I've got both and that is the best of both worlds. I am really interested in hearing from those of you that have had the heated grips fail.
I've had mine for two seasons now and had no problems with them. I think the grips have the potential to burn themselves out. I very seldom turn the grips on to 3. Most of the time I set them at 2.
For those of you that have had heated grips fail, did you routinely set them at 4 or 5? I'm wondering if that is the cause of the failure.

I have both the heated gloves and the heated bar ends. As stated by others they are good down to about 30. Below that I put on the gloves. Nice thing about hot grips is it allows me to ride with thinner gloves that provides better feel for the controls.

Not putting them up to the highest setting because they will burn out is redonkulus! That is like only driving 20 mph so your vehicle will last longer. If the product can't handle being set at 5, then it should not be an available setting.

Just had my second pair of contour heated grips break in the past four years, each time it's the left grip that broke. First pair replaced under warranty a year or so ago. Out of luck this time. Will likely go with Heat Demons.
