Furygan Vent Heated Gloves

[Tribal Chestnut]

I purchased a pair of the above a few weeks ago and have used them twice now.

Initial thoughts:

Wrist mounted battery is very bulky, but the long cuffs make wearing over your sleeve easy.
The battery pocket is only sealed by a Velcro closure, therefore if it rains you'll want the sleeves to be tucked in under your cuff, which is pretty awkward.
Strange dangly straps in each glove, which can either be a little annoying inside the glove and fussy to tuck away, or left to flap about in the wind and irritate the fk out of you.
Seem well made.
Nice and snug, albeit a little bulkier than I'd hoped.

After use:
First time I used them it was -2, my fingers were fking cold when I arrived at my destination.
Second time it was 3/4 deg. C, still had cold fingers.
The batteries are supposed to be good for two hours or so on full, yet one of them was drained after an hour.

I'm returning them to Sportsbikeshop, hopefully to be replaced for a pair that work properly, but if mine are as good as it gets, then I've been robbed.

I shall report back here in due course.

why not just use heated grips instead? none of the faff, just turn them on when you need them.

Laziness. I'd have to fix them on one bike and fit them to two/three other bikes.

I finally got around to sending them back to Sportsbikeshop and they promptly sorted out a refund with no quibbling.

I've been impressed with their customer service in the past, but even more so now.
