Product Description
Firstgear Carbon Heated Gloves

There’s nothing worse than trying to operate your bike with cold, numb fingers. Bulky, unheated gloves make things even tougher by reducing feel, reaction time and complicating operation of the controls. Firstgear’s Warm & Safe heated gloves for men and women feature heating throughout the entire glove, while maintaining the thinness of a summer glove. The gloves plug directly into the jacket liner, or an optional separate wire harness, allowing riders to adjust the temperature of the gloves independently of the jacket with a Dual Heat-Troller.

Features:
  • DC-heated, produces 15 watts of heat at 12.8 Volts (each glove) and should be used with a Firstgear Heat-Troller for optimum safety
  • Grade-A, top-grain, drum-dyed cowhide construction
  • Porelle® breathable, waterproof membrane
  • Thinsulate layer
  • Pre-curved fingers and finger-mounted, rubber, faceshield wiper
  • Elastic wrist and adjustable hook-and-loop gauntlet closure
  • Reinforced protection in palm
  • Reflective piping on top

Terry Penn Valley,  CA Firstgear heated "Carbon" gloves These heat your hands comfortably. When used without heat they work well because they do not have the perforations of the normal "carbon" gloves I have for summer (so wind-chill isn't a problem with the gloves). They probably would be awful in the summer heat, but they are really superior in cold weather. I have Ranaud's phenomenon which causes my hands to go numb and then become severely painful if they get the least bit cold, these gloves do a fine job of preventing me from experiencing these painful episodes. Set to high you are toasty and even perspire, but at a low setting (with the First Gear heat troller) they are quite comfortable and warm without bulkiness. The only problem when paired with the 90 watt jacket liner is that it is a very heavy load on the electrical system, dimming the headlights as the heat troller cycles on and off. On my 1972 Honda 350 it runs the battery down in about 90 minutes, on the 2002 250 Nighthawk I will be putting a headlight kill switch to allow longer daytime rides on cold winter days. If you are waffling on getting these gloves I suggest you give them a try, the better control of the bike provided by warm hands are more than worth the purchase price.

Jay Salem,  OR So Far So Good I've only had these for a month and it has just started getting cold. So far at 30deg with the heat turned all the way up they're wonderful. They have proven to be waterproof at this point but I haven't ridden long distance in the rain yet. As stated you will need a heat controller, and a splitter. I also found that a 24" extension is very helpful, this allows me to keep the Y cable in the jacket. The fit is good and the finish is real nice. I found the thumbs a little long, and they take some effort to hold fingers bent. I gave cost benefit a 4 because they don't seem to get real warm and I'm not sure how they'll do in below 30deg. To be fair I have poor circulation in my hands, so they might be great for others. Overall a good product!

Malcolm Seattle,  WA Great glove, for 5 days anyway Great comfortable glove, but left glove stopped working after 5 days of wear. No heat. And with the no-bulk factor level of insulation, when the heat doesn't work, they're not great for keeping you warm in less than 40 degrees. First Gear told me to contact Warm n Safe who makes the glove. Now I wait, with numb fingers.

B Culv Northport,  NY Undersized !!! Although these glove a quite nice, they are way undersized. I have slender hands and normally order a Large but these gloves a really tight across the knuckles. Sent them back and ordered Extra-Large and they too were still snug. When it comes to keeping warm you want NOTHING to inhibit circulation. Otherwise they seemed fine even unplugged at 40F.

William Hagen Fairfield,  CA Carbon heated gloves These are the first heated gloves I've tried that didn't feel like "Hulk Hands." I have dexterity that were impossible for previous versions from other manufacturers. Although not the equal of summer-weight gloves, they're still very good. And warm without being hot.

Steve Metz Carlisle,  PA Just What the Doctor Ordered This is my first winter of riding and I found that even the warmest non-heated gloves I could find left me with dangerously cold fingertips below 32 degrees. These were the solution. I've gone on 50 mile rides in the upper 20s, and shorter rides in the upper teens and been perfectly comfortable. I need to mention a couple of things, though. Some other brands of heated gloves have the heat controller built in. With these, you need to also buy the heat controller and, if you're not using them with a Firstgear heated jacket liner, a Y cable. So that adds almost an additional $100. Second, as others have pointed out, the gauntlet part is so small that I have a tough time getting a good seal around my sleeve. Firstgear could have added an inch more material which would have fixed this issue without adding much to the cost.

Karl Rhyner Sandy Hook,  VA Outstanding glove 8 degrees, 65 mph, at night. Heat turned up full blast, your hands will not freeze and the tips of your fingers may get a little cold, but hey, these gloves are very light for a winter glove. You can get so hot in mild temps that you can burn your hands. Fit is true at least for size large. They are warmer then the Tour Masters Synergy heated glove that I was using.

Tim Budd Alexandria,  VA Great Gloves A bit stiffer than I would like, but heater works awesome. No problem during ride in 19 degrees. I use 1/2 power at 30 degrees. These gloves have totally changed winter riding for me.

Rita Weeks Leesville,  SC Gloves The gloves run a bit small so one might consider that when purchasing. We returned them and hope to order a larger size shortly.

Phil Parsons Salina,  KS Carbon Heated Gloves These gloves are great, I wish they were just a little warmer, but they are better than anything else I've tried. I ride year round with the Legion Riders, I have ridden with them so far at 10 Degrees, for 50 miles, one way, and I was in better shape than my friends. Kansas winter weather can get pretty bad, but these gloves are great.
