sportsbikeshop still have the Oxford heated grips on sale I cannot rate them highly enough. They saved my hands last winter.. pair them with Tucano muffs and my hands were toasty, even with summer gloves
Now, if my RainPal would just turn up i wouldn't have to worry about getting my left glove wet |

With the recent acquisition of a Honda Deauville 650 for commuting duty, I have for the first time experienced heated grips, which are great, but also this week I installed some Tucano R333 muffs.
I have to say from my first outing, that the combination of the two has been brilliant, I've used summer gloves and my fingers haven't been able to tell that it's been 5C, the real test will be in a month or two, when it may (or may not be) closer to freezing in the mornings. I have winter gloves if need be, but they are so bulky if I can get away with sticking with summer gloves I'll be chuffed |

Can you clarify what you are calling "summer gloves" for me please?
My summer gloves are very similar to:
https://www.revzilla.com/product_images/0031/6530/TwentyNinerGloveBlackFront_listing.jpg
And I struggled with the really cold temps even with Oxford heated grips and muffs.
Is there something in between winter and the above that I would be worth purchasing? ____________________ 1993 RF400R - 2002 Bandit 1200 - 2012 1250 FA |

My summer gloves are a pair of Alpinestars GP Pro that I bought in 2013. Leather race gloves basically, loads of feel and well armoured. But zero thermal advantage in the cold.
For winter gloves I have some Hein Gerickes specials that cost me £30, back when I was a poor student about 8 years ago, they have done me proud enough. They would keep the cold out for about 15mins in very cold weather on a motorway, then it's inevitable.
I recently bought some Richa Arctics, after reading the best buy review by Ride. They are every bulky, but pretty warm as far as gloves go.
Edit: 3C this morning, the A* summer gloves, heated grips and muffs worked perfectly |

A continuing review on the Gerbing XR7 heated gloves; well into freezing mornings now and my hands are perfectly fine. When it's sub zero your hands don't get 'warm' as such they just feel perfectly normal body temp. Quite deceptive actually, easy to fool yourself it's not cold until you remember your feet are fucking freezing
Ergonomically they're a bit clunky to put on with the battery in the cuff, have to spend a minute faffing to get them over my jacket cuff otherwise cold air blasts up there but other than that I'm well impressed. ____________________ Current bikes: '08 VFR 800 VTEC(yo) , '07 ZZR1400 Winter hack: '95 Aprilia 650 Pegaso Currently lusting after: RC30 |
