Plus, considering that manual dexterity of both the left and right hand are vital to braking and working the clutch, it's not just a measure of how tough you are or where your pain threshold starts and ends—having the right heated gloves can make the difference between life and death when it comes to pushing into the off-season weather.

Compared to its little sibling the short-cuff Hero glove, this model gets the added coverage and protection of a full gauntlet, plus some abrasion resistant Super-Fabric-like material at the palm and on the outside of the pinky digit. A premium Aniline cowhide leather construction with knuckle protection, Aquatex breathable waterproof liner, 150g of Thinsulate insulation and a slim Velcro cuff keeps your hands uber warm and dry yet retains a sporty appearance that tucks neatly under (or over) your jacket cuff.

You'll want to pick up a temperature controller to manage power output. We highly recommend going with a dual-zone setup so you can control jacket and gloves separately. If you're buying the gloves on their own you'll need a wiring harness for your battery, and a Y-cable to connect the gloves. But if you get a 12-volt jacket liner, the wiring harness is included and the jacket comes with pre-wired sleeves for no-hassle glove compatibility.
