Default Heated Gloves ... finally got em!

Good Christmas gift. Wife got me the HD (Gerbings Microwire) gloves.
Just wired them up ... could not wait. Got to test them today because we have 5 inches of snow forecasted for tomorrow.

Merry Christmas everybody, hope you are as happy as me ....

I went for a ride yesterday, glad I took advantage of the weather, to test out my new jacket liner. I used my old one temp controller for both liner and gloves and was toasty warm. I don't think you can beat electric gloves and liner for riding in this season. Glad you had a good Christmas.

Thats what I hear......nothing better than wired electric gloves and outers for the cold. I'm aiming for that next year.

Heated gloves are great except when you forget to plug them in.

Would love to have some heated gear, but it's so overpriced I'm finding it hard to justify in my own mind

IMHO, price is not that bad...all boils down to if you want to freeze your a$$ off or not. Me, I'm toasty warm

If you're anything like most of us..... and you've tried to ride in less than ideal conditions....
there is a box of gear you've bought over the years..
Gloves
glove liners
hand heaters
and so on...
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

Default Heated Gear

It may seem like a lot of cash when you walk into the store and plunk it down...but when it's really cold and you have cabin fever...You're riding along and you feel the gloves cycle on and your hands, which weren't cold to begin with, get this rosy glow and a big smile comes across your face..You get the idea.
BTW my bike performs much better with the cold dense air which in itself makes the gloves "worth it".
