Hi,

I'm finally thinking of heated grips, must be my age but even with winter gloves I start to suffer once it's colder than a few of degrees below. However, reading some reviews makes me wonder whether their really effective at proper low temperatures, most of the references seem to be about use at cool rather than cold temperatures (one review talked about 9 deg C for example). This made me start to wonder if they're really aimed at wearing thinner gloves rather than dealing with proper cold. Maybe they don't even work with thick gloves?

Anyone have any experience with them at real sub zero temperatures?

Following on, it looks like Oxford seem to be popular, but also would be interested in alternative views. I'm not sure I the point in lots of different heat settings, surely they can just be switched on or off as required. Are there any alternatives which have decent quality parts and connectors, but just a simple on/off switch?

Any comments welcome,

Tony S
