I have had very good luck with the G3s but have discovered that they are not as long a gauntlet as the old style which means you need to get them pulled up over your jacket sleeve to keep the wind out.
As my G3s have broken in they are stretching a bit and are going up/staying over the sleeve much better than when new.  Am pretty darned happy with mine.
I also keep my thermostat for the gloves set at about 3/4 when i am riding at 40 or below - have not had to go all the way to max setting yet and i have notoriously cold hand problems.
Oh yeah, one other comment. I had to go a size larger than normal with the G3s.

Up date on the G3`s- I returned them to the factory. Yesterday I received them from Gerbing, they have been reworked. Will post again as soon as the weather turns colder and I can try them out.

I chose to ride my FXDWG this morning to put the gloves to a true test , since there is not a fairing to block the wind. It was 36 degrees this morning when I left the house. Had the thermostat turned to max but, within 10 minutes I was turning it down. I can say my gloves have been corrected. Seems the factory has added more wires in the gloves. I am glad to say that Gerbing has stood behind their product!! I am sure that even in the 20`s they will be fine.

I have had the G3's since May.  Does anyone know when they made the wiring modification?

Hey Billy, can you provide details on what you did to them. I have a pair of Medium G-3's I'm giving to my wife and ordering a pair of Large for myself. I've heard others complain about the lack of heat in the thumbs. Can you please let me know what they did to resolve it and what procedure you used. I ordered mine online at a BMW dealer. So I guess I'll be dealing with Gerbing directly. Thanks for your help. Hoist! 8)

Hi Hoist, I just called Gerbing and gat a RA  # We just used the gloves and the thumbs are much better. It took 6 weeks to get them fixed but they are much better. Very comfortable gloves.  Billy

Billy, do you know what was actually done to the gloves?  And what might be a before and after comparison of the improvement?  Mine have seemed ok.  But if they can make them better might send them off over the summer.

Hoist, They put more heat in the thumbs. can't tell from the outside but thumbs are very warm now. worth the repair. makes it so you don't have to have the heat on as high and make the fingers sweat when just the thumbs are cold
