Thanks for the feedback, badfl97. What brand did you get? I'm not wanting to spend too much for them as I will probably not need them very often.

I got the Harley gloves $140.00 and I still need to get batteries another 30 something dollars each so personally more then I would pay. My wife baught them for me, I ride to work a lot but once it gets in the 30's I put it away. I can't wait to use them. But I can say this, they are a real nice glove I'm sure I will have them for many years so for what I want I think they will pay off.

I have the Gerbing gloves,battery powered an love them! I use then to ride to work which is 15 miles each way. On high I can go back and forth 1.5 times. If you drop the power to 3/4 they still keep you warm. On a side note they work rally good with a snow shovel or snow blower too! Ya cann't do that with the wired ones........I got them here http://www.herringtoncatalog.com/cs215.html and they came with the batteries. I think with the HD ones the batteries are extra. I would buy tem again!!

i have the hybred (battery or plug-in) gloves by gerbing. i developed some frost bite after riding a season w/out good gloves so i bought the gerbings to see if these would help. they are a little bite thicker then what i was used to, so that took about a week or so to break-in.
i ride 25 miles to work...can wear them on high...store them in my bags then wear them home on high and they almost last the whole way home. the medium setting is no problem there and back.
i've worn them to my sons hockey games...some of those rinks can get pretty cold when you're just standing there...and they work great!
drawbacks that i have found - kind of expensive...paid over $250.00 (think the price has come down a bit since i bought) the gauntlet part of the glove (over the sleeve) is a nylon and 1st time i used them slide off my bike and just touched my pipes 'pssst' hole in nylon...aargh! still work great thou...and don't plan on wearing your watch with the gloves. the battery is in a lil zipper compartment which is right on top of where your watch is...this makes is hard to move your wrist back and forth when you tight'n the gloves.
the positives outweigh the negitives...i figure each of my fingers is worth $25. the hole was my fault. and i have a clock on my HK stereo.
i would buy them again. along w/my battery powered vest...i'm nice and toasty. 2 full riding seasons and still going strong...just keep em charged-up and you're good to go. they allow me to concentrate on riding and not distracted about how cold my frick'n hands are...lol

I have the Gerbing glove and jacket liners. I wire them direct to the battery and run the cables up through the riders back rest hole. When not plugged up I stuff them in the flap on the backrest. I never know the wire is there unless I forget when I get off and feel the tug. On long trips through the Nothwest in september the heated gear is great, and it saves a lot of space. My HD heated grips crapped out after six months but the liners are stille going strong after two years.
