Cold Hands

[raddragn]

I'm looking for heated gloves and wonder what solutions some of you have come up with besides the ones that are powered thru your bike's battery. I have a pair of mittens with the gel packs attached. You throw them in the microwave for a minute or two and they get warm enough to keep your hands warm for +/- 45 min. Besides the fact that they are wearing out (after 10 years), they are only good if my destination has a microwave to reheat them for my return ride. I've seen some that use regular D-cell batteries - and one that uses power paks that looks like just the thing, but is so expensive the price tag will take your breath away - not to mention, require you to sell your first born to afford them.
Have any of you come up with unique solutions (besides to stay home :} )?

A Company called KLAN are doing heated (via the bikes electrics) inner gloves, BUSTERS are selling for about ?59. More expensive than Heated grips, but may be worth looking at? :dunno:

Hey I have an idea, dump the bike all together! After all even in good warm weather it's unpractical, you don't have a boot in which you can put stuff, tank range is shite compared to cage, you need to wear silly clothes, it's more dangerous, less stable, you can't have a fag or a sandwitch while riding... Or another even better idea, keep the bike so you have street cred, after all it looks cool when you say you're a 'biker', but then never use it, and when you go on holiday simply trail it! You're sorted, all the advantages of owning a bike without any of the knacks w;;v

Just got around to reading the Jan. issue of "Motorcyclist" mag and guess what was features in their "Gear" section - Aerostitch Warm Wrap Grips. They do hook to the bike battery, but they only wrap around, not replace, the stock grips - and at least "I" am not wired to the bike - a mild phobia of mine. They're also quick detach and fasten with a hook and loop type fastener. The price won't induce a coronary either - $45. Anyone here had experience with them?

OMIG! How could you suggest such heresy? :}

[Jaws]

There are a few makers of those here Terry..
Oxford are proly the most common available and I do believe Wolfie uses them He rates them quite highly so praise indeed !

 

[frenchuk]

got Honda heated grips myself, toasty they are, and use WindStopper inner gloves, still riding with my macho gloves all the gay guys on this site are jealous about and my little mits are fine and dandy!

 

[Wolfie]

Yep , i have got the oxford ones, they get very hot and i have to turn them off every now and then.

I also used some cable ties around the grips , because i found they slide when using the throttle in anger.

Cold hands?

Well, Steve went for a ride to Belgium today and said it was a tad chilly, even saw some snow, but he has some Klan heated inner gloves and a pair of Frank Thomas mutant gloves, said his hands were toasty warm the rest of him was a tad on the cold side but his hands were ok :bow:

Still, its not all bad, at least I warmed him up when he got home :blush:

 

[Grampi]

I sold my first born but my hands are still cold. 8ree!

Should I sell the second born too? And her lad, my Grandson? c7u8

Wrapping my freezing mitts around the exhaust headers helps after I've switched the engine on! %$fan

Loada poofs.
Whatever happened to readybrek?

Alternatively have a vigorous wank with both your hands, that should warm them up

Trouble is Pierre, that some of them on here will have to do it one hand at a time... Then the other one will go cold again.... 8ree!

Having said that... They have to find it first of they are really cold.....:f

Go for heated grips or Hein gerikes two finger winter gloves...Lovely toasty hands all the time...:-:

Cheers,
