Looking to replace my 7V Gerbing heated glove liners......the rechargeable batteries are getting tired....and they're bulky under my leather gauntlets
Sort of like riding with boxing gloves on!
This time around looking to go with a 7V heated leather glove.
Any recommendations?
(also - not interested in 12V gloves wired to my scooter's battery - or to a body/pack battery. I'm constantly taking my gloves off and on to take pix - so, don't want to fool with plugging things in)
Thanks,
Stig

Is heated hand grips a possibility?

Is it not possible to replace the batteries?

Well, kind of an obsolete glove. Lady at the company apologized. "No, sorry."
But did get it at a good price😊

Well, would rather not stress my small scooters' electrical systems.
When I'm getting cold, and ready to ride home on a 20°F day, I don't want any starting issues with my EFI scoots!
Slip on my gloves, turn on the heat....and go.

Makes sense, the BMW'S have heated hand grips is why I suggested them. Surprisingly none of the Kymco's. Never owned a pair of heated gloves or heated socks. I guess they make a heated vest as well. I would think they would be popular with snowmobiler's as well.

Can you wire the gloves some how to your 12v battery ?

Having ridden just about everyday for 65 years....in all weathers, including wet Germany/cold Wisconsin/Wet Washington, etc.----but never having heated gloves/mitts or heated grips (But would like to try heated grips. did once on BMW test ride)--- I find for over gloves/mitts, #1 water/wind proof #2 warm, I find cheap WalMart ski gloves covered by Aerostich Overmitts=works, maybe could be better in temps under 30 degrees F for all day riding. But at 81, why do I have to do that?

So, you've no recommendation for 7V heated gloves?

No on the heated gloves---just something to go wrong on cold/wet all day ride in my book.

How much extra amp output on your scoot? I love my grip heaters

Stig, can I point you in the direction of (river or lake) fishing equipment suppliers? They're good at waterproof battery heated stuff (I have a battery heated gillet).
Also consider skiing equipment suppliers. They make some decent (and well priced) battery heated gloves. Perhaps not up to the armour of bike gloves, but I don't suppose you or I tear up the tarmacadam these days.

That's not a bad idea.
But....think I do want to go with leather - for that unfortunate day....
But, I'll look.
Thanks for the idea.

For the misc off brand gloves off Amazon, just make sure to return 'em within 30 days if you get the slightest issue.
I tried a variety of them last year. I don't own any currently, they all failed one way or the other.

This is what I have. Very good.

Thanks, I looked at those. But I want heavy leather, and need size XXXL. Other website offers them at 1/2 this price - but only tiny sizes.

If price isn't a big deal then maybe
