hawkeyefxr Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 I bought a pair of heated gloves a few years ago, they functioned fine except for one the heated part of the finger was on the outside of the glove. they were useless. I sent the back and purchased another pair where the heated part was on the inside of the fingers and hand, they were perfect, best pait of gloves i ever had. 1 Quote

Smithers Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 It's not really a review unless we know what makes and models you are referring to. I agree with raesewell; I might be interested in buying a pair myself. Only because I'm too tight to fit heated grips. Quote
exportmanuk Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 HiI would want the heated area to be on the back of the hand and fingers this is the area exposed to the wind. The problem with heated grips is they heat the palm only so your fingers get cold Quote
Six30 Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 I wouldn’t go out if it was cold enough you had to have heated gloves . Quote
EX GASMAN Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 I don't do long rides when it's cold these days. I know I'm a biker, but I do have a car as well, sorry! Quote
Gerontious Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 Personally, I think on a motorbike forum, its not really all that interesting talking about reasons you don't ride in a topic about making riding more comfortable when you have no choice. And many on here have no choice, their bike is their only form of transport and winter is around the corner.Electric clothing is one answer.. their are others."I use my car.." is no answer at all. And pointless for those on here who don't have a car to use. 2 Quote

Fleck Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 My bike doesn't come out in the cold winter months. Don't get me wrong I love it in the summer and I go everywhere on it, but if we didn't have summers, I wouldn't have a bike...So the moral of this story? If you haven't got a car get saving up, they are FAR superior to bikes in cold wet weather Take a heated metal shell and a couple of extra wheels Quote

Now at 67 I don't do that anymore. Quote

It would be misleading if only the allweather riders replied - you'd think that 100% of riders go out in the cold. Quote

I didn't say I use my car .... if you need heated gloves its to cold to ride , in my opinion ... other choices are the bus , the train or cab . Quote
Tankbag Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 Silk inner gloves are a help in both heated & normal gloves, I bought some RST heated gloves 3 years ago & they really do make a difference.[mention]hawkeyefxr[/mention] what brand heated gloves did you buy the 2nd time ? Quote
Pie man Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 Thought about heated gloves, however bike has heated grips, not great, but they do help to keep hands warm. The best investment I have made is the Keis heated gilet for those cold days Quote
hawkeyefxr Posted October 4, 2019 Author Posted October 4, 2019 It's not really a review unless we know what makes and models you are referring to. They were Harley Gloves, nice soft leather and good padding. I chose battery ones over hard wired. They were just over £200.00 Quote
OldEssexMan Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 OK, here's my two pennorth. I have used Gerbing heated gloves for some years. They are great but there is a bit of a faff with the wires. I have recently discovered that gloves incorporating Outlast are just as good as heated gloves if you have heated grips. The Outlast puts the heat from the grips all round the glove and, except for VERY cold conditions (below maybe 2 degrees) or very long rides, they are a great alternative to wired gloves. OK, Outlast gloves are pricey but, for me, they are worth it. I have had Rukka and Held Outlast gloves and they are both good. Quote
S-Westerly Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 I'd agree. I've got Halversson's outlast lined gloves and never get too cold, especially if I wear a pair of silk liner gloves as well. Quote
skyrider Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 do you ever find if you wear silk you have to keep it warm and not the other way round Quote
Tankbag Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 do you ever find if you wear silk you have to keep it warm and not the other way round I've found the silk keeps me warmer in the cold & cooler in the warm Quote
Tankbag Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 I forgot, plus if it's quite warm & you struggle to get your gloves on & off with sweatyness the silk under gloves stop all that malarkey Quote
