Our mission is to help people spend more time outside. Stay warm all year round.

Story

Candle heated gloves are not the first battery-heated gloves of all time, but they are the first designed for the city and warm enough for the mountain.

Our Gloves heat up to 120℉ / 49℃ and are: cold-resistant; water-resistant; touch screen friendly; last up to 6 hours; stretchy; breathable and, Candle is backed by the United Nations™️ for the company’s environmental efforts.

 

 

Our Co-Founders, Rory and Nick, have been lifelong friends and grew up together in Vancouver, Canada. You can find them up in Whistler snowboarding during the winter.
 
Support us in our mission to help more people spend more time outside this winter!

Candle gloves are designed for extreme weather conditions. Our products are equipped with a carbon fibre heater that heats the glove up to 120℉ / 49℃. Our gloves have 3 temperature settings and on the lowest temperature setting, they last 6+ hours.
 
 
 
You heard us right, hotter than a hot tub
 
Candle gloves are designed for all elements, especially rain and snow. Candle products are rain and snow resistant.
 
 
Phones play a big role in most people’s day-to-day life. Our gloves are dexterous so you won’t miss a beat with your Candle gloves on. 
 

Not all days are created equal. Sometimes, you need to be out in the cold for an extended period of time and we’re here to ensure you stay warm and toasty. Our heated gloves last 6+ hours!
 
 
Our rechargeable lithium polymer batteries are designed for everything this winter has to throw at you. They are light, reliable and safe.
 
 
Not all cold days are created equal. Our gloves have 3 different temperature settings to equip you for varying cold levels.
 
High: 120℉- 130℉ / 50℃
Medium: 110℉ – 120℉  / 45℃
Low: 100℉ – 110℉  / 40℃
 
 
Candle gloves are washing machine friendly. Just remove your batteries and throw them in the wash!
 
 
Candle gloves are soft, stretchy, water-resistant, breathable and lightweight. Our gloves feature a unique blend of milk silk, neoprene, and lycra that allow them to feel like a dream while keeping you warm. 
 

Candle’s core mission is to help the world spend more time outside. Harvard Medical School conducted a study that found the average American only spends 7% of their life outside. Their study also shows the outdoors boosts vitamin D levels, makes people happier, more likely to exercise and even concentrate better.

We love the outdoors and care deeply about the environment and our impact on it. Candle gloves are the alternative to single-use plastic hand warmers, making sure that we’re sustainable for the environment. Our gloves come in a reusable carrying case and a cornstarch-based 100% compostable mailer.
 
By supporting Candle, we can work together to eradicate single-use plastics. The United Nations™️ Association in Canada has supported Candle in furthering the achievement of our environmental initiatives and we’ve been granted the “Canada Green Corps” status.
 

We’ve partnered with an amazing local charity called the “Take a Hike Foundation“, who share our mission in helping people spend more time outside. Take a Hike is changing the direction for vulnerable youth with the help of the outdoors. They know, and they’re proving that all youth deserve an opportunity to improve their lives, explore their potential, and achieve success – however they define it.
 
 
 
We searched high and low for other heated gloves (that weren’t designed for the city) and we realized the price point was incredibly high. Most of the options out there range between $200-$400 USD. Our gloves are not only less expensive but are superior in quality and functionality.
 
 
 
Our gloves come with a compact, reusable carrying case. Making it the perfect addition to every weekend trip, ski expedition or vacation. Our cases have slots for your batteries and your charger.
 
 
Seasonal depression is real, especially in rainy parts of the world like Vancouver and getting outside during the winter, especially in colder cities, is a serious challenge! Our gloves can give you that extra boost of warmth and get you one step closer to beautiful mother nature!
 
 
Candle gloves will slide right into your current ski gloves giving you the extra warmth you need for those blistering days on the hill. Say goodbye to frozen fingers, Candle is here.
 
 
 
Cold is one thing, but cold and wind together are a whole ‘nother beast. Our gloves are designed to keep you warm in all winter conditions.
 
 
 
I think we’ve all been guilty of using the cold weather as an excuse to stay inside and hibernate. This winter, we’re trying to help you change that – now let’s get outside!
 
 
 

Our gloves come in two sizes for each men and women. Due to the stretchiness of our gloves, we only need to have 2 sizes.

 
Without your love and support, it would not be possible to bring Candle to life and help more people spend more time outside this winter (and for many more to come!).
