Gloves for heated grips
I remember that there were a couple of companies making glove for heated grips. They had less insulation between the hand and the grip. But the usual insulation on top
Google no longer finds anything like that.
Any one know if any now?

I wore the standard HD winter gloves…not the Gauntlet ones. My hand were comfy down to 35 degrees. Probably some technical stuff about warming the palms directly warms the entire hand.

Lee Parks Deersports PCI. I’ve had a pair for probably 20 years now and they’re still the gloves I grab when the temperatures drop.

I just got these delivered this week but haven't tried them out yet on the heated grips on my BMW. They are thin enough that I have no doubt that the grips will work as advertised. I only hope that they're insulated enough the protect the tops of my hands (fairing or not.)

The trick is not to put heated gloves atop heated grips, its to get your core warm, you will be amazed at that difference. Buy a heated jacket liner or vest, use a Powerlet socket of SAE 2-prong to connect to the bike at the battery and wear it under your jacket. Seal off the area between your neck and helmet as that is where the largest heat loss occurs out the top of your jacket. When your core is kept warm, your blood flows to your extremities and your feet and hands will be comfortable. When your core is cold, your body restricts blood flow to your hands and feet to keep the internal organs warm.
Many times I have ridden in 20 degree weather and had to turn the handlebar grips off and open the zipper on the jacket. Really makes a difference. I ride with an Aerostitch Kanetsu Liner below 40 degrees.

Interesting that someone would make a glove for heated grips that is thinner on the palm & grip side of the glove. My experience is this is exactly opposite of what actually works. My complaint with heated grips is that when its cold and you turn them up, your palms are too hot and the back of the fingers are cold. What really works for me when its cold is to use a thin glove liner in addition to the glove. The liner seems to help spread the heat through the glove much better. Put the liner in, crank the heat up, palms don't get to hot, heat spreads to the back of the fingers much better.

I have lined gloves for colder weather riding and I feel the heat from the grips. Works pretty good. Any colder and I just use heated gloves and I don't even turn on the heated grips.
