Gerbing Gloves - Which Ones?
Hey guys,
Gerbing's makes several types of battery operated heated gloves. If one wants to purchase the 12V Hybrid gloves, one needs to wait to get the separate battery pack. But, they have other models like the 7V Fleece Gloves and the 7V S2 Gloves, both of which are cheaper than the Hybrid's and include the battery pack. But it says they are not made for use on a motorcycle. Does anybody know why? I guess it's because they are not reinforced.
I am asking because I need heated gloves ASAP, and if protection is the only reason why these gloves are not meant to be used on a motorcycle, I don't give a rat's ***. I just wear gloves to protect my hands from the elements and to keep them warm - my personal choice.
Thanks for your help!

I have the Hybrids and they are the real deal and likely worth waiting for. Call Gerbings and speak to the Tech guy to see how the other models differ and whether they will work for you.

G3 or G5. If you already have a pair of gloves you like get the liners. G3 are all leather with padded palm and a great cold glove. The G5 have more padding on the nuckles and a longer gauntlet. I have been running G3's for 4 years (till i burnt them by leaving them plugged in too long). This time I went for the G5's for the added padding and longer gauntlet.
Edit: T5 not G5.

I'd prefer to have battery operated gloves. I don't want to be hooked up to a cable, or is it not that inconvenient? How does it work exactly? Gerbing's website is not very helpful on this.

I have been using these for about two years, and they work Great for 4-5 hour trips on the middle setting, and about 2 hours on high.
