Now that I'm old thinking about getting heated gloves?

[fj1289]

Thanks Noel the hard wired would work. I could put the wires on the everything. I just couldn't afford the heated grips on everything. Now any recommendations for hard wired gloves/gear.

Thanks everyone for battery powered suggestions.

If you get the dual heat-troller you can control the jacket liner and glove temps separately.  If you opt for the pants liner I "think" they use the same setting as the jacket liner.

Looks like they also have a remote heat-troller now - guess you mount it whoever you want and it is Bluetoothed to the unit on the wire harness vice trying to snake wires to your tank bag or somewhere.

I have a pig tail off my battery I use for my Battery Tender.
I use the same pig tail (via adaptor plug) for my electric vest.
I agree with Noel about preferring 12v wired heated gear for motorcycles.

I had a pair of Tour Master Synergy heated gloves, unfortunately one glove stopped working so I can't recommend them. Tour Master no longer makes them so beware on buying new old stock.

Here's a current review on the top 5 heated mororcycle gloves.
I like their top pick, the Volt 12v glove, however, it's a leather glove. I think for snowmobiling you want something water proof.

I now have a Gerbing heated vest which I enjoy and shows to be a very high quality product.
Here is a pair of their heated gloves which are (claimed) waterproof and dual source, both 12v and battery.

 I have not read the entire post but will throw my one cent in. I have heated grips on two bikes. My blackbird and my XRL dualsport. I have rode the dualsport in very cold weather and when its cold enough with the grips on full burn the outside of my fingers and hand turn to ice while the inside of my hand is melting so heated grips are only good to certain point. Now the blackbird mainly flys around on those great warm sunny days and its nice to have heated grips just in case but what I can say if you get on the bike and start right away with a little blast of heat from the grips it helps not getting arm pump and feels good on the hands and wrist which makes for a better ride. Especially power wheelies (yes I am not that old yet like some you)          gloves and heated grips, I need to get a pair.

I have had a Milwaukee M12 power screwdriver for a few years. I have come across this heated jacket, powered by the same M12 batteries.

Yeah, they're great Fred, all the power tool companies make them. Running off batteries that size and having an endless supply of fully charged ones at hand on a job site makes them a workplace must in the cold. It doesn't really get cold enough here to need them but what a great idea anyway, some even have supercharged pockets for quick bare hand warm ups if the job requires you to work without gloves, sort of like a toaster slot for hands!

After going through Widder and Gerbing gloves over the years, I found Phenix Flaming Hot Heated Motorcycle Gear.  Ken does great work, makes your gloves to order how you want them.  Great heat, and, so far, great reliability.4

FJ Flyer,

Too many videos to watch them all.  No prices?

Are there no heating elements for the fingers, only for the backs of the hands?
I do not want a "set in stone" firm retail price, but approximately how much do these gloves cost?

Price depends on what you want.  I got the Olympias.  They were not cheap. But Ken stands by his prodcucts.  After Gerbing was sold, they don't do crap for honoring their warranty.  I've had to repair the both plugs on my Gerbing jacket liner. After killing the Widder and the Gerbing gloves, I bit the bullit, as I ride year round down into single digits.  Yes, wired in the fingers and the hand.

I also have the factory heated grips on my FJR.  But when it gets below about 30 deg, the grips can't keep up, and I use the gloves.
