Crab Claw gives your thumb and index finger separate outer channels; the other three fingers share a lobster-shaped outer compartment with individual sleeves inside. Choose this layout if a grouped grip works with your poles, shovel or snow gear. A goatskin palm, 3M insulation and adjustable 7.4V heat complete the snow glove; it will not give you five independently moving outer fingers.

How to Measure Your Hand for Heated Gloves
A good fit helps heated gloves feel comfortable, warm consistently and maintain natural finger movement. Measure both hands, use the larger measurements and select the Arcfomor model you plan to wear.
Fit varies by model because Arcfomor gloves range from close-fitting heated liners and slim gloves to insulated snow, work and motorcycle styles. Use the chart below as a starting point, then check the fit guidance on the product page you plan to buy.
How to Measure Your Hand for Gloves
1Measure Both Hands
Hand size can differ slightly from left to right. Measure both hands and use the larger circumference and length when choosing your size.
2Measure Hand Circumference
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.
3Measure Hand Length
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.
Hand Circumference, Palm Width and Hand Length
These measurements describe different parts of the hand. For Arcfomor sizing, use hand circumference and hand length.
Hand Circumference
Measured around the widest part of the palm below the knuckles, excluding the thumb. This is the primary measurement used in the size calculator.
Palm Width
The straight-line distance across the widest part of the palm. Palm width is not the same as circumference and is not required by this calculator.
Hand Length
Measured from the wrist crease to the tip of the middle finger. It helps determine whether the glove fingers will provide enough length.

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.
How Should Heated Gloves Fit?
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 Heated Liners
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.
Spider Silk and Feather
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.
Insulated, Work and Ski Gloves
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.
Motorcycle Gloves
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.
Choose a Glove Based on How You Plan to Wear It
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.
Dragonfly
Best for customers who want the thinnest dedicated heated liner to wear under an existing outer glove. Available in L and XL.
View Dragonfly Heated Liners →Spider Silk
A versatile lightweight option that can be worn on its own or under a roomier outer glove. The flip-top design provides quick finger access.
View Spider Silk →Feather
A unisex 2.3mm slim-fit heated glove for commuting, driving, walking and everyday winter use. It can be worn alone or layered under a roomier outer glove when more wind, snow or moisture protection is needed.
View Feather Heated Gloves →Ember 2.0
A mid-weight men’s glove for customers who want more coverage than a liner. Ember also offers the widest size range, from S through 2XL.

Crab Claw 3-finger heated lobster gloves
Warmth First, Without a Full Mitten
Crab Claw gives the thumb and index finger their own exterior channels while placing the other three fingers inside one shared outer compartment. Individual inner sleeves keep those three fingers separated inside. The layout prioritizes heat retention and broad grip over the fully independent movement of a five-finger glove.
Best matched to
Cold-weather snow sports, snow clearing and broad-handle winter chores.
Why choose three fingers
The grouped outer shell favors heat retention while keeping the thumb and index separate.
Choose differently when
You need every finger to move independently, fine control or hard-shell protection.
Shell and weather layers
Weather Layers Around the Lobster Shell
Goatskin covers the full palm, with extra leather reinforcing the thumb-index contact area. Polyester forms the hand back, grouped finger shell and long gauntlet without adding rigid guards.
Inside, 3M insulation supplies passive warmth and a waterproof membrane helps manage light rain and snow. A DWR finish is applied to the polyester areas, and the battery-pocket zipper is waterproof. These layers are not intended for immersion or prolonged heavy rain.
Goatskin palm
Full leather contact surface with index-side reinforcement.
Polyester shell
DWR-treated textile across the hand back, finger shell and cuff.
3M insulation
Passive insulation around the separate inner finger sleeves.
Internal membrane
Weather management for light rain and snow.
7.4V heating system
Adjust Heat Through Changing Conditions
Heating elements follow the back of each hand and the backs of the fingers. Three settings let you increase output during colder periods or extend runtime when less powered heat is needed.
High
About 2.5–4 hours
Maximum output for the coldest part of an activity.
Medium
About 4–8 hours
A balance of active warmth and longer use.
Low
About 10 hours
Extended supplemental warmth in milder conditions.
Estimates use the included 7.4V 3000mAh batteries; actual runtime varies with temperature, battery age, charge level and setting changes.
Fit and control
Know What Moves Separately
The thumb and index finger move in separate exterior channels. The middle, ring and little fingers remain in individual inner sleeves but move together inside the shared outer shell. The pre-curved shape supports broad grip without creating five-finger independence.
Both thumbs and index fingers include touchscreen contact areas. The wrist strap secures the hand, and the drawcord closes the long gauntlet over a jacket sleeve.
- Separate exterior channels for the thumb and index finger
- Shared outer shell with three individual inner finger sleeves
- Pre-curved 3-finger construction
- Adjustable strap at the wrist
- Drawcord closure at the extended gauntlet
- Touchscreen areas on both thumbs and index fingers
- Pairing clip for keeping the gloves together off-hand
Use guide
Try the Grouped Grip with Your Gear
Choose Crab Claw when heat retention matters more than having five independently moving exterior finger channels.
Skiing and snowboarding
Hold your pole and work the strap with the thumb and index finger separate. The other three fingers move within one outer compartment, so check binding buckles and jacket closures before heading out.
Snow clearing and winter chores
Suitable for shovels and broad handles that do not require every finger to move independently.
Casual cold-weather riding
Confirm that you can safely operate the throttle, brake and clutch before riding. Compare heated motorcycle gloves when purpose-built hard-shell structure is important.
Independent finger control
Choose Crab Leg for a five-finger snow-glove layout, or a thinner heated glove for detailed fingertip work.
Crab Claw has no hard-shell impact protection and is intended for recreational snow use, winter chores and carefully checked casual riding rather than track use or professional racing.
Compare Heated Glove Layouts
Choose by finger grouping, control needs and palm construction—not voltage alone.

