If you don’t want your gloves to be heated….

I purchased the RST Paragons last week and I will be returning them on Monday.

I agree with what was said in the video.
1) Battery time to recharge is too long.
2) Battery life is woeful. I had one glove turn itself off after barely 60 miles riding, though they had been on charge that night and displayed a fully charges green light.
3) The tips of my fingers and especially my right thumb gets cold every time.

Don't waste your money.

switched to handlebar mitts and never looked back. They can't be beat! As long as you can operate your switch gear without looking (and you should, ) handlebar mitts are the ultimate answer to warm hands in cold weather riding.

God bless SportsBikeShop and team <3

Quality video 👌 Thanks Tony / SBS team.

[smith]

Perfect timing!, I was out yesterday and even with my heated grips on my finger tips and back of hands were freezing. 🥶

[mikedignum]

Time to go to my local sportsbikeshop and try some on.

[PokerMuppet]

For anyone interested, Keis have a new G901 glove out which is part of their 'Extreme Heat' line to match the J505 jacket.

[davecarrera]

My RST's are in their 2nd Winter and working great.

[FatBiscuitYT]

The things I dislike about the RST ones is they have no palm slider/scaphoid protection and they have drawstrings to tighten the gloves around your wrist which flap about in the wind. If they took a note out of Knox's lineup of gloves, I would like to see better palm sliders and a tightening system using BOA just like the Knox Handroid Mk5 gloves. Other than that they are pretty good.

Keis 701 in conjunction with with Keis J501 jacket!! perfect for me!! plugs straight on to the bike,

[Crosshatch]

Man I done 20 yr with dear gloves .never had heated gloves or mits but at 58 I’m bying .

Ive got heater gloves from Five as they offered good protection as well as battery powered heat. This week has been 0 degrees in the morning. The gloves kept the worst of the cold at bay. They are comfortable out of the box. I can wear them over or under my Oxford hinterland jacket but under the button to adjust heat is hidden. I think i get about 3 hours on high. I got spare batteries on ebay just as cover if i forget to charge them.

[Ducatibiker]

I use 12 year old gerbings which get nice and warm but they are chunky and a bit awkward depending on which bike I use, in contrast I also use keis short ones, which don’t get as hot as the gerbing but are more comfortable and more tactile with buttons 😊

[ScotsmanDougal]

I had the Keis G701 gauntlets, they were good for short rides but anything over an hour, they really let me down. I now have a batwing so I don't really need heated gloves. Up until last week, I was still wearing my summer gloves (Alpinestars Copper).

[shanemassey]

Ive just purchased a pair of richa inferno v12 heated gloves. Not tried them yet as the last couple days. Will update on how waterproof and how well they work when ive rode in the cold abd wet.

[JuanCarlos-onpj]

Which one do you think is the best heating the finger tips and the rest of the fingers taking into account that I have heated grips?. Thanks a lot!

[aNicerPlace]

Thanks for the review, although 7°C is hardly a good proving ground for £200+ heated gloves!

[JP-stjs]

Hi Tom. First of all, have a good year. I would like to know your opinion between the Furygan Heat X Kevlar gloves and the Macna ion?
Thanks

[stuartkraven]

Just got the RST gloves.
Rode home for 20 minutes in -1°c. On max setting my hands were comfortable and fingers were not cold.
My bike is a KTM adventure with hand guards, so will have an affect on how much wind hits my hands.

[PokerMuppet]

Nice little summary but a shame that it only includes well established brands and models and that RST, Macna wasn't included. How can they become popular if they don't get coverage?
Unfortunately, all these gloves suffer from the same problem in that they are all heated winter gloves and many of us find them all too bulky and uncomfortable on the bike. I ride all year round with a pair of Alpinestars GT-S X-Trafit gloves which I would say are 3 season or even summer gloves and would love a pair of these or similar that were heated. Even if the back of the hands and fingers were thicker and more padded for the heating elements, the thinner and better feeling of the palm is for more appreciated than thick winter gloves.
Overall though, the prices are ridiculous... especially £50 for a cable (Furygan) and when batteries aren't included. Most of these gloves offer very little other than the heat over gloves that you can buy for less than £100.
