Heated gloves

[snomoman]

I was thumbing through a catalog that had electric gloves that you could plug into your 12 volt system on your snowmobile. Has anyone had any luck with these? Curious to know if they are worth the money. There is nothing more miserable than out in the cold with fingers that just won't get warmed up. Years ago I would open the hood and quickly touch the exhaust pipe to warm them up. Not the case with the newer sled these days.
Thanks

As some have pointed out, its all about wind deflection. I have those big ugly Powermadd Gauntlets that I pull out for the -10 and colder days, and as John pointed out, they do a heck of a job zooming down the trails. They Velcro on quickly and come off just as easily.

try gerbing's, they're 12V. I have a 12V jack on the handlebar that gloves plug into. the plug in jack has a on-off switch.

HA - Last year on a trip leaving at 7:30am, there were a couple thongers, and we stopped 5 miles into the trip as one was waving his hands, and we didn't know what the deal was. Yup, all buy crying like a baby with the wind pummeling him behind that nothing of a windshield. At the first 'pit' stop, he vowed to have a grandpa windshield for the next trip. Said it was the best upgrade he ever made to a snowmobile.

I have been using Volt Heated Gloves fro three seasons now and they work great. Use the lowest setting and whole hand and finger tips stay warm. Lowest setting last about 8 hours. Gloves are even warm without any heat and not bulky either and water proof. The glove that I wear is the Volt Maxima 7v.

I'm a big believer in gauntlets for the really cold days. Mittens work well also, but you have less control with your hands.

I use First Gear glove liners. They have the heater elements that go around your finger tips which is right where I need the heat. I bought the controller that allows you to vary the heat vs preset heat settings or just on. Purchased them through Dennis Kirk. Worth the money and not like the heated gloves that you spend big $s on and then throw them away when they don’t work or the leather wears out. Just buy a new set of liners for a fraction of the cost. Just need a rca plug to power them.

I have a pair of gloves, from Menards actually, that has the thumb and index finger in their own sleeve but the other three fingers are together. They give you good grip and really help keep your hands warm on the colder days. I really like to wear thinner gloves off trail for better grip but these work great for running trails and the grade.

https://voltheat.com I've got the Glove liners. I haven't tried them while sledding but they worked great for hunting with a leather mitten over them.