Crab Claw Heated Gloves FAQs
Answers about the 3-finger layout, fit, weather coverage, heat, battery life, touchscreen use, activities and care.
How does the Crab Claw 3-finger design work?
The thumb and index finger each have a separate outer section. The middle, ring and little fingers share one outer compartment, but each finger still sits inside its own inner sleeve.
How is Crab Claw different from Crab Leg?
Crab Claw groups three fingers inside one outer compartment to favor heat retention and broad grip, while Crab Leg keeps all five fingers externally separate for more independent movement. Choose according to the controls and equipment you use.
What materials and insulation does Crab Claw use?
Crab Claw uses a full goatskin palm with additional goatskin reinforcement along the thumb-index side. Polyester covers the back of the hand and long cuff. The glove also includes 3M insulation and a pre-curved shape.
Are Crab Claw heated gloves waterproof?
Crab Claw combines an internal waterproof membrane, DWR-treated polyester and a waterproof battery-pocket zipper. These features are intended for light rain and snow, not immersion or prolonged wet exposure. Keep the batteries and connectors dry.
Where does Crab Claw provide heat?
The heating elements follow the back of each hand and the backs of the fingers. High, Medium and Low settings allow the output to be adjusted as weather and activity change.
How long do the Crab Claw batteries last?
Estimated runtime is approximately 2.5–4 hours on High, 4–8 hours on Medium and about 10 hours on Low. Actual runtime varies with ambient temperature, battery age, charge level and changes between settings.
What sizes are available, and how does Crab Claw fit?
Crab Claw is available in unisex S–XL and fits close to standard sizing. Measure the circumference and length of both hands and use the larger measurements. Confirm the thumb, index finger and grouped-finger inner sleeves sit without pressure.
Do Crab Claw gloves work with touchscreens?
Yes. Both gloves include touchscreen-compatible thumb and index-finger pads for common phone actions. Response may vary with the device, screen protector, weather and pressure used.
What activities are Crab Claw heated gloves suitable for?
Crab Claw is suitable for skiing, snowboarding, snow clearing and general outdoor work based on broad hand movements. The grouped outer compartment is not intended for tasks that require fully independent finger control or task-specific protection.
Can Crab Claw be used for motorcycle riding?
Crab Claw can be used for casual cold-weather riding only if its 3-finger layout allows the rider to operate the throttle, brake and controls safely. It has no hard protective shell and should not replace purpose-built motorcycle gloves when higher impact or abrasion protection is needed.
How should Crab Claw heated gloves be cleaned?
Remove both batteries and spot clean the goatskin and polyester surfaces with a soft damp cloth and mild soap. Do not soak, hand wash, machine wash, tumble dry, iron or dry clean. Air dry the gloves fully away from direct heat and sunlight before reconnecting the batteries.
What is included with Crab Claw?
The package includes one pair of Crab Claw heated gloves, two 7.4V 3000mAh rechargeable batteries, one compatible charger and one storage bag.
