Get a set of heated grips, they're one of the greatest invention ever for a bike.I stopped for a fuel top up yesterday and within 2 minutes of riding off i knew something was wrong, as i'd forgotten to turn them back on.The highest setting on my ones will burn your hands through padded leather gloves in normal weather, but in mega cold weather they still get toasty even with freezing cold handle bars. I would never have a bike without them now, and seriously don't know why they don't come fitted as standard.Brilliant in rainy weather as well.
RST make some battery heated gloves.Three heat settings .last about 4 hours on lowest and about 2 hours on max.Two years ago they were £150. spare batteries are about£25 a pair.I find them useful when deicing the car and other outside winter activities as well as on the bikeThe batteries do need to be kept charged when not in use during the summer. I did not do this the first year and when winter arrived one battery would not chargeMalc
Got a pair of Weiss ones a couple of years ago. As stated above the batteries only lasted about 18 months (about 500 charges) and getting caught in a monsoon on the motorway with my gloves on the outside refilled with the left one shorting out and never working again. I'm going Santa brings me some weird ones this year.Oh BTW, when they worked the batteries only lasted for 2 hours as well.
Bloody auto correct.I prefer my prostate exam gloves.
I'm thinking about getting a set of these by Dr Bike- cheap and cheerful.https://www.jsaccessories.co.uk/buy/Doctor-Bike-Drmhg-Heated-Grips-/10183.htm

I find they warm my palms but the ends of my fingers still stay very cold! Heated gloves connected to the bike are by far the best option in my opinion but its a faf connecting them up. A long run always my heated gloves (and waistcoat and socks)

A long run always my heated gloves (and waistcoat and socks)I’ve always wanted some simple hand guards on my bike just to take the direct wind off my fingers, but there’s no way they’d ever fit on my bike, there’s simply zero room for any with the fairing in place.
Gerbing do make a pair of heated liners but not battery powered.Being a liner they're not waterproof and are a touch short if £80. Gerbing seem to be the most reliable and troublefree manufacturer of heated gloves/clothing. Pity it's so expensive,but I suppose "get what you pay for" springs to mind.

Been looking into this a little more and came across home made heated inner gloves using something called kanthal wire but they started showing graphs and talking about ohlms law and stuff and the possibility of the battery melting.Can anyone with electronics expertise help me build some, the wire is in different gauges and my plan is to use 2500 rechargeable battery's 2 for each glove.I only need enough power to heat the second half of 8 fingers and only for 1 or max 2 hours and only on the backs of the fingers.Heated grips just wont do it for me as its only the fingers than get cold due to sh1t circulation, my winter gloves are good but after about 1/2 hour of riding the fingers start to get cold, my winter riding is a quick 1- 1 1/2 hour blast or until my fingers are too cold. so I only need to add extra heat for about 1 hour.I was out for about 3 hours yesterday in one of the coldest days of the autumn/winter so far but I was only pootling around from shop to shop in traffic and I was fine but that is not what I usually do when I am out and the main cold factor is wind chill which is why I am thinking of just heating the back of the fingers. I have looked into hand guards but they just wont fit.
