Abstract

A heated glove system incorporates a heated glove with ultrathin resistive heaters that extend on both the backside and palm side of the glove to enable higher tactility and use. A resistive heater may be a thin metal foil that is planar on a substrate material. The resistive heater may extend along a backside portion of the glove and extend up along the finger portions of the backside portion and also along a palm portion and extend up along the finger portion of the palm portion. In this way, a hand is heated on both the backside and palm side substantially over the entire surfaces. The heated glove incorporates a battery, that may be a rechargeable battery and a controller interface having an on/off button and temperature indicator and may include a wireless signal transceiver for relaying information about glove temperatures to a remote electronic device.
