This morning when I left the house it was around 33*F. Per directions, I started the bike and then plugged the gloves in. Literally in seconds I could feel warmth.
The G3's feel great, nice and supple like they're already broken in. Controls are easy to operate and the wiring stays out of the way. About 2 miles from my house is a valley with a creek running thru it, it always feels cold in there but this morning wasn't too bad.
Usually my fingertips would start to feel cold about 12 miles into the 18 miles to work, this morning my fingers felt nice and warm. I got to work, unplugged the gloves and shut off the ZR1100. I pulled the gloves off and my three "problem" fingers felt great, nice and pink like they're supposed to be.
When I left work it was already dark, raining and about 45*. I decided to see how the gloves were without plugging them in. I rode into town ( about 11 miles ) and my hands were comfortable. After a quick stop at the store, I plugged the gloves in for the way home and felt the warmth right away.
I must say even though these gloves go for $140, it's a good value. I'm very happy and this should really help extend my riding ( and comfort too )
I purchased these at the local cycle shop and got a 10% discount for showing them my current AMA membership card.
