Gerbings glove owner, please read in

I have tested the gloves alone, no difference. I even swap the jacket and glove wires on my temp controller, no difference. As fas as I know the pants, insole and gloves are in the same circuit, the other 2 are good, only the gloves.
there was a post sometime ago about this, that the heated jacket feels very warm but not the gloves. I have the T5, gloves only, and rarely put them on on full power, but I don't usually ride below 30°-35° F. But yes, my hands would be very warm.
did you try the gloves only? I wander if the jacket draws too much power and the gloves don't heat up as they are supposed to. I suggest trying using them alone or jacket turned off. if that solves the problem then the gloves need to be hooked up separately....

Well, let me tell you, the coldest part of my body is my hands, I can live without body heat but like to have toasty warm hands. It looks like I am not the only one, I will call them next week, spring is in the air, it's time to get it fix before I use it next cold day.
I have Warm Gear heated gloves and they would literally burn the skin on the back of my hand at full temp. Also I noticed that with the stock black heated grips of my EG on full temp, they will heat my gloves on the palm and the wiring of the gloves transfers the heat through out the gloves without having the gloves plugged in. I'm probably never going to hard wire my gloves again.

Let us know what Gerbing tells ya. Any chance someone you know close by has a pair of heated Gerbing you could try to see if yours are putting out subpar or perhaps just that your hands are very sensitive in the cold.

Gerbings Hybrids are perfect. Outside temp and length of ride dictates whether I set them on high, medium, or low.
My older Gerbings (I don't recall the model) that plug into the bike required me purchasing the thermostat as they would get too hot without one.

Got It Backwards
The plugs on your gloves, is it a molded 90 degree angle? If not, call the place you bought them and tell them you want them replaced with the right angle plug. Gerbing had a batch made in China with only wires on the back, not the palms. These defective gloves have the straight plugs. If they give ya crap or dont know what your talking about, call Gerbing.

I own the HD hybrid gloves and jacket liner as well as pants liner, all made by Gerbings. Using the dual controller, they all get warm, but the gloves get the hottest by far, and that is riding a FatBoy with no windshield, no heated grips, etc.

my T5 gloves are the same, jacket, pants and sock liners do get warmer - gloves get warm, just not like the jacket which you can get feeling like an electric blanky but that is the only piece of the puzzle you have independent control of - never had my hands (or anything else) get cold though. Call Gerbing though, if there is a problem they will help you fix it yourself (like my hot power block) or repair/replace as needed. What are you wearing those for anyway? I'm in summer gloves now.

Of course it is too warm to wear the gloves now, I have to be prepare for cold, don't wanna send them out for repair when I need them. I only have the gloves for 2 months, still brand new. I already read their FAQ and found a cleaning tip for the connection, will try today. Thanks!

128auto, what temp did you ride in that you couldn't feel your hands toasty warm? last time I used them in 40/42° F I had them on full and they wear almost burning the hand. definitely warm. I wander if my T5 have a better insulation than the G3, but a friend with the G3 swears by them, toasty warm.
But you guys in Vancouver may have another definition of "cold" and maybe ride in much colder temp than I do. I remember a pic of yours riding and it was snow all around...
