Has anyone tried/seen/purchased the new Gerbing Battery Powered Gloves yet?  I ride all winter and am not much into heated gear.  I have every area figured out (without heated gear) except my hands.  Even with the heated grips, the backs get cold.  Didn't want to go the whole route of heated just to get gloves.  I see now that Gerbing is producing rechargeable battery (lithium) gloves - any one know anything about them or where a deal on them might be.  Looks like about $200 with the chargers from what I've seen so far.

thanks in advance and happy fall riding,

Blue

Been wondering the same thing myself Blue. There's an HD version too. Prolly the same gloves since Gerbing makes their gear. I've heard that the earlier ones were not as warm as the plug-ins. But these new models are supposed to be pretty good. Maybe someone has tried them?

I will have my wife check into the HD ones tommorow.  She thinks that they make one that are plug in and battery operated but shes not 100% sure.

Coincidently I happen to be looking at Gerbing heated gear at the moment and you can get electric cheap(er) then that and don't have to worry about replacing batteries. See here - Gerbing Gloves.

Yeah Sean, the setup's not cheap! But if it frees me from the wires, and can still do as good of a job, I'll find a way to justify it in my mind!

But I'd really like to know if it works well enough to spend that much on gloves though!

Hoist!

wired gloves without the jacket make no sense. need to have both hands tethered to the bike

Not with the T'stat.

[naitram]

how would you connect both hands to the tstat? i connect them to my jacket and my jacket to tstat

Mine wire inside your sleeves from both gloves, then down to the belt clip mounted T'stat. The T's stat plugs ya into the battery from your belt.

gotcha, just a few minutes extra to get suited up

I have a pair dad gave me a few years back, 'lectric or something like that - took a D in each glove...horrible.

I dont' know how the MoCo gets away with it, but they sell you the gloves for $170 with the battery charger, but NOT the batteries!!  You have to buy the "optional" batteries for $40 a piece and of course, you need two of them, so now the gloves run you $250.  The Gerbings' sound cheaper and probably just as good, if not better.

Thanks Hoist and gang.  Stopped by Battlefield Harley (Gettysburg, PA) this morning and they didn't have the lithium battery HD gloves in stock - like Hoist, I figured they were probably the same.  You can find the one's I'm interested in (known as Gerbing Core Heat Snow Gloves) at TwistedThrottle - check it out here.  http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/productview/3865/589/  for $199 and Derby Cycles http://www.derbycycles.com/cgi-bin/eShop/index.cgi?cart_id=8493469.50485&pid=3204&product=Gerbing&count=1   for $179.  I didn't see where the Derby one's include the charger(s) but may have missed it. 

The interesting thing about these for me is that I don't need the rest of the heated gear and I like the idea of being able to use the gloves independently whether riding or doing something else. 

If anyone has any experience with these, I, Hoist and apparently others would like to hear and/or if you know where any better deals on these are...

thanks,

Blue
