    I agree, Im a right fat bloater...but by heck my fingers were so painful last January! Ive bought some Goretex gloves for this year but Im not optimistic.
    Id love to put the bike away for the snow and Ice but it wont happen which is why I asked about the Keis gloves.
    I am not looking forward to painfull digits again :(

    Ken's right ...., I have an assortment of heated kit
    I have Keis gloves and Star Trek gillet
    More recently I bought Gerbing gloves and a jacket with sleeves
    Last winter I rode in air temperature of 2 degrees so with windchill probably down to -25 and when I got to Wessons cafe I was so toasty I had to take off my outer jacket to cool down :)

    Should be simple shouldn't it, unfortunately due to some duty changes and getting a lift home one evening from a different finishing office, my kit wasn't in the places it needed to be - waterproof stuff was at one place and i and the bike were at another, meant I rode home in the torrential M62 spray this afternoon wearing highly inappropriate attire, leather jeans, honda legends fleece and a pair of tcx race boots, meanwhile my rukka suit and Daytona boots were sitting warm and dry 12 miles away .......grrrrrr.

    Well, I have used them (R&G ones) for years on my Blade - and the number of times they have kept me sane is huge - esp. of note when I encountered this in June this summer in Italy

    Any silly bugger can get themselves cold, it's easy. Do what you have to so you can be comfortable and you will ride better and safer. I haven't got them on the blade, but have them on another bike, There Great! .......... But I'm an old git so I don't care what others think about me.
