Battery Operated Heated Gloves

Warmawear Gloves Deluxe

 

OK...I know these might be crap, but I ordered them anyway.

 

I decided to throw myself under the bus and test these out. I ain't expectin' much, but you never know.

I wonder if anyone else has ever used these....

BTDT.....a complete waste of Dairy Queen funds IMHO.

 

Boomer......who now has real electric gloves to keep his booger digging implements dry and warm.

I have a set of battery powered glove liners you can put on under those battery powered gloves, and I bet my new set of real 12V electric gloves will still be much warmer!

 

I hope they work out, get rechargeable batteries because you will use a lot of them.

 

Let us know what you think.

Had some battery-powered electric socks a few years back. One 9 volt battery for each sock. The heating element got so hot I had to disconnect the battery after about 15 minutes of use. They worked pretty well for long days standing around Beaver Staduim in the cold.

 

That being said, my Gerbings heated gloves with adjustable controller are

much better.

 

Let us know how the battery gloves work out. Good luck!

I wasted my money also on a pair two years ago, and I just gave them away to someone who thought they were the best thing since flush toilets.

 

Worthless junk they are..... sorry, but had to tell it like it is.

[rumboogy]

Yeah...I am expecting that...but I gotta touch wet paint to see if it's wet too.

 

Thanks all.

Mini got Muffinman a set of battery powered gloves last year...Never did hear how that worked out. I was thinking about some of them myself.

We call them "grissle grabbers" over here and remind me never to shake your hand !! :rasberry:

Sorry they weren't real great. Kinda ok for just cool days but those really cold days not a lot of help.

Bummer! Then again, I can't really tolerate the really cold riding much any more, anyway.

[mini-muffin]

Wasn't too bad only paid about 25 for them so we weren't out alot of money. Was worth a try though. I think the plug in stuff is probably way better. Of course it's more pricey too.

For cold rides of any length, assuming you dont want to install grip heaters or use the 12v gloves, I'd recommend using those little disposable heat packs...sure they only work on the palm or the back of the hand, but no batteries to worry about.

I bought the $25.00 battery operated gloves. They heat the palms and back of the hands ok, but don't work well in the fingers. LilBit used them for about five hundred miles with the same results plus they turned her hands black. Oy!

I bought a pair of mittens from Cabella's and have rode with temps down to 9 deg F, and still have had warm hands. I also have a pair of gloves that you put a disposable heat pack in the back of them, like tx2sturgis was talking about, and they are very warm also. The only thing I don't like about the heat packs is it takes 30 minutes for them to warm up. Both pair are water proof and have been road tested (by me).

I also wasted my money on a pair of battery operated heated gloves. They are never warm enough for me especially for riding. The best that money can buy for heated gloves would be Gerbings. Riding at 20° temps and below - you will want something that will keep up with the cold. I also prefer a direct source of power coming from the bike for extended 1 hour or more trips.

I got a pair of bat gloves and they work ok for messing around outside or for the passanger but not for the driver as we get to much air flow over our hands and it goes threw the gloves. I have some plug in gloves and they work great just wish the thumb would get alittle warmer.

[rumboogy]

OK...I got the gloves today.

 

The gloves FIT VERY WELL...I really like the way they feel.

 

Unfortunately, that is the ONLY good thing about these gloves.

 

They don't feel very durable, and the heating properties of the gloves are almost non-existent and that's after being turned on for about 15 minutes INDOORS.

 

So most of you guys were RIGHT (and I figured you probably would be)...but like I said before, somebody has to touch the "Wet Paint"...and I love volunteering.

Try These http://cozywinters.com/shop/wg-phgl.html I have them and they work great. Just put them under you leather gloves. Sleeperhawks Mechanic also uses them. I use them in conjuction with the Tourmaster Heated jacket.
