Commuting & Driving
The mid-weight profile balances insulation and finger movement for cold steering wheels, walks to transit, parking lots and everyday winter errands.
Buying gloves online? Start with your hand measurements. This guide shows two common measurements—hand circumference and hand length—for people choosing everyday, outdoor or heated gloves.
The measuring technique is useful beyond Arcfomor. Each brand and model can have different sizing requirements, so follow the instructions and size chart for the gloves you plan to buy.
See where to place the tape in this 32-second silent tutorial by Arcfomor. Record your measurements, then compare them with the size chart for your chosen glove brand and model.
Hand size can differ slightly from left to right. Measure both hands and write down the circumference and length of each, using the same unit throughout. Follow your chosen brand’s guidance on which hand or measurement to use.
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.
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.

These measurements describe different parts of the hand and are not interchangeable. Check which measurements your chosen glove brand requests.
Measured around the widest part of the palm below the knuckles, excluding the thumb. Keep the tape snug without squeezing your hand.
The straight-line distance across the palm. It is not the same as circumference. If a size chart asks for palm width, follow that brand’s diagram for the exact measuring points.
Measured from the wrist crease to the tip of the middle finger. It helps determine whether the glove fingers will provide enough length.
Keep your circumference and length readings together with their units. Compare them with the chart for the exact gloves you want to buy. A size M in one brand may fit differently from a size M in another.
If your readings fall between sizes, point to different sizes or sit outside the chart, check that model’s fit notes or ask the brand for help. Liner gloves and insulated outer gloves can require different amounts of room.
Arcfomor makes heated gloves for different ways of spending time outdoors. Use the calculator and chart below to explore your size, then compare models such as Spider Silk and Feather for the activities you have in mind.
The calculator, chart and model advice below apply to Arcfomor gloves. For another brand, use that brand’s own size chart.
For Arcfomor gloves, select your model, choose inches or centimeters and enter the larger circumference and length readings from your two hands. Results are a starting point; check the selected model’s fit notes before ordering.
| Glove size | Hand circumference | Hand length |
|---|---|---|
| S | 7.9–8.5 in20.1–21.6 cm | 7.5–7.9 in19.1–20.1 cm |
| M | 8.5–9.1 in21.6–23.1 cm | 7.9–8.3 in20.1–21.1 cm |
| L | 9.1–9.6 in23.1–24.4 cm | 8.3–8.5 in21.1–21.6 cm |
| XL | 9.6–10.2 in24.4–25.9 cm | 8.5–8.7 in21.6–22.1 cm |
| 2XL | 10.2–10.8 in25.9–27.4 cm | 8.7–8.9 in22.1–22.6 cm |
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Best for customers who want the thinnest dedicated heated liner to wear under an existing outer glove. Available in L and XL.

EMBER 2.0
Ember 2.0 is a men’s mid-weight heated glove for commuting, driving, winter walks and light outdoor work. It provides more built-in insulation than a dedicated heated liner while remaining less bulky than a heavily insulated snow glove.
The mid-weight profile balances insulation and finger movement for cold steering wheels, walks to transit, parking lots and everyday winter errands.
Adjustable heat works well for casual walks, dog walking and similar activities where warmth needs may change as you begin moving.
A practical option for routine outdoor chores where warmth and finger movement matter and certified hand protection is not required.
Ember 2.0 sits between Arcfomor’s slim-fit gloves and heavier snow-focused styles. Its standalone construction provides more passive warmth than a dedicated liner without using the thick insulation found in many ski and snow gloves.
3M Thinsulate provides built-in insulation independently of the electronic heating system. High, Medium and Low settings let you adjust the active heat as the temperature, wind and activity level change.
The milk-silk outer fabric has a water-repellent treatment for light snow and brief moisture exposure. It is water-repellent rather than waterproof and is not intended for prolonged rain or repeated contact with wet surfaces.
Touchscreen-compatible fingertips support common phone and device controls without removing the gloves. Performance may vary with the device, screen protector, glove fit, moisture and outdoor temperature.
These gloves are designed for different levels of insulation, layering and finger access. Choose according to how you plan to wear the glove rather than battery voltage alone.
| Model | Construction | Power | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ember 2.0 | Men’s mid-weight standalone glove | 7.4V | Commuting, driving, winter walks and light outdoor work |
| Dragonfly | 0.5mm dedicated heated liner | 5V | Layering beneath an existing roomier outer glove |
| Feather | 2.3mm slim-fit full-finger glove | 7.4V | Lower-bulk standalone use or layering under a roomy shell |
| Spider Silk | 2.3mm slim flip-top glove | 7.4V | Photography and tasks requiring direct finger access |
Each pair includes two rechargeable 7.4V 3000mAh batteries. Actual runtime varies with outdoor temperature, battery age, charging condition and the selected heat level.
Ember 2.0 provides more passive insulation than a dedicated heated liner, but it remains a mid-weight glove. Prolonged severe cold, strong wind or extended low-activity exposure may require a more heavily insulated glove, mitten or sufficiently roomy outer shell.

Clear answers about fit, battery life, weather resistance, everyday use and care.
Ember 2.0 is a mid-weight standalone heated glove with 3M Thinsulate insulation and adjustable 7.4V heat. It provides more built-in insulation and structure than Dragonfly, Arcfomor’s dedicated 0.5mm liner. It may fit beneath a roomy outer shell, but it is intended primarily for standalone use.
Approximate runtime is 2.5–4 hours on High, 4–8 hours on Medium and about 10 hours on Low. Actual duration varies with outdoor temperature, battery age, charging condition and use. Each pair includes two rechargeable 7.4V 3000mAh batteries.
No. Ember 2.0 is water-repellent rather than waterproof. The treated outer fabric helps with light snow and brief moisture exposure, but a more weather-resistant glove or suitable outer shell is recommended for prolonged rain, wet snow or repeated contact with wet surfaces.
Ember 2.0 is available in S through 2XL and generally fits smaller than many standard North American winter gloves. Measure the circumference and length of both hands and use the larger measurements. If you are between sizes or near the upper end of a range, start with the larger size. Review the Arcfomor glove size guide and calculator before ordering.
Ember 2.0 is suited to commuting, driving, winter walks and light outdoor work where warmth and finger movement matter. It is not certified work or motorcycle protective equipment and should not replace gloves required for impact, abrasion, cut, chemical or other task-specific hazards.
Yes. Touchscreen-compatible fingertips support common phone and device controls without removing the gloves. Performance can vary by device, screen protector, glove fit, moisture and outdoor temperature.
Black Logo and Army Green are the standard Ember 2.0 styles. White Logo is an earlier-generation clearance option currently limited to remaining S inventory. Once the White Logo stock is sold out, it will not be restocked.
Remove both batteries before cleaning. Spot-clean the gloves with a soft cloth, cool water and a small amount of mild detergent, and follow the sewn-in care label before hand-washing. Do not soak, wring, bleach, dry-clean, iron or tumble-dry the gloves. Allow them to air-dry completely before reconnecting the batteries. Read How to Wash Heated Gloves Safely for the complete routine.
Ember 2.0 may help some users maintain hand comfort in cold conditions, but it is not a medical treatment. People with Raynaud’s phenomenon, arthritis, neuropathy, reduced sensation or circulation concerns should ask a qualified healthcare professional whether heated gloves are appropriate, begin with a lower setting and check the skin regularly. Read the Arcfomor heated gloves and Raynaud’s phenomenon guide for additional information.
