Received this today - I already have 2 pairs, one for the garden and one for going out. They are warm enough without using batteries!

    I had these a few years ago. Took large batteries - C size - on the back of the wrist, not light but not unmanageable.

    I didn't find the heating element accross the palm that good TBH so gave up on the gloves. More gimmic than really useful I thought.

    Have to agree - they were in the Grattans catalogue before Xmas (£15 or three items for £30).
    Ordered a pair as I go out on mobility scooter. Found they hardly heated at all - unless i was unlucky.
    Sent them back and now just use ordinary suede mitts with those gel handwarmers inside - much better and cheaper.
    Would like a decent pair if they worked though.
    Thanks OP as some might not have heard of them.

    I got a pair very cheap a few years ago but I don't use them as I find them too bulky.

    I have some like this which are great and really warm and cosy. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mens-Thinsulate-Padded-Thermal-Gloves/dp/B0044AIU9K/ref=pd_sim_ap_11

    I keep poultry and they have to be looked after whatever the weather - at below zero temperatures my hands really hurt using ordinary or work gloves. As stated, I have never needed to use the battery heating, the gloves warm my hands even if they are frozen when I put the gloves on.
    I have another pair of Thinsulate gloves, but very lightweight, unpadded and made of fleecy(?) material - I much prefer the gloves in the OP.:)
  • They come in sizes Small/Medium 6"-7"
    Large 8"-9"
    In the OP, they were designated as Women's or Men's.

    They feel rather bulky and insensitive but are superb for keeping the hands (and fingers) warm.:)
  • my first post and many apologies as it is probably in the wrong place!
    Has anyone had problems ringing Grabitnow, I applied for a refund before Christmas for an item ordered in November which did not arrive presumably lost in transit.

    I have tried to ring them so see what the position is but the phone is never picked up, emails don't seem to get much response either

    Many thanks

  • Thanks for your reply - at least you did receive your goods, I'm £15 out of pocket as my goods did not arrive at all and I filled in and returned a claim form. I don't mind waiting for a while, but some acknowledgement of my claim would be welcome.

    thanks again!
