Who has heated equipment?

[Quick281]

Who here has experience with heated grips/gloves?

I have heard many good things about heated grips and now I am looking into some heated liners for my gloves/jacket in order to deal with the cold on my long trip up north.

Will I be able to power all of this on my bike or am I going to run into electrical issues if I pull too much power?

talk to Thridgenxli...he has all the cold weather riding gear

Heated grips were a godsend for me. I don't know I how I rode without them.

Did they only heat up the inner parts of your palm or were the outside of your fingers warm too? Meaning the parts that would be facing the cold ass wind.

Being in FL I have no need for the heated equipment, but something I use when its cold out that may be helpful are the little heatpads you can find. Hunters use them in cold weather, you can get ones for hands and feet, Ive actually tucked them into my gloves, boots and jacket and stayed comfortable on super chilly days.

they only heat the palm... but the heat is enough to radiate through your fingers... or at least the ones I used on my friends snow machine were (motorcycle ones he installed on the snowmachine)

if your riding in really severe cold weather or lots of rain... check out these...

the only thing about those is try'n to adjust them at speed.... when your hunting and they get too hot (and they get REALLY HOT) you can just switch hands... or set it down... if you've got one in your glove... or boot... you'd be stopp'n every 5 miles to switch it...

If you set them just right you dont have to adjust, but you cant put them directly on the skin, I wrapped mine in a thick paper towel, like a lil pocket, on my palm and they worked great!
