T5 gloves from Gerbing’s
Thinking I might get a pair of heated gloves, has anyone used the T5 gloves from Gerbing’s. Or can anyone recommend another?

I have the G3 and they work great.
T5 is different wire I think. Both are lifetime warranty. I tried them on at the local dealer. The difference for me was fit. Operation seemed the same. |

Thanks guys, how cold have you gone with them. Do you use any kind of wind deflector for your hands? Last year temps got down into the teens for some rides trying to decide whether to go with just the gloves or if I should do both.

You can ride in about any temps with the heated gear. You should pickup the jacket liner as well. Without it your core will still get cold as the body works harder to warm it, thus making the rest of your body colder. With the jacket, you will have plugs at the sleeves for gloves. Without it, wiring for the gloves will be cumbersome running through your jacket sleeves or hanging in front of you.

I bought Gerbing inserts for flexibility.
I mainly use Outdoor Research (OR) mittens for the outer shell. Down to 11 degrees for an hour highway ride without problems (for my hands -- found out my helmet had a couple drafts I hadn't noticed before.)

Thanks to all for your input.
I ordered the T-5s. Sounds like a good choice, only time will tell!

The gloves will help, but you're still going to be cold. I've ridden in 32 degree temp for about 2.5 hours at about 65 mph. I had heated gloves and hand deflectors and it was still pretty miserable.

I bought G3 gloves. Nice stuff. Totally toasty at 42 degrees riding at 70mph - my first test. Last year my cut off for winter time riding was 45 degrees. This year I will "try" down to 30 on 40 minute commute, but anything lower than 30 or longer than that- I'm driving or not going at all. This is supposed to be fun, not miserable.

I drove from Minneapolis to Branson Mo the end of Feb in 2001 on a 1998 Vulcan Classic started out in Minn at 21 degrees got up to 38 when I got into Branson.... no heated anything, just layered insulated undies, clothes leathers and rain gear.... glove were insulated Gortex/Thinsulate hunting gloves....pulled over every 45 minutes to an hour at gas stations to hit the coffee.
Only problem I had when I started out was the little draft that came up under the helmet right under my chin on my neck.... easy to fix... got a gator. Dont mean I would do it again......unless I had to.

The coldest of my winter riding is for PGR missions, but to be honest I do not find riding in the cold all that miserable. Maybe working and playing out in the Montana cold for ten years I built up a tolerance. I wear my leathers and use engine guard chaps and with the exception of my hands I am fairly comfortable down into the teens. I have Olympia winter gloves that do the trick into the mid twenties. Hopefully the heated gloves will ensure, on the occasions I need to ride in the more extreme conditions, I won't be miserable.
Besides according to many out there, we are all crazy for riding at all! Thanks to all and ride safe!

With heated liners or gloves you will be good in any conditions for the most part. I am ordering some of those hiway bar chaps today. I hope they keep my legs and knees warm. I don't like to wear a bunch of extra lower garb on my commute.
