Which heated Gloves

[TYKEBBS]

I would imagine that most name brands offer similar levels of warmth and waterproofness. Fit would be my priority. I find the thumbs on most gloves are too long and as the left thumb does all the important controls, it needs not to have an inch of overhang. I would need to visit a shop that carried a number of brands.

Fit is always an individual thing...the length of the fingers and thumbs on the Furygan gloves happen to be perfect for me , I do have fairly large hands, but only take a size L glove fitting

I have now tried these gloves indoors and they are very effective with heat reaching the finger tips, the gloves are super comfy and very well protected...the only thing is there is no specific visor wipe facility

Glen, I haven't ridden out on the bike with these gloves yet, however there is enough space with the Gloves cuff for the glove to fit over my jacket cuff, FYI I wear a RevIt jacket which has velcro cuff adjustment

Thanks, I also wear a Revit jacket so very useful information. The arthritis in my hands is getting worse so heated gloves may well be the way forward.

I'll leave some feedback after I've tried out the gloves.

I'm impressed by the quality of these gloves....it is possible to make individual adjustments via smartphone connectivity, which is a feature wasted on me TBH

Update:

I haven't forgotten about leaving feedback, but haven't been well enough or had any decent weather to ride out so can't report back just yet

I won't forget

Been looking into some decent winter gear - tempted my Keis to get their jacket, trousers and gloves and power them from an Ezcan circuit..

or had any decent weather to ride out so can't report back just ye

The recent cold and wet weather would have been perfect for testing.

Agreed, but unfortunately not perfect for my current health condition

I reckon there will still be more cold days to come

I finally got to try out the Furygan Heat X gloves today

I pre-warmed the gloves up for about 5 minutes before putting them on

The fit is excellent, I followed the size guide on their website

The weather here today was cold but sunny (about 6c) I stayed mainly on A roads where there was more cold wind to test the gloves performance

I found the fit good in so far as all the bikes controls were still operational, the thumb length is perfect for me, (I have read that some users find it too long) , obviously the gloves are brand new and haven't been broken in yet, but even so the material is soft and comfortable...the gloves appear to be very well made with quality material, my 'usual' gloves are Held Air&Dry which I have worn extensively for many years so they 'fit like a glove'

In the bright sunshine I did find the coloured effect on the control button somewhat difficult to see but it was easy to shield the small control panel on the back of the glove and it was then very easy to see, there are three settings all of which are easy to use and effective...the warmth is noticeable and travels to your fingertips, the temperature of both gloves is controlled by either of the gloves buttons...it is possible to interface these gloves with a mobile phone and in doing so many more features can be accessed, personally I'm not bothered about that feature

The gloves have touch screen sensitive finger tips, and they obviously offer good protection when needed

I did find the batteries quite slow to fully charge, but that's no problem if you plug them in in good time

Am I pleased with my 200 + GBP purchase....yes I am and I would happily recommend them
