which gloves with heated hand grips

Post by dilligaf »

OK i'm out of the closet and got heated hand grips
I have vented gloves for most of the year and things like boxing gloves for winter
that I want to ditch.

I'm in vic where it gets coldish at times

G'day - you'll still need a good pair of winter gloves to keep the fingers warm - heated grips still won't warm the back of the fingers if they are out in the airstream ie naked bikes. ;)

Hi mate,
I also have Oxford Heated Grips on my Z1000! :D
I wear my A* leather summer gloves with them & rarely have my hands got cold.
The heat from the grips radiate through your entire hand & fingers...

My warmers will cook my fingers in winter gloves - if I turn them on high I need to lift my fingers off them every few minutes, so as long as the gloves cover my wrists I stay plenty warm.
