My new glove liners

[Ray-zer]

Great info on the liners. I have a heated jacket liner that is great, but have been looking for heated gloves or glove liners.

Sled lids are all DOT. A special plug is required for the elect.visors.

Winter visors are good but, much better with a breath deflector.

I wore them for the commute today (65 miles each way). At least so far this morning they held up pretty well. My hands were still a little cold when I got to work, but not quite as cold as they get wearing non-heated glove liners at about 30 degree temperatures.

They are supposed to last two hours on the highest setting, 5 hours on the lowest (yeah, I did the highest this morning). I'll find out I suppose if the batteries last on the trip home. They are rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries.

Oh, the temp when I left the house this morning was 10F. I kept my speed around 65~70, which, depending on which wind chill reference you are using (old way or new way) would make the "feels like" index at -37 for the old way and -20 for the new way.

MOnzie,

Do these glove liners fit well under your regular gloves? I have winter riding gloves but my hands are already large. My HD glove are 3x. I'd hate to spend the $ only for them not to fit...

They do fit very well. The material is pretty thin. After the first day of riding with them and my hands were still a bit cold - but not uncomfortably so. I decided to see if I could wear my other glove liners in addition to the heated glove liners under my gloves.

What I use for my regular glove liners is a pair of fleece Isotoner SmartTouch gloves.

Everything still fits under my regular winter gloves without feeling too bulky, and the extra glove liner makes a HUGE difference, my hands are toasty warm all the way in now.

I wear a bandanna, which I am finding makes a piss-poor breath deflector. However, I did try something this morning that made quite a bit of difference (good for the meantime while I find a better solution). I taped a Ziploc bag to the bandanna. The Bandanna was still there to help keep my face warm, and the plastic inside it provided a much better deflector for my breath.

Snowmobile helmets (usually) have a breath deflector that velcroes (now 'velcroes' is a verb! ) in place over your nose with a piece of aluminum inside to conform to the bridge of your nose. This in conjunction with the double lens shield work great!

Here's a pic (I hope . . . ) of a shield I just got on warranty from an HJC Street Helmet with the same design approach for cold weather. You can see the two panes lead to a vent on each side . . .

With this helmet you get a chin curtain that snaps and velcroes into place to keep the cold from getting in at your neck . . . still working on the best set up for me on that one!

Monzie, thanks for the review.

Breath deflector,heated shield, and built in sun visor, it slides down like fighter pilot helmet.The breath deflector on this helmet snaps in. DOT approved.
