Yes, quality heated gloves are designed with waterproof membranes and sealed electrical connections. The heating elements operate at low voltage (typically 7.4V) and are fully insulated from moisture. However, water ingress through worn seams or damaged waterproofing can eventually corrode connections. Maintain your gloves' waterproofing and inspect seals regularly.
