tbh honest, if you're looking to wear them on the bike, they look shyte.

For 100 pounds (119 euros), your better off going for an actual motorcycle heated glove.

I have a pair of the Gerbing G3s, and they are well and truly awesome. You can pick them up from Hein Gericke for the same price. They come with a battery harness to wire them to the bike, so theres not need to faff about with charging them etc. just plug in and go

the leather is of a good quality which will protect you during a crash. Also, its worth rememering that the big names are a safer bet when it comes to those things, because the cheaper ones tend to have 'hotspots' where the glove gets much hotter in one place than the rest and this can be extremely uncomfortable

Rather than spend a ridiculous amount of money on specialst gloves, you could try using a thin, tight fitting pair (about £2) and on top of them, your normal pair. That is what I do my hands stay warm. Obviously, going xx speed in -5°C will be cold no matter what.

I got a pair of these just before Christmas and have been very impressed. Was out this week in the lovely Welsh rain and cold and my hands were toasty and bone dry. They just go over your regular gloves and keep you very dry. £40 is not bad either and they fit over any gloves. They also fold up small so if you want to take them off they fit in a pocket/tank bag easily. Work for me.

Hope this helps.

Its not about the destination, its the journey that counts.

I find alpinestars jet road good in winter but can be fiddly to put on but worth the time to put on.
