    Default Heated Grips or Heated Gloves

    To the people on the board that ride, do you have any experience with heated grips or gloves? I'm thinking of buying a set of one or the other and I'm curious about brands, etc.

    Heated gloves.

    Any glove that's heavy enough to protect your hand is not gonna let any heat through.

    Heavy thinsulate gloves + internal heaters if ya gottem.

    Dude, I have two pairs of "Thinsulate" gloves right now that are worse than useless. They're neither windproof or waterproof and they suck. I'm done with Thinsulate. But the heated gloves seem to start at like 200 bucks for a remotely decent pair versus around 80 bucks for a set of grip heaters.

    I ended up getting a really sweet pair of regular gloves. Wind/water proof knuckle sheilds, the works. Only set me back about sixty bucks.
