Heated Gloves

[unspec]

With the colder weather inevitable as we get closer to winter I have decided to get some heated gloves. I don't want heated grips so gloves are the other option to toast my fingers.

I think it's between these two brands.

I like the look of these gloves more, but they aren't cheap at £130.

Similar price, but I'm not as keen on the look. Of course, if the Gerbing is much better quality than the EX02 then that probably seals the deal.

Has anyone used this kit before? Or is there another brand I should be looking at?

Cheers

I got those Gerbings and are really good, but I will suggest to go for the ones without the battery pack, I think they are a little cheaper, the batteries are too heavy for normal use and they don't last.

I've used other brands, and found Gerbing with that microwire stuff are the best ones. The heat is uniform and there is no funny wires.
The only bad thing is that they are really ugly 8), but I prefer to be warm and toasty than look good 8)

I also bough some Gerbings heated inner gloves from US, which can be used with any normal gloves, haven't tested yet (my brother gave me those T5 as a present two weeks after I got the inner ones. Try searching in ebay, I got the inners for something around 50 quids.

Stay way from cheap stuff like "Klan", the cable/sockets don't last and you get burns marks over the hands from the the heated wires.

I got a set of these last winter and they are brill.

*Just read the above post and no probs with Klan here

The "Klan" I had were inner gloves, maybe those are better, they look like a new model.
I have lost track of how many times I've to resolder the internal plugs due broken wires and bad contacts.

Klan is shite compared to others.
The heated inner things take ages to heat up.

Keep your arms warm in cold weather it helps keep your blood warm so your handy-pops don't suffer so much.
Long sleeve base layers and good wind proofing works.

A mate of mine has exo2 and has found them okay, unfortunately the male-female connector burnt out, but they did replace it under warranty and did a fairly quick turn around.
