After exhaustive testing, I created the most comprehensive group test of photography gloves online. In that test, one brand stood out from the others. The Heat Company was responsible for my two favorite pairs of gloves. For extreme cold, the Heat 3 Shell Mitt was my pick of the bunch, and for chilly to very cold conditions, the Heat 2 Softshell Mitt was my pick.
While the Heat 3 Mitt is a much more technical glove and can withstand colder temperatures, it was the Heat 2 Mitt that spent most of its time on my hands during the several months of testing in the frigidly cold Canadian Yukon territory, due to its incredible versatility in a range of temperatures. The problem was that it used to be very hard to buy the Heat 2 glove because none of the big retailers stocked it.
This problem has now been solved. I have a close relationship with B&H Photo, and after exchanging some emails with the buying department and sharing my views about this glove, they agreed to add it to their system so my readers can easily get hold of them. Even if you aren’t in the US, they have excellent international shipping options, and shipping is free to some countries like Canada when you spend over $100.
I’m so happy that I can now recommend these gloves and point people to an easy way to get them. They are brilliant and will make cold photography days much more comfortable. You can find them in two colors and various sizes on the B&H Photo website.
