Heat Grips vs Gaurds vs Hippo Hands

[Gas Man]

Yeah that's what I thought on the hand gaurds. I told him I knew exactly who to ask.

He's got real nice big gaunlet gloves... but says in the morning his hands still get numb. He didn't believe that the heat grips would keep his hands warm. He tells me "it's the backside of my hands that is cold, not my palm." I told I know but they work that out.

With hippo hands and heated gloves, I have yet to encounter weather that has made my hands cold. My feet are the new weakness. I need new boots for winter.

Ok with the heated gloves are they heated all around?

I had the thin ones that wrap under your grips. Not bad, but yeah, you definitely need something to keep the wind of the back of your hands when it gets real cold. Hippo Hands look like the way to go.

Having trouble figuring out their sizing though...

Yeh I like those, used them on my last bike and loved them, I also have a set of thick winter gloves, my biggest problem with that combo was wind seepage where I would get a small jet of wind get sucked into the glove and down my hand.
