Default Gerbing G3 heated gloves

Monday night I'll write a review of the G3's I just purchased on saturday. I'll be riding the ZR1100 most of the week as the suburban is in the shop for valve train noise.

Forecast is for 30*F when I leave tomorrow morning. These are the new "microwire" technology.

Hook up was extremely easy. Remove the cables from your battery ( negative first, then positive ) add the supplied lead ( positive first then negative ) and reattach. A supplied split lead goes into your jacket and down the arms where a coax style plug connects each glove. Each finger and thumb is heated along with the back of the hand.

The real test will be in the morning. On my left hand, the pointing finger was cut twice ( once to the bone ) , the middle finger tip smashed and my ring finger had a good slice which required 8 stitches to close so circulation isn't too good. Pink finger tips after the 18 miles into work will mean a very good product.
