Battery powered heated gloves

[Kenbob]

do any foccers use battery powered heated gloves during winter or have you tried them.
Was thinking of purchasing some but wanted a few opinions before I spent my hard earned

[Hugh Mungus]

If you are looking at the one's at Maplin, they are crap. The batteries don't last five minutes.
The vastly more expensive one's are apparently quite good but you can get 'wired' heated gloves that work great, I recommend Gerbing gloves - I think they do battery one's or at least battery packs but I can't be sure.

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.

I fancy the idea myself but as I already have some winter gloves im looking for some thin powered inner gloves 2 hours would do me for a quick winter blat (they wont get wet )

Yeh but will need to move the battery pack

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.

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 bike
The 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 charge

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.  :thumbup

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)

I'm thinking about getting a set of these by Dr Bike- cheap and cheerful.

If the batteries are lithium polymer then you should not store them fully charged as this can ruin the battery too.
Bet they don’t tell you that when you buy the gloves though.

The Dr.Bike heated grips certainly do the job.Had them on my Triumph until this year when I changed the handlebars resulting in them getting ruined during removal.I've now got the Oxford sports heated grips only because they were on offer and only just over a tenner more than the Dr.Bike. However heated gloves are far superior to heated grips if any distance is to be travelled to make the faff of plugging yourself in, worth it.

I thought they looked like this ?

[celticbiker]

Those are awesome.
I'll get some for Swmbo for Christmas.
Are they battery power or mains?

They are the exact ones i’ve got on my bike right now, and although they seem cheap they are by far the hottest set i’ve ever had on a bike before, and i’ve had a few.

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.

Guards and heated grips have been my choice for years but as said the Fazer won't take guards and allow full lock. Sod muffs.....
