Heated Debate: Battery-powered versus Plug-in Heated Gloves [and a Harley M8 tech tip]

If you live anywhere that has 3, let alone 4 full seasons of weather, you’ve encountered it: the cold.  If you’re a motorcycle rider, that cold either means the end of a riding season, or the beginning of bundling up.  When reaching for the layers, do you have heated gear?  Do you get battery-powered or plug-in gear?

In this video, I’ll explain why I chose plug-in gloves, and what the pros and cons of each are … while riding my Harley Street Glide and wearing my First Gear plug-in heated gloves!  See them in action and hear how they work, from a rider who wears them all winter long!

I also show you a tech tip if you’re riding a late-model Harley Touring Bike (M8-powered Street Glide, Road Glide, Limited, etc.)

I couldn’t find the FirstGear heated gloves I wear, but if you want to buy a pair of plug-in heated gloves, I recommend Gerbing (they’re known for their quality).  Click here (Amazon Affiliate Link) to purchase a pair of your own.

Enjoy!

  1. I highly recommend the California Heat brand of heated clothing. Lifetime warranty on your heating elements and plugs. Better than any other brand, including gerbing. It’s the finewire technology, not carbon fiber. There are no buttons to go bad. A separate temperature controller assures you that if the controller goes bad, you’re only replacing that, and not your gloves or jacket. (CH has a 2 yr warranty on controllers)
