yep i agree with bibio - heated gloves are the way to go.

Forget heated grips - they are pants. Your palms will be warm but the backs of your hands where u get the wind chill will be freezing.

Quality heated gloves apply the heat right where you need it and right to the ends of your fingers. I've got the ex02 gloves from the link above and love them, but i think northwind got a pair and found them so uncomfortable he sent them back. If you don't like the exo2 gloves there are plenty of other makes such as Gerbing etc.

They might seem expensive, but will probably be less than a set of heated grips and winter gloves, and they WILL keep your hands warm.

When I'm riding again im going for the inner gloves bibio linked (ta) but a tad worried about so called hot spots...

My thoughts, based on the experience of last weekend's rideout, though gales, sleet and constant rain like riding into a fire hose, are:

I tried two pairs of gloves, latex gloves underneath, I even bought a couple of those wee heat-pads from the outdoor shop in Fort William, and they were great (for about 30mins....).

Get a pair of decent, WATERPROOF - gloves - I bought a pair of those mad looking HG Pathans, the lobster man gloves on Saturday, and they were great until they got soaked and the wind-chill just battered my hands. They didn't leak, but the waterproof shell-tex is a liner, so the outside got soaked. That said, they were really warm on the run up when they were dry.

I'm seriously looking at a combo of:

Pathan gloves (or equivalent)
Hand Guards to block the worst of the wind-chill
Headed Grips

That, in my opinion, is the only solution to freezing hands.

Heated gloves. End of.

Heated grips (NOT OXFORD) for your palms, handlebar muffs to keep the windblast off the tops of your hands (else read new leaf's post...), summer gloves to keep up the blood flow (i find winter gloves make my hands cold because with my finst clentched, the blood flow is restricted a bit)

Happy winter riding

...you're gripping too hard.

MR Alipne mann, Did you have muffs on a 650 'S'? I've only ever seen them on naked bikes.

easy on / off able?

I've tried heated grips on two bikes but find them pretty useless, roasting palms and freezing fingers!! HG Pathan (lobster) gloves cured the problem. Nice n toasty this icy morning.

I have HG Pathans and some HG inners.....on my 22mile trip to work today I was toasty the whole way.....this included nearly the whole journey being on the mway. They do take some getting used too, but I find the controls still as easy to use.

Have you got the 5 finger version or the lobster ones?
