Default Getting colder - thinking about heated grips..

So it's getting colder but I still wanna ride to work and back and what not. My hands are getting cold with single digit weather, so I'm thinking about heated grips. I've done a minimal amount of research and it seems like the Hot Grips might be the best option. Do any of you have them and if so what are your impressions? Also, if you have another brand/model, what can you say about those?

Click for link to Hot Grips website:


Thanks!

I can't comment on that specificaly, but why not look into getting some cold weather gloves, or have some glove liners for your regular riding gloves? options abound.

Heated grips sound great to me though too, some people I know have them

I have KTM heated grips. You can use them with your existing or any reg grip. Heres a link on the install.
