Battery Heated Motor Cycle Gloves

I don't actually see a question here. But yes, that's what they claim they are. However the gloves offer nearly NO insulation, if you grab cold metal with them on it will cut straight through the glove. I got some 3M motorcycle gloves with "thinsulate" that offered significantly better insulation for about 30 bucks. They're out of stock on Amazon, or I'd link them.

I first saw these gloves on the hands of a fellow passenger during a Bering Sea cruise I took last year. They provide excellent insulation from the wet and the cold. Since they are thick, there is not going to be fine dexterity or sensitivity with them, but you will be comfortable holding a pole in the cold.

The gloves do breathe, but overall your hands will be warmer - if your palms get hot already, I imagine wearing gloves would only make it worse, unless for some reason the heat is coming from the steering wheel, in which case they might provide some minimal insulation.

yes, but you need an adapter. battery tender has sae connection & Wire from heated glove liners have DC Coax connection

They are made of a thin neoprene composite. They are meant as warm weather gloves. Standing in street they would help but not as riding gloves

Closest thing I've done is using a snowblower, gloves didn't lose flexibility, kept my hands dry but I was only out in -10 degree for about 30 to 45 mins. Hand still got cold but if you worked in cold weather you know that happens.

I disagree with the previous answer: they are not very warm... they are somewhat warm. They dexterity is there but the intense grip of the rubber would make diminutive tasks difficult. I will be adding thin cotton glove liners to mine this year to provide a boost to insulation. Since I ride a bike with them, I don't have to worry about the added loss in dexterity. Theses gloves are not effective below 30F degrees.

My gloves are fine. I have been using them for over a month now and I have had no problems. I really like them.

I don't know exactly how low they will tolerate but I've had mine out in minus -20 degree temps without any problem, its best to use the external 6 volt lead acid battery in its weatherproof enclosure, I also cover the battery case with a plastic bag, this is what I do, I live in upstate central NY , Good Luck and if I can be any more help, just ask Sincerely Mary

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I wonder if they've changed the way the make the gloves. That would be disappointing.

Quite well. They warm up very quickly and create heat all over my hands. The best part is that there are no wires throughout the glove liners. They are thin liners. You may have to order a larger pair of gloves to accommodate the additional layer though. You could try them with your current gloves and see how they fit before having to order new larger gloves. I am able to use my current gloves, although they are a bit tight but workable. Wish I have purchased these years ago.

They run hot around 110 degrees and the battery has to new if the voltage of the battery cant go below 8volts

These gloves are connected to my motorcycle battery through the use of a cable that I purchased seperate. Not sure of any other way they can be powered.Firstgear Dual Portable Heat-Troller - Black I copied/pasted the link so you can see what I purchased to power the gloves seperately from jacket liner. I bought a dual controller so I could turn gloves down when hands got hot and could keep jacket on a higher setting. Looking at photo on link, to the right, you will see the circle connectors that connect to battery. Hope this helps.

I have Gerbing's gloves and it works fine. As long as the connector plugs intothe inlet, they should work fine. Battery life is good

I live in a very cold place, this type (lipo) of battery heats up when in use, but leave out in cold without using will probably ruin them.

I've never used one but I bought mine for rowing my dinghy. They are really nice gloves, I'm really happy with them.

Yes! As a former airplane owner that did his own maintenance, IMHO these gloves are just right for the mechanical aspect of any airplane. Working on the electronics might require surgical type exam gloves. By mechanical aspect I mean engine, prop, wheel/tire, brakes, control surfaces, etc.. I also found that they were fantastic for riding offroad motorcycles and ATVs. ..................Green Mohave Cholla
