[QUOTE="gregory, post: 1198398, member: 8728"] I have heated grips on the '13 that will roast the palms of your hands through thick winter gloves right off when I turn them to the highest setting. However, for me, the tops of my hands stay cold so overall my hands are cold. I just got a pair of First Gear heated gloves and have yet to test them on the road. I have plugged them in and the feel pretty toasty. I went back and forth between First Gear (also known as Warm and Safe) but Fred put in a good word for the First Gear (and they were about $60 less then the Gerbings. The First Gear are quite a bit less bulky then my Tourmaster Winter Elites and I have much better feel and control so far. The only complaint at this point is that the gauntlet seems kind of small for bulky winter jackets. You can mix and match heated gear, so no worries there. I think that even if the First Gears turn out to be not that toasty at speed when it's really cold, I will be OK with the grip warmers and gloves combined. [URL="https://www.revzilla.com/product/firstgear-heated-gloves"]https://www.revzilla.com/product/firstgear-heated-gloves[/URL] I agree with Twigg in that grip warmers are the bomb for short term heat. A set of hippo hands or some sort of wind blocking device with grip warmers only might work out well for some. YMMV Greg [/QUOTE]
