Just pre-ordered a pair of these!

I don't know how good they will actually be, but hopefully they will keep my hands warm in the short rides to and from work and to the shops.

I'll write a mini review when the snow is gone.

They sound useful for a commute! Maybe they'll produce a more amoured Motorbike type glove in time.
Perfect for my short commute...for some reason I always get cold hands on the way home, despite having thick gloves and Tucano muffs!

They sound the business. If I didn't already have some Oxford Hot Hands I'd be very tempted. Keep us informed chap once you've tested them.

Very interesting, please let us know once you get to use them for a bit about their performance. Can these be worn as inner gloves or standalone only?

MrGrumpy, i had that issue as well with muffs and gloves because i had my gloves heated in the morning on top of the heater and coming back from work there's no heater in the office so i was wearing them from cold. Pair of Keis inner heated gloves fixed the issue

[MrGrumpy]

Somewhere I've got a pair of the Oxford heated wrap around thingies - but I can't find the damned things anywhere!! I think my cold hands issue is a body clock issue, as I'm very much a morning person. In the afternoon, I always feel cold! I do take the gloves into the office rather than leaving them in the scoot in very cold weather which does help. I'm currently trying out a Tucano Muffs+ winter gloves + inner gloves combo! But the inner gloves can be constricting.

people really need to grow a pair

ive never needed heated stuff as i find the proper bike gear to be good enough

spend a bit more on things and they tend to work

jacket was £170 quid (was off an insurance claim as someone drove into me) i have wore it for four years and it has never leaked once, its warm , admittitly its getting a bit grubby now as its bright yellow

my gloves cost me 45 quid they are spada enforcers ive had them for two years now and they are brillian my hands are warm when i get to work and they keep my hands dry

We're all different Andy. And we all ride different bikes and ride at different speeds. Speed can make a massive difference as to how cold anyone gets...more speed = more cold! Riding at commuter lower type speeds is often very different to cruising at 70-75mph, even if you only have to do 70-75 for short distances of a few miles. Riding 10 miles at 50mph is perfectly bearable for most on a very cold day without heated grips and the like. But ride that same distance on a motorway at 70mph under the same temperature conditions and you can easily experience unpleasant hand and brain numbing cold, or even body chill if you haven't got the right gear on. On a very long run in winter the heated stuff is a must in my opinion, and is a great comfort aid and aid to safety. Personally, I never get cold whatever I ride. I have an inbuilt body heater of some sort which gives me natural warmth! But even I feel the cold on the hands sometimes and I'm glad to have the heated grips and handguards on a very long run in winter. They do the trick alright. I've a Birmingham and back trip of around 400 miles next week so hope it isn't snowing! Or actually, I do, as I've not yet had the Burgman out in the snow...that'll liven things up a bit I dare say!
