What kind of cold weather gloves do you wear.  I can't find mine and going down to 28 tonight!!!!  Gonna be a cold ride to work in the am.

I have to buy a new pair and dont wanna get junk again.  I do have heated grips so that helps some.

Thanks, Rich

I'm still riding up here in Alaska... all this week it's been in the low 20's in the am and upwards of mid to high 30's by the afternoon.

The heated grips seems to transfer the heat better through my standard 'summer' weight full fingered gloves... than it does on my HD 'winter' gloves.  Although, the winter gloves do help keep the wind out of the sleeves on the jacket.

I'm using the 'winter' gloves in the morning, and the 'summer' gloves in the afternoon.

I've found that I'm changing out for gloves ever other year anyway, so why go with something a bit spendy, when all it takes is a good ride in a rain storm to degrade the quality of a 'waterproof' glove.  When I find I'm going to have to ride in the rain regardless... I slip on a pair of the 'mechanics' gloves under the leather to keep my hands dry.

heated gloves.

2 years when it got really cold in the mountains and I didn't have my heated gloves I put the heat packs - thermal hand warmers in the gloves.

Gerbings!

Used to do the heat packs, thermal wraps and more other bad ideas than I care to remember.  Then got the electric gloves from Gerbing with the thermostatic controller.  Nothing was better.  Not even close.  Put them in combination with the heated grips and even Uncle Nubby stays warm enough.

Where is the best place to get them?  What does the cord look like??

Discounts are available but....Gerbing  will not allow dealers to advertise discounts. You have to make a deal with your local shop like I did.

There is, or at least used to be, a better and more easily handled warranty on the Gerbing products if bought directly from Gerbing.  It was a difference worth taking advantage of so worthwhile to check and see if the same still applies.

I ride with the HD Mid Weight waterproof gloves and the heated grips. It work for when it gets into the high 20's for me. After it get to cold it doesn't matter. Nothing keeps my hands warm.

Gerbing....everything else is back down hill.

The old Gerbing warranty (where you had to have a receipt if not bought directly from Gerbing) went out the door with Jeff Gerbing's ex-wife.  At the international motorcycle show last year, Jeff Gerbing told us that if it has his name on it, it's got a warranty on it. 

Since then, both Terrie and I have had liners and gloves repaired that we did not have receipts on and did not buy from Gerbing.

I have 3 year old Gerbing Nubucks with micro wire which I really like, but one failed the day before a trip, and a cold departure.

So I bought a pair of the new G3 gerbings, the worked great and I like them.

The new bucks are off for warranty repairs.

Now we will have a spare set, as my wife uses gerbing on her bike too.

I bought the Harley branded Gerbing gloves - Not sure exactly what model they translate to, perhaps the T5?

Anyway, I used them one time on the bike and they are just way too thick. You just feel way too detached, and makes working buttons and stuff almost impossible. Seeing they get super hot, you can't turn them up much, so except under the most extreme conditions, they are overkill, imho.  I actually used them on the Deere tractor when snow blowing and even then, they are over the top.

I'd prefer Gerbing make thinner gloves based on the liners that simply had a waterproof Gortex link outer cover. With the amount of heat these things put out, that would handle 90% of what we see in the lower 48, and allow better feel and dexterity.

Could be, the Gerbing T5 felt to thick and bulky for me, which is why I went T3 for my second pair, much thinner and can feel the controls.  Not quite as well as with my old Gerbin Nubucks, but those are well broken in so that could be it.

Heat is why I use a dual temp controller, can keep gloves and pants turned down, and the Jacket liner a little warmer.
