Best thing since sliced bread!

[MarkCR750]

RST battery powered heated gloves, I got mine on eBay for £99 last pair but no doubt they'll get more, 2hours at full power, 4hour at medium, longer at min , nothing to wire in , no more cold fingers on that fresh winter morning ride, what's not to like, I'm out with them now, on min setting, they are very warm, it's 12 degrees ambient not exactly cold but after 20 miles my fingers are warm, they would've been cool by now .

Great aren't they.  Wish I had them when I was despatch riding years ago.

Heated gloves, what is the world coming too ? I was a long distance dispatch rider for many years, in all weather. One pair under the tank (nicely heated by the engine) and change them over every hour.

I bet they were FREE issue gloves

Ha!

My last Arai went through the company as "Personal Protective Equipment"

... as did my Draggin jeans

I'm out with them now

I'm impressed that you can still type with them on!

They do sound good though, I remember coming back from the Dragon Rally with numb blue fingers, though Triumph twin vibration may have had something to do with it. We used to abuse the hand driers at service stations by putting our gloves over the nozzle, or putting them in the space above the gearbox, behind the barrels when we stopped for the inevitable ciggy break.

I wonder what the 'best thing since' was before sliced bread was invented.

Sliced bread 1928 so my vote is for the rubber condom in 1855  ... can I get some work done now

 I can't imagine Victorian people saying to each other, in polite company - "I say old chap, that's the best thing since the rubber condom"

Do you remember the ad with the old boy and 'Geronimo'?

Oh I do love the Friday afternoon banter, are any of us doing any work?

[SteveD CB500K0]

Nope.
