I have plug in heated gloves and they make a hell of a difference when it's cold. Think they were about 50 bucks about 3 years ago. Well worth it.

You got that right! If you complain about it long enough perhaps someone will buy it for you as a gift ... lol

add up what you've spent, and you've likely paid for electric gloves already...
then factor in your comfort....

I have the jacket liner, gloves, dual controller, and heated pants.... they are nowhere near the highest amount I've spent on a comfort issue....

if they have your size.... they are the best place to buy..
look up first gear/tourmastr heated gear... they come with a controller

The other great thing is the lack of bulking up to keep warm. This in turns makes you safer when riding. I hated wearing big bulky gloves i never quite felt as in control with big thick fingers.

No problem, just make sure you use the provided chart and insert the correct fuse, at least I know that applies to HD/Gerbings

If I could return all the cheaper gear I've bought ( Joe Rocket, Icon, Tourmaster) on the way to ending up with good quality gear (Olympia, Gerbings, RevIt) I could have saved a fortune.
