12v cable heated gloves best of both worlds.

Nice review. Would you mind sharing your ht/wt and what size vest did you buy?

Which size is best suited for someone that wears M size cloths?

New Member, I'll be watchin.

That smell is OSR or .”oil seed rape”….( yellow flowers) It’s the main ingredient in vegetable oils and is labeled often as canola oil. The blue fields are linseed…. which is another oil crop.

I believe the yellow crop in the fields is Rape. The oil is Rapeseed Oil which is used for making vegetable cooking oil.

the yellow fields you could see and smell are planted with oil seed rape.

Waze for speed cameras and Scenic for motorcyclists are the ones I use

Great bit of protective gear cheaper than hospital bills well worth it if you consider all the pros and cons

Thank you for this video, this was very helpful! 💛🏍️

damn, read that 'review' too late...

I'll go with the grips as I can choose between summer or winter gloves and the level of protection. I had an accident last October with a low slide at 50mph on my FJ1200. Your hands go out automatically to save you, and even though I sustained a dislocated shoulder, my hands we unscathed! A shoulder can be fixed, but a hand that has been completely worn away from dew to road-rash would probably result in an amputation. So heated grips are a win for me!

I dont buy apps, load of bollox, can find sources that are free.

Underrated channel mate. This best rides near London series is top tier 👍

IF one already have great heated grips which obviously are still unable to provide direct heat to the BACK of the hand and fingers? Then it sure does seem to be a shame I dont see ANY heated gloves that I can disconnect power to the palm side of gloves! Because obviously if you only need to power HALF of the glove's heating element then the battery life will be TWICE as long...I mean duhh! And so so many modern motorcycles DO come with really good heated grips...but if it is really cold damp windy? They might be simultaneously woefully lacking on the back of the hand as they are too hot for the palm....PLEASE one of you premium manufactures of heated gloves? Just give us a way to disable the palm side and double our battery life ...is that so hard??

Never used heated gloves, have used installed Oxford heated grips on my cruiser for several winters now, they are great, but if the temp is below freezing (-2 to -8C) they are next to useless, you will feel no heat from them. Something to keep in mind.

To me, you missed the actual most important factor, testing them side by side and saying which one kept your hands the most comfortable on an actual ride.

The little pocket on the front is great for an ICE a card and also putting peage or carpark tickets in My Helite is well used, the hi is really shows the dirt/grime. Keep it clean with some Swarfega and a rinse Most important is to wear it!!

Racing games, both casual games and serious racing games have always been my favorite genre, I just saw a review of Ride 5 and after sadly learning its not available on the XBox One, I am really considering buying Ride 4, and this review is certainly helping sway me towards buying it. Thanks!

I have both heated grips and battery heated gloves. I dropped the latter as they are cumbersome to charge and won’t last long. So I now also have connected my heated gloves to the bike battery which is the best of both worlds.

I usually pick up the 272 from Winchester down to Loomies cafe, which is normally the highlight of the trip. Meet some other riders, drool over some bikes and grab a brew.

Best way to keep hands warm is a car 😅

A great review with some possible improvements: 1. Use a temperature sensor to remove the subjectivity 2. Riding to be separated into 2 categories; town and country 3. Heated gloves are 2-3 times the cost of heated grips in Australia so long term costs should favour the grips. 4. Modern gloves quite often come with insulation and even reflective foil on top of the hand which would improve heat retention for the grips 5. If the time to warm up grips vs gloves is only 30 seconds different then it is not decisive 6. Convenience is subjective as the grips are always useable on one bike and the gloves can go with multiple bikes if you remember them My personal use is heated glove liners bought in the UK in 1985. Only use them when temperatures are lower than 5 deg celsius on a long ride... Probably will go with gloves when the costs lower a little more..

What about wearing them in the summer?

thank you for your review!

A bit of a late reply to this, but most Hot Grips have 5 heat settings, so your points from versatility would get sent back to the grips, making the grips a narrow winner Gloves are definitely a better option for anyone with multiple bikes and living in icy conditions, however, for lower temperatures, i find heated grips work well for me as i have far too many products to charge as it is, i can only imagine the frustration of needing my heated gloves and finding i forgot to charge them and having frozen hands for a ride.

