I finally got to try my Frogg Toggs rain-gear, and I would highly recommend them. They are large and trap a lot of air, but are amazingly warm considering. I only had a short sleeve shirt on under the jacket, it rained like hell, and I arrived back after a couple of hours bone dry. Temp was 41F. Suit did its job, but my fingers were definitely cold. It wasn't as bad as last week in a 33F ride, but this is making me kick around the idea of heated hand-grips. Has anyone tried them? I know they are typically used on snowmobiles, but I would love to extend my riding season.

Thanks in advance-

Got some, but being a lazy bu**er not installed them yet. Should be on before the end of the year

They are good, but think handlebar mitts would hep more by taking the wind blast of your hands

I've got them and they are great. For me it means I can use summer gloves late into the autumn

I have them on a Tiger 1050.

I would recommend a heated jacket before grips. If you warm you core the rest of your body will be very comfortable, hands and feet. I rarely use the heated grips in the winter, I actually run non-insulated gloves too about 35 degrees.

If the stator can handle it look at adding a heating jacket first before the heated grips.

Hi Mich, I ride through the Auckland winter wearing Rain-Off (http://www.rain-off.com) gloves over my winter gloves. Like your rain gear, they are large and trap a lot of air, and they keep the gloves dry and warm. You can probably get them (or something similar) in the US. Heated grips would be a plus but I find eliminating the wind chill factor from wet gloves is sufficient for me. Then again, Auckland is probably not as cold as Michigan.

I use a full set of Venture heated liners. Neck to toe but only bother with the foot beds if I am going on a trip out of town.

I use Oxford heated grips and Tucano Urbano muffs which means its fingers toasty and summer gloves all year round.
