Heated Glove Recommendation

[kawakid]

Okay, I'm getting old and I commute daily.

I do have heated grips, but I still get cold in winter. I've found heated grips useless when the weather is below 5C.

I have heard many people recommend heated grips and also muffs. I do have some muffs but I just don't like them. It just feels wrong. In fact I have only worn them once.

I've got a bit of birthday money and I wondered, what these were like or what others could recommend.

Only thing I'd say with those is they don't seem to have much armour or rigidity to say a pair of Alpinestars tech roads. That would put me off. I've been contemplating my winter gear this past week too. I was considering a heated jacket liner type thing as the warmer your core, the warmer your extremities.

In terms of heated gloves, they are top of the range.
After buying other brands (Klan, unknown, etc) I found those in a US website and they are really good. Before I was using heated grips, but in my case, they didn't make much difference.

They don't have "hard" armour, and they are ugly as hell, but they keep my hands toasty even while there is snow on the roads.
I got the "hybrid" option, which can be used either with batteries or with a cable connected to the bike. I never used them with the batteries, I think they only last for a couple of hours and can be a little bulky.

They use some fancy "micro fibre", so there is no wires around. Only the back of the hand is heated, but that's where the wind hits, so no need for more.

If you want better protection, you can always buy a heated liner and use your own gloves (will suggest one size bigger to give you more space)

I would persevere with the muffs - give them a week or so of everyday riding and you might just settle into them. I have found heated grips, layers of gloves etc never work as well as muffs.

Are they like idiot gloves? Give a hand signal with your right hand and break your nose with the left

i wouldnt trust muffs mounted to the bars, nooooway for me!

im gonna give these a shot: https://www.heated-motorcycle-clothing.co.uk/acatalog/G4_Fingerheaters.html#aAB_2dG4FH

when your booting it down the motorway doing 150 miles or so in minus 10 degrees like last winter, you realize heated clothing is a must, i had heated inners last year but they were bulky.

what also makes a massive difference is keeping your core warm, a sleevless jacket under your normal jacket will not just keep your wasit warm, it will increade your entire body temp inc your hands!

Used muffs for 3 years every winter, never had trouble finding controls, or with them pushing levers. The only thing on the YBR was that they would occasionally switch the headlight to high beam and it was a pain having to take my hand out to wave 'thanks' to other folks on the road.

Another vote for keeping on with the muffs, presuming they are good muffs.
If they are ones that aren't secured properly, either make a bracket or get some good ones.

In combination with the grips, there should be little they can't handle - I doubt any gloves will have quite the wind-stopping and insulating abilities of decent muffs.

No problems with them pressing against the levers at motorway speeds. Give or take 20mph.

Not had to use the cable ties..i just push on the rubber grommet over the bar ends. Quick 10 second changeover should the day warm up.

I've had mine at a sustained 130mph or so (Germany, innit ) and they have strarted to push down on the bars a levers (it's a sports bike and my arms were probably angled down a bit), but they weren't pushing back, just down.
