I have Gerbings battery powered gloves. Work very nice and the battery lasts a while. Two hours at 180 deg. or 8 hours at 130 I think. Rechargable.........

Normal gloves work fine for me to lower temps than that. I have a pair of Widder heated gloves that I don't use at all because I find them awkward to put on (running the wires down my sleeves when I gear up. Maybe if I had the vest/jacket liner to go with them it would be different.

probably going to list my gloves here next week since I haven't used them the last 2 winters...

has a coupon code that gives 20% their products which includes Gerbing stuff. The code is "sharewarm"

My wife used some borrowed heated gear 2 weekends ago when we rode up to LaCrosse, WI and thought it was the greatest stuff since sliced bread.

20% off can save some coin, and the stuff is a bit pricey. My wife wound up getting the jacket liner, and the T5 gloves. Saved $73 bucks!

Heat Demons seem to be really good. My Harley grips lasted four years, with intermittent use. We have a local dealer with a Heat Demons display that they never turn off---it's been heating for years on their counter.

I have the gloves & they're awesome. If the heated grips, on a bike, work as well as heated grips on a snowmobile then I would say get the grips & ride with thin lined gloves (I've never used heated grips on a bike). I personally use a pair of Harley's FXRG leather gloves when I ride the snowmobile (25 degrees!) & my hands stay warm to hot the whole day!

I bought my Gerbings from them last year; great price but it took forever to get the gloves. make sure you call to see whats in stock first. Despite the time delay I'll probably order from them again.

I have the HD heated gloves and jacket liner and have not been cold riding yet. I have been out when it is below freezing and riding on the interstate with no problems. The gloves are a bit bulky but work just fine. I didnt know about Gerbings til after I bought the HD version, but have heard good things about them.
