Thermal gloves for under gloves, any good?

[Hitcher]

iv heard that heated handle bar grips are only good on long trips when youve kept your hands on them, and not so flash round town with braking and clutching...??

Whoever told you that was clearly delusional, or somebody who'd also tell you that there is no "gullible" in the Irish Dictionary.

I wear the Dri-rider thermal gloves under my daily-riding gloves. I find them comfy and warmer than just wearing the gloves sans thermals and I have no trouble with gripping the bars, reaching the levers or my gloves binding due to the inner liner. I still find that my hands get chilly when I am out for a longer ride (400Km+) but nowhere near as cold nor as cold as quick as when sans thermals.. I am curious about the silk ones now after following this thread and also was trolling trademe when I came across the Oxford thermal gloves so I am now going to investigate both options further.. I don't want to fit heated grips at this stage..

Nah, hot grips are an awesome accessory for a pussified rider like me... I can admit to even using them on the lowest setting when doing long distance in summer at times

As for the nonsense about hot grips being no good when you take your fingers off...that's a Tui advert. Or a story told by someone who's never had hot grips themselves

Im gunna try some Kathmandu thermals under my summer gloves. I reckon it will work, feels good so far.

But never buy Re-vit gloves. Utter crap.

if Kathmandu thermal gloves are half as good as their merino beanie is then you will be onto a winner for sure

I too find that the heated grips are great for palms, but the tops of my fingers still get cold like hellokitty's. I've also found that operating clutch and brake levers let the cold air sneak its way underneath (when it's frigid riding snotscicle producing weather) so vtrchick is not entirely incorrect in her comment.

Just on this with heated grips. I have carpel tunnel issues. Do hot grips help?
