Heated glove liners

[robstvr]

I still can't feel my fingers from last night, I'm typing this with my nose.

Anyone here know of good heated glove liners? Preferably good skinny ones?


S..s..so cold..

Stop being so gay Rob

there was a thing on here about Muffs recently wasn't there?

You can get heated liners for gloves, but I haven't tried them out and don't know of any that have.

Bar muffs look incredibly crap......but I've fitted them anyway as I really don't get on with winter gloves at all.

I've only heard praise regarding Heated grips, however they might look out of place on a sports bike.

Gerbings clothing mate,

heated grips are the best

Heated jacket liner, keep the core temperature up and the body won't pull blood from your extremeties (fingers / toes )

Gerbing gloves are brilliant, i have just got some and they are superb. Better than grips as they warm the front of the fingers and MUCH better than muffs which look terrible and i actually felt they were dangerous..

Coat, thick socks, scarf, massive pants and don't be such a girl

[Rick448]

Probably not being a girl if you are commuting a fair distance and actually want to feel your fingers to use your controls, obviously the real hard people out there travel in T shirts and shorts and the use of helmets and leathers is also girly...

heated grips rule. that & wearing a hell of a lot more than you expect to need.

[robstvr]

Yup, I've got a 40 mile each way commute, which I do regardless of temperature, as at night you still need to get home and it is colder.

I wear shirt, sweater, gilet, fleece, lined rukka winter textile. Wore silk, neoprene layer and outer glovethe other day, and still nada feeling in fingers after 25 minutes on the M3 doing about 80. Grim. Don't want to risk permanent damage to my nerves, or anything else.

I'll look into Gerbing stuff, as grips won't do it, i reckon.

Cheers.

PS, i do look at boys, but not that way, only on the TV, playing football.

You really won't believe the difference a set of bar muffs will make. Although they look shit you completely remove all wind chill from your hands so your hands stay at the same temperature all the time. Combine that with some heated grips and you're laughing.

I have heated grips, and to be honest when the temperature's below zero they have little effect.
I think bar muffs are the only solution. Heated gloves are probably a good idea as well but they're very expensive and you have to have wires going up your sleeve.

[robstvr]

emuff's emuff. They look sooooo pants. Mind you, so does frostbite.

I think £120 is a small price to pay for warm hands, and in fact they are good gloves in their own right. I have a pair of muffs that someone can have if they want, I absolutely hated the things.. but each to their own I guess.

I woulden't mind pair of muffs to try.
I'll paypal you something for them of course...let me know.

[Rick448]

I'll see how much postage is and you can have them for the cost of that. I'll be happy to have the horrible things out of my shed.. unforunately due to the gargantuan proportions of the said Muffs, it may be cheaper to go to your local shop and buy some. I paid £20 for mine new from Heine Gericke Oxford ones) If you mail me your details I will try to sort out something.

Too right. A couple of weeks back I went down to Heathrow on the ST in just a leopard print thong, tartan slippers and an arm belt. Of course I borrowed some +50 contact lenses for eye protection, I'm not a total masochist...
