Heated grips. Purely for convenience. Always available on your bike. No silly wires. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

Definitely the grips, convenient, don't need any extra batteries/charging prior use and you don't have to plug anything in when you want to go for a ride.
On the other hand, I did some miles in -5°C and lower, with just my standard motorcycle gloves with warm inserts (thin knitted gloves) and it was alright. So I would also question, if anything electric is even necessary. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

I do like my Gerbings heated gloves, but they've not been without fault. When they work, they're brill, super toasty hands even at motorways speeds in sub zero conditions. The plugging in faff, whilst yes it is faff, you soon become accustomed, so that it adds no more than an extra minute to your gear up ritual. You do have to make a conscious decision around this time of year when you'll switch from summer gloves and shove all the wiring back in your jacket. So, there has been the odd chilly morning where a set of heated grips there on bike ready to turn on would have been nice.
I've had the Gerbings several years and durability hasn't been great in past. But with a lifetime warranty on their electrical side, I've been provided with new pairs many times, turned round in couple of days, no questions asked. Each new pair has progressively lasted longer and longer, designs and quality have improved - got two winters of daily riding out latest pair, we'll see if they last a third winter. Still, it does mean they've been the only winter glove purchase I've ever made, never been able to wear them out before the electrical connections fail! ____________________ Beginner Biker Adventures Blog

Heated grips, as I don't like faff and do not want to be plugged in to anything on bike.
Muffs are Great but I find decent handlebar guards are better for me. They also don't look like shit.
Be careful with muffs. The oxford ones I had above ~60 would fold in a depres the brake. ____________________ Well, you know what they say. If you want to save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs.
