Heated Glove Liners
It was 36 degrees today in State College, which felt balmy given the weather over the past few weeks. Decided to get out on the Sporty and rode about 60 miles or so. I've been able to stay quite warm with good boots, ski jacket and full helmet. However, my hands still freeze and heavy gloves slow my braking reaction - not good. Saw $49 battery powered glove liners on Brookstone.com and was wondering if anyone on the forum has tried them.

if u look around long enough in sporting good stores and places like target or kmart, you will find some nice thinsulate ski gloves that are thin enough to use with a motorcycle, and warm enough that you dont need liners.
i just bought some NICE ones for 3.99, on sale from 14.99. these things are really thin but they are the warmest gloves ive ever worn for the bike. of course they dont have leather or the expensive stuff, but its built well and has rubber grip on the under side and doesnt absorb water.

Joseph...
I thought you guys from LA only rode in shorts and tank tops. Why you wearin' winter gloves!?!? You're wrecking my LA fantasy. Next thing I know, you'll be telling me all those 6' blonds out there aren't natural
Seriously, I wore thinsulate ski gloves yesterday with one of those small heating pads in my palm and still froze. The gloves are too damn bulky and I almost broadsided a pickup who ran a stop sign because I didn't get on the brakes fast enough. Thinner gloves will help my grip, but doubt they do much for my frostbitten mitts.
Gerbings look nice, but I'm guessing being wired up is a pain for the relatively short trips I'm likely to take in the winter. I'm gonna try the Brookstones and will report back.

I'm gonna have to remember to check out Brookstone's at the airport when I get to work. Maybe I'll just try them online. The Gerbings and others just seem too damn bulky for me, and my HD heated grips are...well they worked great last year but now they barely get lukewarm on the highest setting. I've got several pairs of great gloves, but sometimes a little assisted heat is welcomed.

Gerbings are the best. Way better than the H-D branded stuff
