Heated Gloves
« on: 06 September 2013, 07:13:29 pm »
Hi all , Ive managed to free some £ up and as i do a lot of motorway riding and get bloody cold hands , Gonna invest in some heated gloves . Really want a decent pair with minimal wiring or none at all ( cant be assed with wires everywhere , wont use bloody things then).
Has anyone got any advise from using heated gloves or know of decent makes ?

No no no, you're much better off buying the big Tucana Urbano muffs with the built in metal straps that stop them pushing on the levers and a half decent set of heated grips!
You can happily use summer gloves or thin waterproof gloves through the winter instead of those thick horrible gloves that lose you all feeling of the grips and switches!

Not forgetting having muffs on the bars stops any rain being forced up your jacket sleeves at speed down the motorway!

Plus there have been more than one instance of "heater unit failure" with heated gloves on here, some within weeks of purchase.
