I have the cycle gear sedici brand jacket liner and glove liners. They work ok, in high teens/low twenties they have kept me from getting cold but just doesn't feel like they get warm enough. The other night I thought I would ride home from work without my gear, bad idea. The stuff works I just thought it would get warmer then it does.

I've had the Firstgear ones, they broke after one season and only offered a 1 year warrantee. I have checked out the Harley ones made by Gerbings. Their construction and comfort is top notch compared to Firstgear. And the Harley Gerbings gloves offer a lifetime warrantee. Guess you get what you pay for...

I was always curious about the glove liners as well. Being that they are cheaper that the gloves and all. Are they thin enough to go under some of my looser fitting riding gloves or would have to buy another set of gloves that go over the liners?
Personally, that is why I just went with the gloves.

I had grips on my last bike but won't buy them again, the gloves my work so much better and cover your ole hand, not just the palm...

I just picked up a pair of Fly Ignitor Lithium battery gloves. They have gauntlets and the batteries are small enough to fit in a water tight pocket in the gauntlet.
Only had one ride (this morning) with them so far, 39* and my hands felt great. I never took them above the lowest setting since the gloves themselves are already pretty warm. The warmth is around the back of your hands and fingers, not in the palm or grip and worked really well.
Not listed in the description on the website, but the tag on them claims they are also wind proof and water proof.
It doesn't get that cold in SOCAL very often, so I've been looking for battery powered gloves that aren't crap or crazy expensive rather than invest big money in a wired solution.

I have Widder gloves and a vest that run off of one switch. I replaced the Widder plug with a battery tender plug so I just unplug the tender plug in the vest and gloves and go. I've had this stuff since 2003.

+1 Gerbings! I was basically "sold" on the FirstGear items, but after being CONSTANTLY recommended to Gerbing and realizing that there was less than a $50 difference between the two, I decided to take a chance on the Gerbing. MAN am I glad that I did! They're fantastic! Get the dual-temp controller, at least to control the gloves for now, and believe me that you'll spoil yourself quickly and want the jacket, so you'll already have the controller for the two. It comes with everything that you need to get going for future sets too.
Just make sure to e-mail Gerbing to register your items to ensure you get their warranty.
They may be a little pricey, but the T-5 gloves (I don't use the hybrid part of them, but they are warmer by default than the G3's and fit better for me) are definitely worth every dollar!
