I was wondering what most people use to keep their hands warm when riding in cold weather? heated grips? heated gloves? what brands do you like? any input would be appreciated!

 

heated gloves work best. be sure and get a pair that have heating elements on top of the fingers and back of hand. www.cozywinters.com is a good source at a resonable price.

 

Gloves...

Depends on what range. I use insulated leather gloves but it doesn't get that cold here in GA. If it is below say 30deg, I slide on a pair of latex medical gloves under the insulated leather, for long trips.

 

HD thinsulate gauntlets,.......then I shove a couple of them "Hot Hands" packets in the palm and on the top of my hands inside the gloves ,..on very cold mornings. Them "Hot Hands" things work well,........and only .99 cents for a pack at Wally World.

 

There are alot of "It Depends", that this topic generates.

On a batwing bike, a good pair of gloves and heated grips are sufficient. The fairing blocks the winds off of the hands, which allows for heated grips to be sufficient.

Long distances? Heated gloves.

Convenience? Heated grips.

I had a RK.....and with that bike, I used heated glove liners. They cost about 80 bux, and fit under a pair of slightly loose fitting leather mid weight gloves. They worked AWESOME. Entire hand, especially the fingertips stayed toasty warm.

My current ride has heated grips. They are also great, but they have their limits....distance and temperature. I find that with those same mid weight gloves I used with the heated liners, that my fingertips start to get cold after about 20 miles in temps below 40. Also, the heated grips do NOTHING to keep the back of your hand warm.

There are pro's and cons on both sides. I know if I were planning a road trip in temps below 40, that I would wire my heated glove liners in.

 

Got a pair of Gerbing G3 electric gloves. - toasty warm @ 20 degrees. I wired them into the aux switch in my RK an carry the wires in the windshield pouch.

 

I get the wife to sew the fingers back on the fingerless gloves Oh, take the gloves off first otherwise they get sewn to your own fingers and that stings - a lot[:'(]

 

I wear insulated leather snowmobile gloves. Great down to 10 degrees. Below that everything is so cold that I can't tell what is the coldest and I usually park the bike.

 

My hands don't get cold sittin lookin at my bike in the basement,,,,,,,,, cause there's a foot of snow outside.

 

I have a pair of silk glove liners...
Can't say it makes my hands warm.....but, they're not quite as cold...
