Gerbing's T5 Heated Gloves The Gerbing's T5 Leather Gloves are exceptionally light, strong and pliable gloves. The gloves are constructed of a light supple leather to help reduce bulk but designed to keep your hands and fingers toasty warm. The T5's heat the entire length of each finger and thumb as well as the back of the hands. To keep the draft out and heat in, there is an adjustable wrist strap to seal the cuff. Other details include a non slip grip material on the palm, protective padding on the knuckles, reinforced palms, interior waterproofing and Thermolite insulation. Whether it is long distance riding where comfort and warmth are essential or intercity high traffic commuting where safety is a must, the Gerbing's T5 Gloves deliver exceptional performance.

I bought these gloves for a cross country winter trip. I found that they were very good- but it never got very cold! I can say they work well down to about 36 degrees F.
The cuff is hard to get over my riding jacket- and I may cut the cuff and install a zipper before I leave for another trip. The insulation is a bit bulky even for winter gloves, but, then again, what you give up in dexterity you gain in heat.
I used these with a heat troller, btw, so overheating wasn't an issue.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Gerbing heated gear

Hi, I have a ducati 848Evo, but I plan to ride with it as long as possible (also during the winter ;-) ). I'm very interested in buying the Gerbing Gloves + undervest, but I was wondering if my battery could manage all that powerdeduction during the start up of my bike. Is the battery of the duc 848 strong enough for all that extra equipment? Will it recharge sufficiant or do I need to buy a stronger battery?

I don't have the ducati, but I have faith in the charging system. My bike's system is overwhelmed by heated gear when it is idling, but not when it is running at speed. The best way to see what is going on is to add a volt meter that you can read when the bike is on. Then you can tell when the battery is being maintained (12.5 volts or greater), or when your load exceeds the capability of the system.
