Luke, what size were you looking to buy?

Option:
Small / Medium $59.95 In Stock
Medium / Large $59.95 In Stock

Which size?
Available in 2 Sizes; Small and Large.

You might want to try these on before coughing up $67 bucks. I seldom have good luck with on-line sizes. Something to think about?

When I bought my leather gloves (which I love, by the way) I had measured my hand and determined I needed a medium. I accidentally ordered an extra small, instead. While I waited for them to come in, I got really frustrated with myself for not paying enough attention. When they got here, I decided to go ahead and try them on. Guess what? The extra small gloves fit me perfectly! I hate the way that size charts never match reality.

Yes, since they're gloves you better get two, one for each hand . I didn't know they made heated wear with batteries, if you like them I'll get two too. I have heated wear on my MC off of the electrical system and the gloves are the most important, once your hands are cold it spreads rapidly. Since you can't get that much juice out of a scooter to run them that's an ideal solution. Wait! How about a 48 pole stator!? ;D Really, let us know if they work. Rich

good point mad and denise, i too don't put too much trust on their size chart pattern. anyhow,per their chart i should fall on the medium(8inches) category..nevertheless,i find my fingers pretty bigger than regular fingers so i will order the medium-large gloves(8-10inches) and i will cross my finger with my decision.lol
Bash,LOL thanks for reminding me that i have two hands,the left and the right,clean and bright.LOL
i prefer battery operated gloves for two reasons:First, I hate being tied to any bike with a chord. It restricts movement. Secondly, anything that heats is a direct short through tiny wires and that is why they heat up. That is a draw on the bike's battery and or alternator. You add too much stuff to the electrical draw on the bike and you eventually have premature wearing out of the alternator brushes, etc.
And i also plan to use the gloves when me and wifey go snow skiing and other winter activities.
no chords,,i just need to bring extra batteries. i'll let you guys know my assessment on this sissy gloves. TY!

Luke,
What I don't understand is you live in AZ!! When the heck does it get that cold out there that regular Ski gloves will not suffice? I live in a Burb of Chicago and I ride in the winter and all I need is Ski gloves and Ski pants.

Or is just for the coolness

LOL! yeah indeed.,,it's extremes here in AZ, it can get really hot in summer and can get really cold in winter,somewhere around 28-32F during winter. ,and winter is the only season i'm really not a fan of. , plus i'm a small built guy and easily feel chilly.
ha ha,yeah coolness is my second purpose of buying..,sssshhh don't tell them..lol
hope i can wear these gloves in my feet too..lol

[Alleyoop]

28-32f WOW!! is this during the day or at night. I know the temps drop dramatically during the night out there but I didn't know it got that cold during the day. Well with temps like that you might need feet warmers as well:)

[LUKE]

that is at night,,and 38-50 through out the day. ,and windchill is another issue too.
sad thing is that i cannot do my stunts during winter.----> www.flixxy.com/scooter-pro-rides-backwards.htm

28 to 32 degrees! My cold, cold heart bleeds for you poor southern folk! I don't mind that range in the winter. That's ok for cooking on the grill. It's the 10 above and below that get me.

I had a pair of battery powered, heated hunting socks. The batteries bounced around and drove me nuts and they really didn't work all that well.

Somebody makes big mittens for your handlebars. I know a lady who has them and loves them.

[madcollie]

OH, OUCH, OWEEI, BRRR! 28-32 DEGREES, HOW CAN YOU TAKE IT

If we had those temps here in the winter it might make me a fan. Then maybe we wouldn't get the 130" of snow that comes with it.

Sorry Luke, I feel for ya but I just can't reach!

I think someone likes to ride like hell and not go anywhere! ever see cheetch and chong in "up in smoke"? A scene in it is where one of them dopers sits inside house reving a smoking bike who's exhaust is piped out side to kill the neighbors flowers!
