Default Gerbing G3 Gloves and Willie G Jacket

I'm getting to where I can't keep my hands warm so I'm gonna have to break down and buy some heated gloves. I like the look of the Gerbing G3 gloves. I have a Willie G jacket and the outside of the sleeve drops lower to make up for the sleeve when you have your arms extended riding. Some gauntlet style gloves I've tried don't fit over the jacket too well and putting the G3s inside won't work. Anyone out there in Touring Land have a Willie G jacket and Gerbing G3s? Looking for advice here.
I know. This is the Touring Model section, not the glove section, but y'all are the ones who post. Thanks.

While slightly off your main topic, try on the G3 gloves before you buy them. I have a pair and they seem to be sized a bit small.

Great. My problem with gloves is my thick, slightly shorter fingers. By the time I buy gloves that fit around them, they're usually too long. I've looked and can't find a Gerbing dealer near me in South Alabama. I know, I live in the South, but I've had two carpal tunnel surgeries and that seems to make a difference. Before I couldn't feel the cold!

Sorry for the thread drift...I was there from late '73 to July '75 with the CGC in the old "58" Bldg down on the Navy Yard.

Did all the parades, funerals, arrivals, you name it!

And you?

I just received a pair of those gloves and really like them. I did notice though that the finger portions are a little longer then I like. I just ordered the next size smaller and I'm going to see how they fit. I would suggest ordering a couple different sizes and sending back the ones you don't want. I know you will be responsible for shipping, but you want to make sure the gloves fit.

the wife bought me a pair of HD heated gloves for my bday. wired them up and they get HOT. ill need a thermostat!

go with which ever gloves are cheaper. Gerbings makes the HD... the tags inside my HD's are Gerbings tags.

with my soft lowers, thick socks, under armor, FXRG jacket and a Shampa mask/ear band- i was nice and warm, down to about 25* but my hands would go numb. not anymore.
