    Default Suggest any battery warming gloves thin enough to wear under thick gloves?

    I moved from Kansas to Missouri and bought a house there. So my ride to work is now 25 minutes vs 10. If the temps get below say 30°F, by the time I get to work, my hands are in crap shape.

    So I'm looking for thin battery operated heating gloves to wear under thick gloves. Do you guys use any and could offer any suggestions?

    I have the WarmNSafe 12V bike powered glove liners but I got my daughter the battery powered ones for skiing and she says they work great.

    My Milwaukee Leather gauntlets are adequate when used with the Spyder's grip heaters. They have a scraper to clean your faceshield in foggy weather but the gloves soak up water in rainy weather. Perhaps there's a leather treatment for that but I haven't tried one.

    If the bike doesn't have heated handle bars you can install the skidoo or aftermarket ones. The skidoo are the ones I have which are just on and off on the switch and they are marginal compared to the multiposition skidoo ones.

    I have heated grips, but it really doesn't seem to do much

    You may be better off going for heated gloves rather than liners. The liners add bulk and make bending your fingers around the grips stiff compared to wearing heated gloves.

    So I do not comprehend the glove harness or battery options... What's the difference? I could be a bit dense today.

    Here's a Youtube video "Best of ..." - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rubaz7nreW4

    Revzilla has several videos that might help too! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hr1rGey5uFs

    And this "Guide to Heated Gear" video - https://youtu.be/5twDOomFi3E?si=nk1Xn7L3L_lDgPXR

    Even though my RTL has Heated grips, we still have a Battery powered vest (for my wife) and are looking at the MSR Surge battery powered gloves like these:

    Lot's of info, hope that helps!

    My liners (and mittens) have Lithium batteries which can be re-charged using my computer or a separate Plug-in (to a wall outlet) re-charger ..... most Lithium batteries provide up to 10 Hrs. on low, and that's all I need - even with the severe frost-bite issues .... Mike

    If each glove has it's own self-contained battery carried on the wrist, there is no need for a harness (wires up each arm that would run back to a single power pack usually in a pocket.)

    I bought these Gerbing battery operated gloves.
    I was afraid the battery on each hand might make the glove feel heavy and cumbersome.. nope.. not at all.
    They are very flexible.
    I have heated grips also but don't need to turn them on with these gloves.
    The wires in these gloves wrap ALL the way around the fingers that are curved over the handlebar/throttle.
    Heated grips only warm the bottom-side of the hand - not the wind-exposed top of the fingers - which is better than nothing but not near as nice as "warm all over" gloves.
    They are also wind-proof. Have never been in a soaking rain but in heavy mist - they did not soak through.
    The battery has good life and has not let me down through a 4-hour ride.
    As the ambient temp warms up I have to turn them down.. which will make the battery last longer.
    I chose battery operated gloves over the bike-wired gloves as I didn't want to take the time to plug/un-plug from the bike at stops.
    (however, my Gerbing heated liner is 12V and wired to the bike - so just 1 wire to unplug from - oh its SO nice and warm)
    They were pricey but so worth it to me.
    The link here is for a size small but I think a general internet search will yield other sizes available - or if the Gyde model is not available there are other Gerbing battery operated gloves... as well as a whole host of other brands.

    Several years ago I bought heated glove liners from BajaRon. You might contact him to see what he recommends.

    I have the heated liners .... they are thin and not at all bulky .... and the small lithium batteries are in a zippered pocket in each glove ..... My Glaves and mittens have this feature also .....just to clarify .... Mike
