Gerbing offers battery-powered heated gloves.<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

My wife, Judy, was reading this blog and told me last night that I had better not go running out and buy heated gloves because that would ruin her plans for a Christmas gift. Then she thought a moment and said that actually, she probably ought to do some of her Christmas shopping early, before Gerbing realizes they lowered the price<\/a> on their gloves to meet the competition, while the competition raised their price. I think I’m going to have warm hands when I ride this winter.<\/p>\n

I also heard from my friend, Dan Leffert, in regard to his experience with heated grips and heated gloves, and I figured I would pass that along. Here’s what Dan had to say.<\/p>\n

I have Gerbing heated gloves and I have heated grips on both bikes. On the Harley, with a full fairing, heated grips are enough down to about 40-45*. Heated gloves are much more comfortable below that for any extended riding (more than about an hour, not the Iron Butt stuff). But I hear ya about what a PITA all the cords are! <\/p>\n

Riding the BMW 650 with OEM hand guards, grips are enough for me for rides less than an hour and only down to about 45-50*. <\/p>\n

I just bought a pair of ridiculously expensive Lee Parks Design heavier weight gloves that have some magical insulation that changes phases and is supposed to be good in both heat and cold, and to work better with heated grips. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve worn them in 80* temps and switched back to my summer weights, while the jury is still out on the lower limits since it really hasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t gotten that cold, yet. I have worn them in temps in the higher 30s and they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been fine, just haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t done lengthy rides in those temps.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So there you go. Hey, why have cold hands when you can have warm hands? I look forward to sharing my experience with all of you.<\/p>\n
