Gloves Heated Gloves (electric, battery)

[gunsmoker]

I'm looking at options for heated gloves.
I'm not ready to tap into my new-to-me bike's wiring system yet,
so what I'm looking for would be a battery powered set of heating gloves that use a rechargeable battery pack, either built-into the glove itself or perhaps a battery pack you'd keep in your pocket with a short set of electrical wires running inside your coat sleeves to plug into those gloves.

Any ideas?
I can't find any RECENT (last few years) threads on this topic, and I know that the various products on the market and their prices
and the sellers' levels of customer service will vary over the years.

Here's a set of MITTENS that I was looking at. They seem like a good value for the buck, though they may only last for a few hours per battery charge.
(That would probably be enough for me.)

Have any of you purchased heated, battery powered gloves or mittens recently? How do you like them?

I always wire 12v, never considered anything else but that's my needs. Do you ride no more than a few hours and end up back at the house?

There is no need to tap into the wiring with a 12v clothing system. The power connection for the clothing typically has ring terminals that connect directly to the battery and it is fused in the correct place.

I just ordered Gerbing jacket a d gloves to replace HotWired setup. The HW were the right price when I bought them but lacking in heat control. The glove connection for the left glove has failed in the jacket after 3-4yrs of use.
12v for me. I dont want to get caught without heat when needed on my daily commute.

I wouldn't touch those gloves with a 10 ft pole for motorcycling. They'd be great for skiing though.

When I'm riding at this time of year, the roads are often wet. There's still slick leaves on the road. The rain makes all those white painted lines and cross-walks slick as snot. Likewise the metal manhole covers. They've also started putting fine sand on the roads, which is a huge hazard if you find yourself crossing from one tire track to the other on a turn. In other words, this is the most dangerous time of the year to be riding. You have the most opportunity to fall...and you'll put your hands out in front of you as you're sliding.

This is not the time to skip safety. Be comfortable, yes. But look at that outer material. Those gloves would last a fraction of a second in a slide.

There's options though that'll do what you want. As @dduelin wrote, the connection is easy. Even I can do it. You're not splicing into any wires, just making a connection at the battery terminals.

I have two sets of Gerbing T5 gloves from years back. They still work great. You'll find some of them offer both a battery connection and a hard-wired connection. The Warm & Safe store is a good place to start. https://www.warmnsafe.com/collections/heated-gloves-socks Look for gloves that say they are designed for motorcycle use. There's a huge difference between taking a spill in a snowbank, than asphalt.

Mittens on a motorcycle. Really?
Get proper gloves such as Warm & Safe.

 

[Daboo]

Mittens actually work really great. I have one with a nice leather exterior and cozy liner. Having the fingers all touching each other makes them warmer than gloves.

But darn if I can find the other mitten!

Yep. lots warmer than gloves. I use mittens all the time unless I actually have to use my hands to do things.

That's too bad, Lefty.

How about some of those self heating chemical packets that hunters (and others) use? Use once and throw it away. Try a couple in your usual riding gloves. Your profile says you are in Georgia. I thought @Sadlsor has told us that it never gets cold in Georgia.

Darn kitten has lost his mitten.

I believe I said it rarely SNOWS, but I'm talking about Alabama.
Georgia has higher mountains than we do, so they can have snow when we don't.
But yes it gets plenty cold, to me. I rode to work Friday when it was 29 outside. Below freezing is COLD.

22* here in NW Georgia yesterday AM, with some pretty high winds...felt like low teens.

 

[canada_67]

I've had these these for a few years now - use batter packs held in pockets on the 'cuff' of each glove or can be can be wired to bike at a later date if you feel adventurous!

https://www.gerbing.com/collections...ated-motorcycle-gloves?variant=44879375073571

The battery packs are sold separately.

Not cheap but have never leaked and come with lifetime warranty on the heating elements.

1-- I may be "in Georgia" when I start my rides, but I may not stay in Georgia during the ride! In the last two years I visited nine other states on 2 wheels.

2-- The other morning I decided to test my bike's cold starting ability and how the wind feels on the new-to-me bike with its differently shaped windshield and fairings. So I went out on a morning when it was 24°.
I rode for an hour (it was only 27 when I got through.)

Ive been using a pair of heated liners I bought about 6 years ago. By using liners, i can use any glove as an outer layer (it helps to go a size up).

One of the good things about these liners is they can run off the battery packs OR directly off 12V. Great for your situation where you want wait before you hard wire them.

They are based in Calgary, I beleive

That being said, I've almost exclusively used them hard-wired. Its usually more convienent to just plug them into my heated jacket liner than to remember to charge the batteries. I have used them while skiing, however.
