Heated Grips V’s Heated Inner Gloves?

I’ve got the New Bobber Black on order and still have some time to add to the spec list of needs be.

I’ve never had heated grips before and because I only ever tend to ride when the weather is lovely, (twice per year then ) I’ve never really thought of them as necessary.

Today I went for a couple of hours ride, (early for me) in some summer gloves and when I stopped for fuel I realised my hands were seriously fooking cold.

So to avoid a repeat experience figured either heated grips or heated inner gloves would be worth the investment...or possibly both!

What’s people’s experience of both of the options. Keeping in mind I never ride in the winter months... are they really worth having?

Cheers,

Mike.

 

Oven gloves

I bet they work great but I reckon I’ll get beaten up if cought sporting them on a new Bobber

To be fair I don’t ever intend to use it during the winter. It’s just for summer day ride outs so I don’t need to rely on it for commuting in all weathers etc.

But I wondered if adding heated grips to the spec of the bike on order is worth it for the fair weather day riding I have planned. Maybe it would just be nice for those chilly evening ride home moments?

 

That was my suspicion... that the fingers would still be freezing whilst the palms would be sweating! Think I’ll look into heated gloves instead... surely some clever bugger has worked the heating eliments into the fingers area?!

 

It was an impromptu ride out and I borrowed a friends bike and gear. Having said that my own gloves are much better but the experience just got me thinking.... should I add heated grips to the new bike?!

 

So..... you’re telling me to have a cheeky shot prior to setting off?! Well if that’s what it takes

 

Yeah just finished watching a review of the Oxford one’s.

Can anyone confirm them to be better than the Triumph efforts?

 

Legend!

 

Hey please don’t take my comments to heart about your mitt warmers. If I rode in the winter I’d do exactly the same... but I don’t so it would be a massive overkill for my needs. Horses for courses!

My post is simply to gauge how good heated grips are and if people think it worth adding them given my specified requirements.

 

If you had read more than my first post you would understand how I come to be wearing summer gloves in Feb... it wasn’t a,”choice”...

 

Totally get what you’re saying but like I’ve explained I have cars and bikes that come out in the summer months only. I have daily drivers/riders for the mundane commute. On the weekend toys there really isn’t a need for the great British Bake Off look

 

Funnily enough I tried a pair of those style gloves on last week and thought how having your fingers together is bound to result in warmer digits!

 

Great info cheers
