Thanks again, Iron Jias for sending these over! To anyone who may want to check these out, at the time I am posting this video, they are having a Black Friday sale on their website.
Love the idea of these gloves. about 5 years ago i spent $300 and bought the hotwire plug into your bike heated jacket with the plug into jacket gloves. best money ever spent. I just bought extra plugs and have them on all bikes so i can just jump on and plug in and go.
Another item to consider are the HippoHands wind blockers for your bars. The have a black Friday sale good through the weekend. I ordered some a few days ago. Keeping the wind off our hands goes a long way to help keep our hands from freezing too.
I ride all year around even in the winter and I personally like the oxford heated hand grips. They have a handle bar mounted controller and you can wire them straight to your bike's battery. Then you wouldn't have to worry about puncturing the lithium batteries in the gloves... I also use the hotwired heated jacket liner which also wires in straight to the battery and I can probably ride in sub zero temps and be fine
I love your videos and suffer from the cold. The last time I rode that trail from my house, I got caught in the snow also, barely made it back to the dirt road headed back to town. I have been riding for 3 years but have never cleared that section on my 2004 WR250.
Hahaha I think they’re mule deer tracks but definitely possible for it to be a cougar. I think about a year ago some hunters shot a good size wolf in the area (but I’m not sure if I’m remembering right lol)
happy you ride ith war hands ! I used past years to heated gloves but no battery integrated so i ended fed up with cables connexion . new H gloves with integrated batterie are interesting, IF it is easy to buy spare ( and cheap) batteries '( which are small, so easy to bring 2 or 3 sets ) for long trips, curious to see if you can test them , battery charging on its usb C port , still heating ??, Cons ; battery position on under wrist , which is exactly the place where hands land on ground by reflex, when crashing :( keep the good work, hope companies will send you others products for your real tests !!!! ( im using for years Siberian soldering gloves bought in Russia; of course they stand the super cold, but mainly keep preemption and touch feeling )
Riding with warm hands are a huge help for sure! Yeah, I agree. Having batteries instead of cables are much better, but it would smart to have backup batteries. I haven't tried using the gloves while plugged in (yet) but I bet it does work. The placement of the batteries is definitely concern, but I will just have to do my best to not hit them when I crash.. I hope I get the chance to field test more gear too!! Also, I bet those gloves from Russia are incredible! They know how to handle cold over there.
Great video, personally I would not be concerned about the batteries puncturing. I live in North Idaho and have had bikes with heated grips, which I liked, but I think I should look into these. Thanks for the comprehensive explanation. Ride Safe 😎
Thanks! Yeah, I think I would have to hit them pretty hard. I just gotta me aware of them when I am riding on rocks. Do you remember what brand of heated grips they were? I was thinking of looking into those.
@ They were the Standard Heated Grips on my ‘21 Harley Pan America Special. Have you tried Hippo Hands? BTW, I just ordered a pair of the Heated Gloves, I rode today in 40 degrees and my hands got cold in my warmest (unheated) gloves.
I have a similar pair of e-gloves (different brand but look similar & use same battery.) But listen Jack, I've found the next level for moto-ing -- heated grips. I'm strictly a dirt biker / singletracker / no plate but I've found heated grips allow me to run thin gloves year 'round. The e-grips are wired into my headlight switch so they automatically shut off whenever my engine stops running (as does my headlight) so they don't drain my battery whenever switched on. Anyway I like my e-gloves but they're just too bulky for spirited off-roading IMO. Meanwhile heated grips... day da bizniz, me fren. 👍
@@madjack_757 Ha, wish I could tell you! When I purchased the bike ('23 KTM 300XCW) two years ago I had the shop make a significant list of upgrades, heated grips being one. I didn't ask which brand the shop installed. Also since you're on a dual sport bike, your higher speeds may necessitate heavier gloves due to more wind chill. I live & ride singletrack in Oregon; our dense forest trails keep speeds relatively low. Something to think about, eh.
@@madjack_757 I should mention that I really enjoy watching your vids, Jack. I love motorcycling but with your multiple camera angles & drone footage, your vids bring the riding & scenery to another dramatic level. Not to mention because of your YT channel, I absolutely want to make a road trip to ride my bike in Idaho... heck, your vids practically make me want to live there! Thanks so much for bringing us along. 👍
@juniormissle thanks so much!! That means a lot because I put a lot of work into the videos! Idaho is definitely one of the more unique places I have explored next to UT and WA. It’s definitely worth visiting and I’d recommend coming in July-August for riding! Only drawback to riding in ID is the riding season can be short in the mountains but it really motivates you to make the most of each sunny day out there 🤟🏼🤟🏼
I didn't mention it, so its good you asked! I wear thermal wool socks, then a full merino wool base layer (always always wear merino wool), then I also have a thermal shirt on top of that, then my boots, riding pants, chest plate, wind breaker, riding vest, and neck gaiter. Having a base layer of merino wool is really important. It is a pricey fabric, but it works incredibly well. Even when it gets wet, it can still retain body heat. The windbreaker is also super important since anytime you are on a motorcycle you'll be exposed to wind chill. The neck gaiter is a small item, but makes a big difference as well. Its scary just how fast you will become cold by having your face/neck exposed to the air!
Helpful review - thanks. There seem to be 4 models with moderate price increase. Web site doesn't offer comparison. Any ideas on what is different? I'd have thought maybe bigger batteries, but images don't support this.
Do these have heating elements on the palm side of your hand or just the back side? It’s my fingers (the palm side) that always get cold, so I have heated grips on my DRZ. I need a solution for my KTM though, so gloves and Hippohands might be the solution. Heated grips on a Husky or KTM aren’t easy since it requires a standard throttle tube since our bikes have ODI lock-on grips.
Good question! The heating elements mainly overlay the tops of your fingers and there is a cold spot on the tips of the thumbs. Hippo hands are great so I have heard, but I have never tried them. Yeah, I never wanted to mess with installing another electronic thing on my bike lol. I have so much hooked up to my poor battery hahahahaha.
For me, battery powered heated gloves have been both great and horrible at the same time. For short less then a hour ride they are great but on a ride that is more the three hour one way they fail. I think if you could get spare batteries it would be awesome.

That’s so awesome!! Sounds super comfortable during the cold season. Smart you have it set up on all the bikes too 🤟🏼
This is such a quality content brother. Always feels good to watch your vids. Keep up!
Thanks so much man!
Always a fun riding video, great channel man!
Thanks so much!

Love your videos man, the quality is just insane:)
Great timing! I went for my annual Turkey Run ride on my 500exc today and was telling myself, "man, I really need some heated gloves!" LOL
Thank you Jack
The gloves are dope but did you notice the mountain lion tracks on the trail😵

I believe the prices are based on different cosmetic designs, but they are all made with the same internal components/battery
YO! What is your filming setup? I'd really like to be able to capture riding footage and upload to look as good as your videos.
Check out my YT bio! I have all my camera gear listed 🤙🏼
Agree, some of the best videos and editing out there.

Riding in the snow is Gay !
Explain. We'll wait.😑
It’s pretty fun actually! (if you don’t crash lol)
Happy!
