What gloves should I use with heated hand grips?
I own a '04 CBR600F4i with heated hand grips and I want to know if there are heated grip specialized gloves?
What I am envisioning are gloves that are insulated, waterproof, with armor on the back. But the bottom or palm, is thinner so the heat can transmit to my hand and I can still have good feel of the controls. Any ideas or suggestions? I am stationed in Germany and I would like to be able to ride in 40F weather. Thanks! These are the only ones I've seen say anything about effectiveness with heated grips - FIRSTGEAR 2009 TPG Glacier Motorcycle Gloves http://www.cyclegear.com/spgm.cfm?L1...=TUC_51-3702_G |
I just wear my reg gauntlet gloves n maybe a pair of UA coldgear glove liners when its really cold.

Thanks! http://www.ridersdiscount.com/street...-men/31836.php I have been more than pleased with them in temps down to about 0°C (32°F) even without the heat turned on. (Symtec heated elements) They appear to be out of stock right now unfortunately, so I will post up another link to some awesome gloves I just got from: Beachmoto (LOL seems kinda strange getting cool waterproof gloves from a place called BeachMoto in San Diego Cal., but I found them through the ADVrider.com site, which in turn I found from the CBRforum site:)) http://www.beachmoto.com/revit/gloves/gt-h2o.php These are more "racetrack" type oriented, with little to no insulation, but waterproof membrane and lined. Fully armored and padded leather gauntlets that have more of a normal non-cold weather glove feel to them, less ski-mitt type, if you know what I mean. Note: they fit small! I got Medium and they feel like a Small size. You may want to go up one size from usual. HTH |
Depending on what heated grips you have you can use any glove. I have the Simtec grips and they get so hot they work thru the tickest gloves. I wear my TourMaster Winter Elite Gloves and they get really hot on the Hi setting. I usually have to turn it down to Low after about 5 mins on the bike.

The grips were installed by the previous owner so I am not sure the brand. They have a high/low toggle switch and he has them wired so they only draw power when the ignition is turned on (just in case I forget to turn them off). The few rides I have been on they do get super hot, but all I have a JR summer gloves and there just isn't enough wind protection.
Thanks for all the suggestions so far. Keep them coming because I probably won't decide on a pair until Feb11th when cyclegear.com has there huge sale. These are the gloves I am leaning towards A* Apex Dystar ... http://www.cyclegear.com/spgm.cfm?L1...AR_3310-0208_G or FIRSTGEAR 2009 TPG Glacier Motorcycle Gloves http://www.cyclegear.com/spgm.cfm?L1...=TUC_51-3702_G |
Not aware of any special gloves for that. Heated grips can really be nice in a cold climate. I borrowed a buddy's bike that had heated grips. When my hands got a little too warm, I'm just turn 'em off...then back on when they'd get cool. Seemed to work ok this way.
