charging condition and heat setting. Each pair includes two rechargeable 7.4V 3000mAh batteries.
WinterGlow is available in S–XL and fits close to standard North American glove sizing. Measure the circumference and length of both hands and use the larger measurements when choosing a size. If you are between sizes, begin with the larger size.
Use the Arcfomor glove size guide and calculator before ordering.
WinterGlow is suitable for recreational skiing and snowboarding, especially for shoppers who want a five-finger heated glove with waterproof construction. It does not include a palm guard, so shoppers who prefer a thicker mitten with removable palm guards for added cushioning should compare it with the Toboggan snowboard glove. These guards are not certified protective equipment.
Heating elements run across the back of each hand and along the backs of the fingers to provide consistent warmth across the areas most exposed to cold.
The thumb and index finger pads on both gloves are touchscreen compatible and support common phone controls without removing the gloves.
Each set includes one pair of WinterGlow heated gloves, two rechargeable 7.4V 3000mAh batteries, one compatible charger and one storage bag.
Disconnect and remove both batteries before cleaning. Gently hand wash the gloves with mild soap and cool or lukewarm water, but do not soak, wring or twist them. Protect the battery connectors from moisture and allow the gloves to air-dry completely away from direct heat and sunlight before reconnecting the batteries. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, iron, bleach or dry-clean.
