My wife suffers from Raynauds (terrible circulation) and is often painfully cold when skiing, so I was after some heated items of clothing for her, predominately gloves, but a heated jacket/socks might also be useful.

Unfortunately there are loads of random Chinese brands on places like Amazon that you can’t believe any reviews for.

Price isn’t an issue, just after a decent make that can be easily charged and will last whilst actually providing some warmth. Any suggestions?

Maybe winter sports forums will be good place to start.
 
My mums the same, I've been checking up now and again on things like heated gloves. They do seem useless what's available on amazon etc. So far the best thing is a double sided hand warmer I got her, Zippo electric. Here's where we bring it into this forum nicely - its a gaming hand warmer :cool: https://www.zippo.com/pages/zippo-gaming . They get super hot in a short amount of time, both sides as you grip it so you get the full transfer in one or two. "Hot hands" are another handy disposable pouch you can get if charging is an issue, most outdoor shops sell them.

I do think the best ways going to be heated gloves in the future, much like simple heated blanket tech lining good insulation and battery powered. Just need a proper brand to get making it so you don't go up in flames or it lasting 5 seconds.
