Re: [St] How effective are heated grips?

[Big Riff <big_riff@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would not go with glove liners.  I had a set of Gerbings and found that they were a real pain to put on under the gloves - I even bought a pair of outer gloves that were one size over.  It took much too long to get everything on and hooked up - even though they plugged into the sleeves of my Gerbing jacket liner.  Also, I found that the heating elements in the liners got pretty uncomfortable after a short time.  I finally broke down and got a pair of the Gerbing heated gloves last year and feel that they are well worth the added cost over the liners.
