anyone use battery powered heated gloves? i have 2 bikes and need them to be 7v, and dont want to pay a fortune for Gerbing. thanks
They usually have 20% off few times a year, if that helps. I say that because they are really well
made and last a very looooong time. Mine are close to 15 years old and still look extremely good. No hiccups so far.
Sold at warming store. If you sign up they will send you a 20% coupon. Definitely 20% off during thanksgiving. Worth it IMO.
I cheaped out last year and bought Unigear rechargeable gloves. They are 'OK' but below 15°F or so I put mechanic style nitrile gloves under them as they do let some air through and will cause frostbite. I used to have Gerbing and there is absolutely no comparison. The Unigear don't even heat the back of my fingers. It's hard to buy Gerbing all the time though because the batteries seem to only last one season.
Back in 2012 I bought the Gerbing Gloves and jacket liner. Mine are plug into the bike 12 volt.
Yesterday (1-28-25) I did a short ride with the heated gear to make sure they were ready for my FL trip in about 3 weeks. Success! They warmed up fine and I had to turn them down a little as they were roasting me. Ready for FL trip!
I still have my Widder vests that I purchased 20+ years ago. Widder is gone now, and I am looking at the Gerbing gloves and jacket liner. Buy quality once and you'll have them for many years.
Bought Gerbing gloves and jacket liner a couple months ago and they are a game changer for the cold ride to work. The 12V on the bike is the way to go, you can hook them to your battery tender plug with an adaptor or get a dedicated connector like I did for both my bikes. Use the tender adaptor if you ride someone else's bike.
I use Milwaukee Leather. They have both wired/ battery and battery only. They work well. I use battery only and have a second set of batteries I carry, for the gloves and jacket. The jacket is a battery only soft shell.
