Cold

[VisceralReaction]

I have to say thank god for heated gloves, I have gerbings gloves, jacket liner and socks.
It's been in the low 30's every morning for the past couple weeks and every day I thank god I got'em.
You don't have to wear bulky items under your jacket to keep warm and you are much more comfortable.

Unfortunately I can't vouch on behalf of the handguard/heated grip crew, but you can pry my heated gloves from my toasty warm, dead hands.  I took them out at 30 the other day and had zero problems.  When I was trying them on, the guy at the shop was giving me his take on the set:

"I put them on and rode for a while, but I didn't think it was that cold and I couldn't feel them working, so I turned them off.  After I turned them off, my hands got cold".

He was precisely right.  When they're set to the right temp, you can't even tell it's cold outside.  When I picked them up I was worried about feel and general discomfort as the chunky insulated gloves I've been wearing bunch up something awful and don't have the feel I like.  Not a prob with the Gerbings.  Go try a pair on at the shop for the best fit, but if you can't make it in, the sizing chart they supply is spot on.  The measurements worked for both me and my pops.  I guess it's a kind of cash vs. determination situation.  For a $25 pair of heated grips and a $50 pair of vstrom handguards, you may very well have a pretty nice setup on your hands.  Then again, go out and spend a couple hundred and get the gerbings with all the goodies and I doubt you'll be dissapointed.  I'd make recommendations on protecting the rest of your body from the chills, but my hands were the biggest issue.  Problem solved.

Tour Master Synergy liner and gloves.  Keep me warm at highway speeds when the ambient temps are below freezing.

Can anyone suggest some non-heated cold weather gloves? 

Racer (hard to find!) or RevIT, waterproof, carbon-backed gloves.  The carbon keeps the heat in from the grips quite nicely.

Helds are awful--too stiff.

I got the new Scorpion winter jacket and gloves for the bf for Christmas.  He commuted 15 miles in 23 degrees and was nice and toasty warm.  Oh, and he's on an SXV, so it's not like he's getting any wind protection!

Which one did you get for him? (lucky guy!) Ive been wanting to get one for a while now. Their commando xdr jacket is sweet looking but way way out of my price range.
