what's the lowest temps these have been used in? any 14 deg and below rides? may 20 deg with some serious wind chills?

Ridden in the teens with these. They are very wind proof and usually I wear a pair of tights under them and they are warm and toasty. My feet are the problem! Remember to order Very Big. I am 32" waist, 160# & 5'-11"+ and XXL worked for me.

Yes, the temperature probably should be above about 50 degrees. Higher would be better. I installed mine when the outside temperature was about 80. They are real well stuck.

I use the snowmobile ones on my Spyder. The snowmobile ones just get warmer. I use high to warm things up and then switch to low to keep them warm. I ride in temps down in the low 30's with no issues.

Art - Save your money. Harley stopped selling these because it hasn't been proven that they work. If you're bike tends to overheat, get an oil cooler. An oil cooler is proven to reduce hot temps by 30 degrees or more. I just put one on my bike. Easy install even for a novice with decent mecahnical ability. Check out Ebay's deals too. I've gotten most of my Harley parts on Ebay. Hope this helps. Jim - 2006 Road King

I've recently used these gloves in the mid 20s F and I could definitely feels a minor chill. Later had a cold spell of 8 F with wind chill and my hands were freezing in less than 5 minutes. This was in NYC weather. I just bought lightweight primaloft gloves which handles the same 8 F and with less expense.

I bought mine four years ago from Amazon and am using them right now (0 degree temp outside!!!). I think they may put out a little less heat than they once did (though I'm not sure about that), but they're definitely still usable. Seven hours on, they're keeping my hands very cozy.

I bought them for hiking and paragliding in summer. Feel a bit light for colder temperatures, but very tough fabric. Maybe with respective long underwear and depending on circumstances (wind chill, still air, humidity etc.) you could use them in freezing conditions. My 2 cents :-)

I've had them operate well at over 100°F (mounted in shade). Have not had them exposed below 4°F but they did fine there, too.

I mounted the "snowmobile" warmers on my harley and they work just fine. They are supposed to be warmer than the motrocycle ones. I used them in the fog and cold and they work decent. Dont expect blazing heat. On those cold mornings they are nice.

I wear these below freezing without too much trouble. They're cold for the first mile, but fine for the rest of the ride. I'm surprised anyone can stand to wear them in the 60's as I find them unbearably hot above 50 or so. This just goes to show how differently people perceive warmth.

We are in Montana it is now currently 25 degrees below 0 [not wind chill] and it is working fine today and since last September when it was installed. Feb. 6,2014

Seem to work fine in any weather conditions. I've had mine set up for 3 months and our louisiana weather is terrible, no problems here.

I have several of this model mounted outside my house under the eaves for a number of years. They have worked perfectly even in this latest cold snap. Down south here the lowest we have experienced recently was 22 degrees. The eaves protect them from most of the rain. The heat and humidity of summer hasn't had any effect.

I'll give a qualified 'yes.' I've been buying these from another source (Amazon can't meet my quantities) but the same exact item and their specification says 200° F max. A word of caution though: I would not recommend taking the temperature too close to the maximum. I think you'll be fine at 140°F.

I put three of these on the leeward side of low garden tunnels and have had no problems. The times when we have a lot of wind (recently to 35 mph) tend to be when the doors are closed but I think it's important to install them in a location where the wind isn't going to catch the door.

I am using 6 of them and we aim to have them at -20 C when they go on my head and usually leave them for 20 mins (they are between -13 and 0 when I take them off to be returned to the dry ice).

It's been awhile now since I have messed with them. My wife didn't really ride in the cold (since last October) so I haven't moved them. What I do remember is the # of threads showIng that I like and then what she likes. I can't remember the direction, but it's easy to turn the bezel. Start with no threads showing, take ride, then adjust to where more threads are showing (a full turn each time) until you find what you like. For us it's 1 thread showing, and 3 threads showing - depending if it's both of us or just me. If you have bags, just leave them at home while you test ride. I hope you love em. I know it's a lot of $, but I will tell ya - best ride I've had in 35 years of riding Harley's!
