Oxford heated grips?

[Motu]

I rode home tonight wearing my winter Spidi gloves and Rain-offs with my Polly heaters on. Got home and had a nice warm drink...wrapping my hands around the mug to warm them up, bliss. Heated grips or bars are supposed to work like that....but I'm not doing 104kph into a headwind in the lounge.

The gloves I wear cost me $85 a pair ... and the same price for the last three times I've replace them. I get three years riding from a pair before they need replacing. (then I give them to JAFFA riders to upgrade their gear)

Brand and supplier please, not too keen on sloppy seconds.

Heated grips have never made them waterproof. But as you live in Auckland ... Motorcycle shops probably don't actually sell real winter gloves.

No but the guards help slow the wetting process down, and when they are finally wet through, the girly grips at least keep them warm.

Admittedly my personal glove testing program hasn't exactly been exhaustive...like I can count the pairs on the fingers of one hand (that's four btw for you rural types...or mebbe that varies out your way? Yeehah! ).

For real cold mornings I'm using leather ski mittens with thermal lining - $32 from Torpedo7, warmer than any winter motorcycle glove I've used.

I have been known to use bread bags ... held in place with rubber bands to slow the wetting process. (to slow ... being the operative words)

The West Coast of the south island is reknown for rain ... (must be on account of all the rain forests there ) so I get a fair bit of rain experience ...

There are one or two down Oamaru way ... that can count higher ...

heated grips with some kind of wind break.The best combination was a BMW k 100 rs with bmw grips,and the mirrors kept the bulk of the wind of the hands.I kinda felt like i could feel the warmth seeping back through the arms.Twas awesome,would not be without heated grips now

The Honda ST1100 was also pretty good for having the mirrors "Guarding" the gloves ...

I have a set of the 'handlebar mitts' for serious distance in cold or rain conditions, along with heated bar grips, you just cant go wrong. Last lot I bought were around $50
