These battery-powered heated gloves will keep your hands warm for 6 hours

It has been a long, cold winter for parts of the U.S., and according to that weather-prognosticating rodent, we’re not done yet. Thankfully, new technologies are helping to us to stay warmer in these frigid conditions, including a growing line of heated outdoor apparel. Now, one of the brands that helped pioneer the concept of a heated jacket is expanding its line up by introducing heated gloves and mittens too.

Ravean, which debuted its first piece of heating clothing in 2015, has launched a new Kickstarter campaign to introduce its new battery operated gloves as well. These gloves are made from durable leather and feature YKK waterproof zippers, adjustable cuffs, and an elastic leash that prevents them from getting lost. But, of course, it is their ability to provide heat that really allows them to stand out.

Powered by a 7.4-volt rechargeable battery, Ravean’s gloves and mittens feature three different warmth settings — low, medium, and high. The company says on its lowest settings, the gloves can provide heat for up to 6.5 hours, which is a solid level of performance but still lags behind some other models we have seen. On medium heat, battery life slips down to 3.5 hours and on high it clocks in at 2.5 hours.

To activate the gloves, the user simply presses an oversized button located on each cuff. An indicator light illuminates to indicate that the heating elements have been activated. Pushing the button multiple times cycles through the different temperature settings.

To add extra protection from the elements, the gloves also include 150 grams of Thinsulate synthetic insulation which can provide warmth even when the batteries are depleted. The goatskin leather is also treated with a Hydro-Tex shell, which makes the glove both wind and waterproof.

When the Kickstarter campaign was launched, Ravean hoped to raise $10,000 to get these new gloves and mittens into production. Just a few days into the crowdfunding efforts, the company has already blown past that number, pulling in nearly $60,000 as of this writing. That means this product should go into production later in 2018, with an estimated delivery time of December. As always, readers are encouraged to research any potential crowdfunding projects thoroughly before investing.

This Costway outdoor pizza oven isn’t messing around — $169 off for Black Friday
Costway outdoor pizza oven on patio

Forget those indoor-friendly pizza ovens. Forget the low-flame and low-smoke options. Me, personally, I want the real deal. That's why when I came across the Costway outdoor pizza oven I knew I had to share. It comes with a pizza stone, for authentic stone-cooked pizza duh, and a waterproof cover to protect the grill. But here's the best part: It can fire-cook a 12-inch homemade pizza pie. Oh, yes. Normally $309, it's on sale today for $140, which saves you $169. That is an incredible deal, let alone for something like this that can handle the fire and brimstone. It's live already alongside some other great early Black Friday deals.

 
Why should I buy this Costway outdoor pizza oven for Black Friday?
The best thing to do when it's time to cook, in my humble opinion, is to head outside and light up my trusty Blackstone. It works great, but if I want to wood fire a pizza I'll need something else. That's precisely where this Costway outdoor pizza oven comes in handy. You can adjust the level of fire and smoke to create a perfectly cooked pizza for your family, charred or not. The dual thermometer makes it easy to adjust the temperature when it's lit. Moreover, the under storage allows you to place some wood, utensils, or whatever else you might need -- so you're not always traipsing back to your shed, house or garage.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that a ton of early Black Friday deals have dropped. There are the usual suspects like laptops, electronics, gaming gear, and beyond. But me, I prefer to pick up unusual items during the huge holiday sales. You know exactly what I mean, the kind of stuff that doesn't usually go on sale any other time. One of those items is a portable generator. Where I live it seems like they rarely go on sale, and when you need them most they're never in stock. People flock to the stores to buy them just before a big storm. Well, right now, Pulsar and Walmart have an incredible deal on a 12,000-watt dual-fuel generator. Normally $900 it's down to $749 which saves you $151. It can run for up to 12 hours on an 8-gallon fuel tank.
