Thanks, I always find those a good read even if every other website has them.

Although I found it funny that those are the Keis G501 gloves, which I don't consider much better than normal winter gloves.

I use liners under mine otherwise the gloves burn the hand and fingers still get cold Rolling Eyes

Alternatively, put the bike away until the weather improves.

I have a Klan and a Kies heated jaikit. Both work as described in the box.

The good thing on the Klan one is the heating element continues around the collar. F#cking toastie AF.

I have heated grips on the k1300 but I looked at heated gloves for the litre bike as I would only fit OEM heated grips as the diameter doesn't change. I don't like the bulky feel of Oxford & etc. But I don't have to use the litre bike in winter so much so got a bit meh... about heated gloves. Bulk issue there too.

They say important things.
Warm hands could be more important than anything as your concentration dies when your fingers begin to chill. And if you suffer from Renauds disease then forget biking in winter without some heating.

I find even retaining some core temp in the arms helps keep ones handypops warm. Warm insulating jumpers. Avoid cotton as it soaks up and retains moisture from perspiration and then the moisture conducts body heat to the cold outside.

And squeeze-release the grips to encourage blood circulation can help. Same as clapping your hands and rubbing them. Not whilst moving on the bike of course. 🙄😀

I got caught out one afternoon riding up from Newcastle to Glezga. It got freezing suddenly as I crossed the Solway. Had to buy a bike mag from a service station to shove down the front of my jacket to deflect the ice-blast blowing through the weather flap in my jacket. Inner zip, outer zip and press-stud flap over the zip. Wind still gets through. Or maybe I'm a Fairy/Jessie/Snowflake. 🤔

I would never buy a jacket from someone that can't even spell it.

Either use the English language properly, or use whatever passes for a language in that land of savages you roam around in, and I'll plug it into Google Translate.