You need both. Even with Barkbusters and Oxford heated grips (UK spec, 9 settings) your fingertips will get cold (at least mine) below 5°C. I'm running Keis G701's as well as heated grips, perfect combo. Battery for gloves last for ages (even though hook up for motorcycle is available).

Riding in the southern UK this year at minus 3 degrees with heated grips on my Rocket 3R. Above 1 degree the grips are good but, over 40 mph, the wind sheer and the iced levers burn my hands. The grips don't help the front of your fingers. Heated gloves solved that for me. I don't need warm hands - just ones that work and don't freeze.

Hiya How much is electricity consumption 🤔

Heated grips with handle bar muffs. Provides heat, protects from wind chill and regular gloves provide better dexterity than winter/heated gloves.

just use muffs…much simpler and effective.

I've had many heated grips over the years. I've found the one's supplied from the manufacturer, to be crap tbh. Also very over priced. I had the cheap r&g one's about £40. And they was better than the yamaha one's, which failed twice in 6 months. Only use Oxford hot grips now, as never had an issue personally. I fit them on every bike and use upto the "proper" winter. Then I use the heated gloves Gerbing to be precise, which I've had for 3 years now. Which are absolutely brilliant and I use straight from the bike. The battery's in my opinion are an over priced unnecessary add on. Takes seconds to plug In and never have to worry about them again. Gloves are better hands down as they heat the backs of the hand and each finger. As said I still use the grips, but in the real cold temps. They just heat you're palm and your fingers get cold still. I've also got the Gerbing heated under jacket, which I brought at the same time. I'm still yet to turn it on, as it's very warm without the heated side.

Gloves heated grips don't heat the back of your hands or the tips of your fingers 🤌

You are brave putting heated grips on a little lexmoto 🤣

I big point is being missed here , the main problem with cold hands in the winter is wind chill , if you’re travelling on a bike at 70 mph and the temperature is +3 , it’s really about -6 on your hands . After living in Norway for 10 years the answer is heated gloves/ grips a good pair of hand guards( not the designer ones which cover the levers but large ones ( you can always take them of in the summer) been riding 50 years and I know it works 😊👍👍

I think the grips get round 4, if you forget to charge the gloves when you are late getting home the next ride could be a cold one. I've forgotten to charge my sena headset and ended up having them die half way home. Charging vs always having power is more convenient in my opinion.

BOTH. If you're dumb enough to ride after you've scraped the ice off your seat, you'll need BOTH.

haha I would totally forget to remove it, my dad did it with his scooter forgetting he had a D lock through the back wheel, he gave it some revs starting it and smashed his mudguard off , I laughed so hard when he told me.

I would say, for winter highway riding and cold autumn and spring mornings, get both. For me at least, my heated gloves keep my hands warm enough only at the highest setting when we are talking about temperatures below 10 Celsius, which makes it worthless for long period riding as the battery runs out in an hour or so. When you combine the toasty feel of heated grips and the comfortable feel of the warmness from the heated gloves, they make a perfect combo together. You feel almost like it’s just summer outside. No pain. I only tested this at the lowest of 5 Celsius. Haven’t yet got to ride on lower temps with this combo, but I also haven’t used the highest temp setting on the grips yet either. So I’m confident it will be the same for freezing temps too. PS: Using original Yamaha heated grips for the MT-09.

Too much expensive

what is diference between Helite Turtle version 1 and 2?

I'd probably keep my license/registration/insurance in the front pocket. They also have a black version now (though I still picked the yellow). As for cost - a good helmet costs the same. After your head, your neck and torso are probably the next things to protect and worth it.

great review, thank you, would you recommend going a size up?

Don't wear a backpack with the jacket.

Great vid. U deserve more subs

What goes in the pocket ? Condoms of course. This is all about maximum protection.

Mines all plugged in correctly but still just reading “0.0 vaults” and “0.00 amps” what have I done wrong?

Comfy to walk?

So... Are these overtrousers to whack on over a pair of normal trousers (for commuting etc) or are these intended to be taken off and normal trousers changed into?

I have both ! Toasty !
