I'll pitch in my $.02! I started with thick leather gauntlets, and that worked alright for a while, but when temps got below 40, it was a bit too chilly. Then I added wool liners, and that got me down another 5-10 degrees. I added hand guards, and that allowed me to get down to freezing before needing heated gloves. OP, I think you will find that most "battery" heated gloves either 1) don't last very long, or 2) don't actually heat very much. The kind that plug into the bike battery are going to be best. You can find some used on eBay for under $100, which is a good deal, since new are usually $200+. You COULD go with glove liners, but they only seem to work about half as well as the heated gloves. Believe me, I've tried both. The heated liners might work down to about 20 degrees, but my gloves have gotten down to 13 degrees, so far, and my hands were almost sweating when I got to work. With heated gloves, the heat pad is in the palm, which transfers through the hand to the back, but glove liners try to heat the whole hand, front and back, but only do so half as well, so your hands don't "feel" the heat as much, and with wind, it can be lost quicker, too. I suppose you could combine a windproof outer layer over your gloves with the heated liners, but that adds more "bulk", making movement more difficult, especially in emergency situations, which you DON'T want. This is why I recommend the heated gloves, which already have a windproof outer layer, and the heat gets distributed better, IMHO. Personally, I haven't needed other heated gear, as the majority of the trouble with cold I noticed as in my hands. Plus, I'm not sure how much "extra" power there is on this bike, to be sure that I won't be draining the battery. When you add it all up; 50W for jacket liner, 30W for pant liner, another 10W for boot insoles, and another 10W for gloves, you're taking 100W total away from being able to charge the battery, and most manufacturers don't leave that much "extra" from the stator/regulator, above what the battery needs.

 

I have one pair of H-D heated gloves that I use on the bike.
(When I bought these gloves several years ago they came with a basic "on/off" switch which I do not recommend using).
I have a "panel" mounted power jack (in the LH mid-frame heat deflector) on my bike and my trike.
I have a Gerbing heated jacket liner with the dual heat controller that is packed into a leather "holster" with a belt clip that I can hand onto my jacket or pants pocket for easy access to change the settings.
A dual controller allows you to set the temp for your gloves at the desired setting and the other for your jacket liner.

On the bike side, the electrical hook-up is a simple, two-wire, fused harness that for a jacket/glove combo requires a 10AMP fuse (supplied in the kit).

I also have a pair of Gerbing 12v (Hybrid) gloves that I can use two small 12v batteries (tucked in to each glove gauntlet) OR I can also use them on my bike or trike.

The small batteries have 3 settings and on the lower setting I can usually get about 3 hours use, but on the highest setting I get a little over an hour or so out of a full charge.
They're great for plowing or blowing snow!

 

Another vote for heated gloves. I got the 12v Gerbing Vanguards last fall and they not only keep my hands warm, they are by far the most comfortable gloves I've ever owned. Super premium, soft materials and lining. Like other's have said, the wiring really isn't bad (you just have to remember that you're tethered to the bike!), especially if you have the wireless controller like I do. https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/...al-temp-remote I made a velcro mount under the left side controls and that makes it easy to find the controls when riding and take it off the bike when parked. The only complaint I have is that the fingers are a little bulky, so it is more difficult to use the stereo controls accurately. But that is a small price to pay for being able to feel my fingers!

 

Does anyone make heated gloves that just plug into the cigarette lighter on your bike (obviously this only applies to touring models) I think it would be awesome on my Road Glide. I have that port right there in the fairing and I always thought it would be really convenient and not have to mess around with the hooking something up to the battery.

 

Without all the goofy looking wrap's, wires, the expense and headaches related to heated gear get yourself a set of plain old slim ski gloves, screw the fashion statement and $$$$ for the trendy ****.

 

 

I have a pair of thinsulate gloves made by First and on my last 20° ride they did the job great. They have a water proof liner as well as a wiper blade on one index finger. I do have a fairing though which does make a bit of difference.

 

Powerlet heated liners under Held insulated gloves. Not cheap but you will never feel anything but warm (or on fire if u dial up the liners). Head to toe liners also available, have the jacket...simply amazing.

 

I had some Amazon gift card money laying around, so I just ordered these:

They are scheduled to arrive on Saturday & I have a toy ride on Sunday in 50 degree weather. Good chance to try them out & see if I want to keep them.
