Between 50-100 last time i looked at newenough. As far as recommending any brand...I live in Florida.

So I don't actually know how great they work, maybe some of the northern folks will chime in in a bit.

though not a subsatute for winter gloves... Knox makes "cold killer" glove liners... they're wind proof.

I've thought about them several times... be nice for road trips where you might have a cold morning but warm in the afternoon... and you save weight by just carry'n these liners rather than heavier gear.

I checked out the Timax, a bit out of my budget right now. I'll also check out heated grips too. I'll need to see how much my alternator puts out.

Thanks

I've been using a knock-off brand of Hippo Hands for over 30 years. Here's a pair on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/hippo...mZ330279907939
It keeps the wind off your hands so you can wear lightweight gloves underneath and completely feel the controls.
