Love my widder electric gloves. Too bad they went out of business 2 years back. My widder vest is great and the gloves plug into the vest, meaning only 1 plug to power. I got a problem though - I'm now too fat for the vest!!!

If you dont want to spend the money right off, I recommend using welding gloves over a light weight glove. Welding gloves are heavily insulated, and can be bought cheap. Heated gear will spoil you quick.

Well said. Short trips=grips, long trips=heated gloves

I use snowmobile gloves and my heated grips and have no problems in cold weather. I also use the heated grips if my hands ache from work or if the arthritis is acting up.Use em more than I thought I would.
