Heated grips will give you heat as long as they work but not all around your fingers will the gloves. If this were a vote I wold go for the Gerbing. And the add ons can't be beat.
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.........
I have heated grips and will probably get some heated gloves soon. The grips are good until around 40 degrees. I'm hoping that gloves will make riding more comfortable when it's below 40.
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...
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!
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!
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.
