Did morning commute at 29 degrees F

gerbings jacket liner and g3 gloves have worked wonderfully for the past 3 yrs or so i have had them. i had to get the gloves fixed a few times, but they are decent down to about 15 degrees if i have glove liners on too.

i highly recommend getting the heated gear if you want to ride during the winter. i used to ride with many layers on and big thick gloves. one day when i left work it was 15 degrees. when i got to my destination it was 5 degrees (yes farenheight) 3 hrs later when my feet thawed out i decided that i would get the heated ger the next day. i did and it was the best thing i have bought aside from the bike itself.

to help in winter i added a small windsheild and big ugly handguards to the monster. i also have big insulated handlebar covers (brand name is polar hands i think) that are great as well. they also keep the sold air fronm going up your sleeve if you have gorilla arms and a normal length sleeve like me.

and for bragging rights. around 200 miles out to state college in Feb. daytime temps on the way out were around 40 when i left here and closer to 20 when i got there. going home it was snowing.

Gerbing is the shit! 

12F @ 70 mph, wc = -35F

Toasty Warm w/ jacket & pant liners, glove liners.

 

Ive done that. My body is more than warm, but I wouldnt say im toasty warm in the hands though. the gloves are just barely working at that temp.

I just can't pull the trigger on heated gear.    I commuted last winter with temps consistantly in the low 20's F with my leather jacket, fleece pullover, Astar baclava, snowmobile gloves, and jeans/kaki's.  It was cold as shit, but manageable.  I seem to be pretty tolerant of the cold and don't want to lose it.  I also am too cheap to fork out the cash.  This might sound wierd, but I would rather ride in the cold of winter, then the heat of summer.  I can't stand sweating in my helmet and jacket.

I have been riding with my new gerbing gloves and I have to say they are amazing! Yeah it is big $$$ for gloves given you need a controller but totally worth it. Once I get my liner I will be able to easily ride into the low 30s and not feel like Randy from the christmas story. Being comfortable and warm in the winter is worth the money at least to me.

Are you wearing a Gerbing heated glove or a liner with another glove?

I am wearing the glove liner under an Alpinestar WR-V, and my hands are usually the warmest part - often too hot.

Had a chilly ride yesterday (low 40s Fahrenheit, so nothing to brag about), but on the fast section swapped bikes with my friend, my ST2 for his 2008 Kawi Concours 1400. Very first time I've ever used heated grips, and I'm now seriously in lust - with the whole bike, but particularly with the grips, and the power windscreen was very nice in the cold.

It doesn't help a bit that all through high school me & my mountaineering buddies somehow thought girls would be impressed with frostbite stories (they weren't) and that one of us had read somewhere that Yvon Choinard "preferred to climb without gloves." Teenage idiots, the lot of us, and my fingers go white now anytime the temperature gets toward 40. Heated grips or gloves just went to the top of my list for accessorizing the ST.
