Heated jacket would be better. I don't have one but just were layers. You need to make sure you whole body is kept warm not just your hands. Cold hands are due to blood staying with your core. This is why you tend to also get cold feet.
Neck tubes/balaclaver are very useful.
For gloves I use the lobster style ones but hands will still get cold if I don't wear enough layers.
This is why I tend to mostly commute with the car in winter. It just takes so long getting dressed. Maybe I should invest in a heated jacket  |

"Good" (Tucano Urbano) if you can, but even cheap generic ones make a huge difference.
Forget fannying about with gloves, skip the fashion victimhood, muffs do a much better job.
Nearly the season to put them back on.  ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Is it that time of year already?
So time pack away my self-riteousness about people riding in flip-flops and a t-shirt until next year. Time to get the "Fit bar muffs." copypasta and blaming of all electrical problems on carb icing down out of the loft? ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.

I only have one bike hard wired so use a battery pack when riding the other bikes - last for 90 mins max, which is enough for me most days, but you've obviously got the hassle of re-charging. |
I use muffs, but also have very cold hands.
Would you give us more details about the inner gloves? What brand, are they coming with battery or you bought it separetely? Do I need to buy separate regulator?
Common man give us the whole story here

What heated muffs? G. I swear I googled and there is no such think, found some Oxford crap advertised as heated muffs HOWEVER it is not. Its just heated hand warmers with muffs...
EDIT: found em. Kind of expensive £137

Probably will go this winter with muffs and heated gloves. ____________________ Adrian Monk: Unless I'm wrong, which, you know, I'm not...
