Does anyone have warm hands??
 
Now that the nasty white stuff has melted I've started using the bike a bit more but it's starting to turn into the 'winter of discontent' because my hands (moreso my fingers) are bloody freezing by the time I get to work......so advice please.....what's the best thing to keep my hands/fingers toasty???

Hot Grips
Winter Gloves
Inner Gloves
Heated Gloves
Wind Deflector Grip Cover Thingys

I know 'The Org' seems to love polls but I don't know how to set one up so I'll just ask for your opinions :D

I vote for a poll :)
The general concensos is heated gloves seem to do the best job, but heated grips would probably suffice.
I have this problem, but i have heated grips on my sprint so not an issue, but on my drz i dont and i get cold, but i am to blame a bit cos i wear leather summer supamoto gloves all year round with the added bonus of inner gloves when its really cold.

I have heated grips and they work fine for me.
Only problem is the back of your hands do get cold.

My preference is heated grips but then I've never used heated gloves or the wind deflector things

car windows shut and heater on full blast....

but seriously, I used to travel 50 miles each way for work and found heated gloves very good - not perfect - I often thought of fitting handlebar muffs as well but never got round to it.

The very ends of the tips of my fingers get cold sometimes, but a quick move around sorts that out.

On my Versys I've got heated grips and big BMW GS handguards with Touratech extensions. In winter I wear waterproof summer gloves and my hands don't get cold or wet

muffs.. not saying they are a better or worse than other options above but was a cheap to buy and easy to put on and take off.

Greatly reduced the wind chill on dual carriage way riding with additional security measure of making my bike look less appealing. Still had slightly cold hands but not freezing fingertips.

Winter gloves, enduro handguards and hot grips. They work alright, if I wanted better then I'd extend the handguards and get heated gloves.

Nice one!!


I've just seen some heated inner gloves on fleabay for around 50 quid but can't tell if the fingers are heated or if it's just the palms?? ....and has anyone heard anything about 'Gerbing', they're are doing some for around the 100 mark!?!?
