I get cold hands even with winter gloves I lose the feeling in my finger tips in around 15 mins.

As I only ride for fun I doubt I'll use them that much so I'm struggling to justify the Gerbing XR £170 or their heated liner at £99

The Keis liner is £70

I was wondering if anyone had tried the cheap heated glove liners ?

I'm aware that Gerbing & Keis give a lifetime warranty - but only on the element, is there anything else to consider ?

Ride magazine recently did a review of heated waistcoats pitching Kei versus a cheap alternative. The synopsis was that the cheap one didn't spread the heating elements out well so you just get very hot in one place rather than toasty warm all over. They said it was no contest to spend the extra cash. Can only assume it may be the same with gloves.

Here you go:

Thanks, so it seems there is more to them.

Just found some reviews for Warmawear on Amazon - the vast majority say they're crap

Looks like I'll have to raid my piggy bank
