Gerbing gloves not as warm as I thought they'd be(?)
Just got a set of new gloves(new as in never used, they look like one of the models from the last 2 years).
I keep hearing that these gloves get so hot, that alot of folks have to install a temp control, or have to switch off on occasion.
I didn't have that problem at all.
They absolutely have juice, they warm up a bit before I take off, but when I'm riding(even in 40 degree weather), I can't feel the warmth at all. It's just not cold, with a couple of my finger tips still getting a little nippy.
Brand new battery on a 91 FLSTF, as well. Think it's the gloves??
Thanks in advance, all!

Mine don't get so hot...but they warm well...I can ride at 20 degrees and not have my fingers cold. to me, that's all I want from a heated glove. Getting hot will only make my hands sweat, and when I remove the gloves, or they somehow get turned off, that sweat will freeze...that's not something you want to happen...
I would call mine...Comfortable.

Mine feel like they are burning the back of my hands if I have them cranked all the way up and it's not cold enough. I would think something is wrong with the pair you have if they are only getting warm in 40° temps. At those temps, I wouldn't even plug mine in.

Something's wrong. I rode the 'Train nearly 500 miles Saturday with the temperature in the upper '30s for the first and last few hours, and my gloves were soaked with sweat when I took them off. It was 29 degrees when I left the house this morning on the Limited, and I didn't have to plug them in (gotta love a Batwing).
