• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Heated Grips - Warm Enough?

I am in total agreement with Blacklightning. F3 Ltd heated grips are better than no heat, but are not near as warm as the settings on my former RT.
 
along, but not exactly the same......I have a question for all on this subject, but it's not completely riding related. :shocked:
My hands (fingers) get cold when just walking the dog around our yard on a cold day, or just doing misc. outside work when it's in the 30-50 degree range outside. :yikes:
I want fingered, battery powered, gloves that I can do work with and keep whole hand feeling warm. On the web I find "too many to count" and "very scary" prices, with no real feedback on performance or issues. :banghead:
Anyone use heated "fingered" gloves for working outside in cold conditions ? :dontknow:
Appreciate any recommendations. :popcorn:

I have the same issue ( maybe worse - frostbite ) .... I bought some WORK gloves from FNDN .... I really like them, they run small so I think you should get XXL , check their sizing chart, but imho a little bit over-size is best ..... they re-charge using your computer..... they also sell spare batteries at a decent price compared to others I have seen ..... the WORK gloves are heavy duty .... cost $99.00 delivered ..... good luck ....

I recently came across these...they have both a 3-AAA battery and a rechargeable variant. I don't have personal experience with them yet.

RapRider, this looks worthy of considration, the price is right, rainproof, all that good stuff. The only down side for rechargeable, battery goes south and unable to replace. Thanks for the post.

Unless it uses a rechargeable AAA ? They're cheap enough to replace. Wonder if you can use both options, as it doesn't really say. I also like the fact that these don't appear to have a long cuff. I sent a inquiry. I'll post up when I get a reply..

Just heard back. The battery operated gloves use standard AAA batteries. The rechargeable gloves come with a 2200 mah lithium battery.
 
Thanks, Rap - but finding gloves is hard for me. I have teeny-tiny hands - and if I can't get XS, I have to go with youth sized. Not really easy to find. And we all know that if your gloves don't fit properly on a ryde, could be a safety issue.
I have Klim snow pants and a Klim Carlsbad motorcycle jacket, good stuff but not cheap, in any event I left you with two different gloves at two different price levels.

Here's the link to Klim's webpage that has the thorough description of the product, please note that I'm a fan of Klim and Gore-Tex as both companies provide stuff that just flat out works.
