Heated grips vs. heated gloves
#52
I have the HD heated gloves and jacket. Just bought the gloves Sat. at our local dealer for 20% off list. I also bought the Warm N Safe remote dual controller. It should arrive this week. That will help with the wiring issues a bunch. We ride year round in Denver area, road conditions permitting.

Because I'm either stubborn or lazy, I decided not to break out the Gerbings this morning for the ride to work.....It was 30 degrees when I left the house. I wear Lee Parks PCI gloves, and even with the heated grips my hands were bitter cold when I got to work.
Tomorrow will be about the same, temperature-wise. I'll be wearing the Gerbings.

Great thread and thanks to all that contributed. My truck is in the shop for a few weeks getting some custom work done to it and my stepson finally got a job so I can't take his beater to work. I'm on the bike. 38* when I left the house yesterday. The thick windproof/waterproof gloves I picked up at Harbor Freight last weekend was the best I had used so far but there is no room in the fingers for cirulation so my fingers still got cold. Looks like I'm stopping by the dealer this morning on the way to work to check out gloves. I like the thought of the rechargeable ones but Gerbing's price on there site about killed me. Better than losing fingers to frostbite though.

I have the HD heated gloves and jacket liner and have not been cold riding yet. I have been out when it is below freezing and riding on the interstate with no problems. The gloves are a bit bulky but work just fine. I didnt know about Gerbings til after I bought the HD version, but have heard good things about them.

just got the gerbing glove liners - wearing them saturday for about 3 hrs they actually got warm enough to give a light 'burn' to backs of my hands, but i was using insulated gloves - cut the insulation out of the outergloves (so now they are just a layer of deerskin) and used the liners again this morning (33* and light snow) and they felt perfect... but the grips are still cold, so now I'm thinking of adding the heat demons so both sides of my hands are warm (thinking ahead to when the temps are in the teens or lower...)
I wired the glove harness into my jacket between the liner and the outershell, so now there is no more wiring the jacket - just plug the gloves in and go. Thinking of getting the heated insoles too - 3 hrs in the upper 30's on saturday definitely froze my feet.
