Gerbing's XR12 Hybrid Heated Gloves Group Buy

positron

Just quick heads up that there's a group buy going on over at VisorDown for Gerbing's heated gloves.

€189 + shipping from Gerbings site, and with the group buy best price is around £99 + shipping.

They would only ship to UK address - so you would either need one, or sign on to ParcelMotel.ie for a UK address.

Here's a detailed review of all Gerbings's gloves:

Seems like a great idea but I dont feel we get the cold temps over here to warrant them gloves TBH. Seems like alot of hassle for a pair of gloves....I would rather have a nice xtra-fit pair of gloves and a set of hot grips.

You are probably right too, but depending on the speed and distance you are doing (40 mins in my case and most of it on M1) you may or may not need this. If you already have a good waterproof winter glove, heated grips might help if you not out for too long at a stretch. Also hand guards will also help. Good gore-tex gloves are around 100 euro, and then the heated grip, hand guards etc - would cost more than these Gerbings. Anywhoo, I have ordered one - only time will tell.

Would rather a pair of HELD AIR n Dry.

Horses for courses etc I suppose.

I have trawled thru the interwebs and have come to the conclusion that when the temperature goes below 5 degrees, and when I need to do 30 miles early morning, Held Warm n Dry, Air n Dry, Alpinestar Jet Road etc just doesn't cut it. They probably would work if I had a shorter commute, or a slower commute, or if I had heated grips and hand guards. But not when the windchill brings it down to -15 on the finger tips, just gloves alone doesn't work, and like I said before the total cost of setup is cheaper with the heated gloves. That's just me though.

Absolutely, I am not saying they are bad or not worth the full price, far from it they look the bizzo. I have 3 sets of good gloves and the heated grips so I have the bases covered, I have yet to experience a winter yet that a good pair of gloves and heated grips dont combat. Then again this is only going to be my 2nd winter :rolleyes:

Let us know how they work out mate, and stick up a few pics when you get them.

carefull now!

Seen a cheap battery operated set in maplins for €40 if anyone's looking for cheap solutions.
