[QUOTE="mcatrophy, post: 1389462, member: 3187"] I've used heated grips on my FJRs every winter. As far as I am concerned, they keep my hands comfortable indefinitely down to -2C, 28F (the lowest I've been out in) with the exception of the tips of my thumbs, which do get cold. The backs seem to be cold but not uncomfortably so. There is no doubt that heated gloves are better in that they keep all parts of your hands warm. I don't use them because I am unlikely to ride in any lower temperatures, and I find the heated grips fine for my needs. Heated grips are less hassle (no plugging in), and they are always on the bike, so if you get caught out without your heated gloves, they are there. Sometimes very useful, even in summer when the temperature cools and you've only got summer gloves. I do use a heated vest for bodily warmth when out in the cold. Wouldn't be without it when out below 5C, 41F, or even a little higher if it's raining. [/QUOTE]
