Rukka gloves & heated grips, advice required

[Bobbin-Man]

Following a recommendation on here I'd been thinking about the EXO2 Stormrider - I'm really looking for one with upper back and chest heating included rather than just lower back and pockets. The Gerbing looks good though - notice it has a heated collar as well. Undecided whether to also go for a waterproof one and replace the liner in my Dainese D-Dry jacket. Decisions decisions!

Also Mr Bobbin, I think I heard somewhere that with Reynaulds affecting the hands a death-grip on the bars
can speed-up the onset of the blood vessels closing. So remember to relax often.


I went through 2 pairs of the Rukka Apollo gloves (the tip of the thumb wore out) - the first pair being replaced by Forth Gear
before I bought a pair of Held Touring star gloves - 2 in 1 Gore tex stuff.

With heated grips you could always try having the Gore tex layers on the back of the hand only -
leaving you hands closer to the heating element in the grips.

summer gloves all year round just add muffs any time soon

I bought a pair of EX02 gloves and one failed 2 months outside of the warranty period - as they had clearly barely (less than 10 times) been used I contacted the UK distributor to see if there was any chance of a goodwill free replacement. Nope, but they would sell me a pair at 50%. If they had offered to sell me one at the pro rata rate I would probably have gone for it.

I will replace with Keis liners as their jacket with heated sleeves/collar is brilliant and the customer service (post purchase) is excellent.

I don't want muffs and after around an hour on the M1 on a frosty morning my hands get cold - even with the grips on

Anyone want to buy a working right large EX02 glove?

Has anyone found waterproof gloves that are easy to put on when your hands are wet or damp - as in after a fuel stop for example?

Legacy of one of my old motorcycle injuries is a little finger I can't straighten properly and if my hands are damp, I just can't get a glove onto that hand as the finger just bends.

rukka mars gloves and wet hands bloody nightmare to get them back on

Alpinestars GTX winter gloves have sort of furry interior which makes them relatively easy to pull on wet hands. Not bad option to Rukka stuff anyway. You lose some feel like with any winter ones but not enough to bother too much.
