Not tried them however from the advert..

They are not designed for motorcycles, and the batteries only last 45 minutes...

Be much cheaper to buy a decent pair of gloves in the long run.

45 mins for a set of 3 battries........ Shocked and 5 of that will be heating the gloves up. Bet that is best figures as well and not when working hard like on a bike.
So £6 buys you 180 mins.... Crying or Very sad

You then have to find a pair of bike gloves to fit over them as well....


As to the vests....

OK - this should be used in the following way; turn on the power for a few minutes to warm up the jacket - turn off. It is not deisgned to be powered up constantly and if used in this way the batteries will last no more than 40 to 50 minutes

heated grips are great for the palms of you hands yes!, but I have same problem too! my clutch fingers still get cold!
now, I know they are not the most attractive and 'coolest' things going, but I swear by handlebar muffs Shifty , as I use my bike to commute, i have found with the heated grips, my hands/fingers are nice and toasty for the duration of the journey!!!! Embarassed
