Having more than one bike I thought it would be cheaper than heated grips, plus I didnt want to alter the bikes.
Do they work, well yes and no, hands are still cold but not frozen and a set of batteries might last 2-4 hours I was told but more like 1-2 hours.
I don't see the point of fingerless gloves as it's the finger ends that get the coldest, would you need 2 powerpacks, how long would they last and how long to recharge?
Would I do the same again, I dont think I would, although the last time I wore them it was just 30 minutes ride put them in my helmet left them turned on and half an hour when I put the helmet back on it was nice and warm as were the gloves.
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
