Title: Battery powered Heated Gloves
Post by: EAGLE1 on February 12, 2007, 07:23:22 PM
Anybody try or have of a pair that works, I have seen a few on the market as of late, but have not herd if they can keep up with the thermal loss on a bike, I have read the threads on the bike powered Gerbing G3 not keeping up under 30, so It doesn't sound promising for this technology.

The G3 gloves by Gerbing are marginal at best and I do most of my riding in Arizona.  Unfortunately, aside from their bulkier old style glove, I am unaware of a warmer product.   I would call Gerbing directly because someone sent their's back so that the glove could be reworked to perform better.  That person reported improved performance. As for their heated liner, it's terrific!!!!

I'm actually satisfied with my G3 gloves.  But it's becuase their engineering and my idea of "how cold is too cold" to ride regularly pretty well match up.  The gloves keep up down to somewhere around freezing, perhaps even a bit below.  You can still feel them helping you in that range.  But below that range I'm not riding anyway.  I'm old and slow with alternative transportation anymore.  25-30 outside, snow on the road, and all that other mess that goes along with it and I want to be in the cage anyway.  Better weather and the bike calls me; and the gloves work just fine.
