Web Bike World performs a huge number of product evaluations on all motorcycle clothing and accessories.  I have several of the items that they have reviewed and I believe that their comments are honest and correct.  Considering the time of the year, I thought that their reviews of electrically-heated gloves might be of interest to the members of this forum.

Here is a link to a review of their favorite wireless battery heated gloves:  http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-gloves/vquattro-squadra-gloves/

And here is a link to their reviews of all of the heated gloves that they have tested: http://www.webbikeworld.com/site-search/search-results.htm?q=battery%20heated%20gloves

I like a lot of webbikeworld reviews, though their site is not the easiest to navigate.

I own a set of the Cortech Scarab winter / rain gloves, and noticed they reviewed the gloves.

While they do state that cold weather comfort will be determined by the individual user's tolerance for cold, I noticed several commenters stating that they found the gloves to be ineffective even in "cool" temperatures. I find my hands start to lose heat to wind below 50 degrees F or so. My personal record for cold hands was after a 90 mile ride @ 50-60 mph in 40 degree weather wearing these gloves.

They are tolerable for my 25 minute commute down to the upper 30s. I have commuted with them down to mid 20s, hands are icicles when I arrive at work. I have installed air deflectors on the Zero which help, but I think a set of heated gloves are in my near future. Maybe I can hold out for one more riding season : )
