Recommendations on heated gloves?

[Maverick9999]

Hi there,

I'm making a lot more journeys on the motorway now and am well aware of the cold wind freezing my fingers off. Was thinking of investing in a pair of heated gloves, rather than heated grips (so they can come with me if I sell the bike). These caught my eye especially as they're goretex too...

Was wondering what people have tried and what makes they recommend. Ideal want a light battery operated one but dont mind plumbing something onto the bike if it needs to be powered off the bike's battery...

I have a pair of biketek gloves, they work. my hands are like toast.

They are however bulky. the heat control is in a clear plastic wallet on the back of the glove but is connected permanently to the harness so when you take the gloves off the is a matchbox size lump of plastic hitting your hand as you walk. and although it has never failed, I wonder what the lifetime of the plastic wallet is.
