    So, it looks like heated gloves and hand guards provide the best solution ...... Richard

    I keep looking at heated gloves but the more I look the more I'm undecided - glove liners, battery powered ones (eg RST Thermotech) or ones wired into the bike.

    I wish a few of the heated gloves actually had decent armour too, they often seem to just be plain thick leather.

    Trouble is its a lot to spend if they dont work very well.

    I have Gerbin ones and ridden for 5 years QB1 all winter 75 miles each way for 4 yrs working at Hondas HQ. They are perfect. Actually I went out Sunday for a day in Oxfordshire and used them on half heat 10 - 12 c outside. They are plugged into my ciggy lighter and you soon get pretty quick puting the loom on. When I put my jacket on I hold each glove wire in my hands and that automatically threads them. The later models are better armoured too.
    Counting down until my next ride out!

    Being to comfortable in heated gloves can make your risk of an accident higher!. I forgot how icy it was a few winters ago, and as I went through Bushton I did a beautiful long slide on the ice and scared the **** out of the Landrover driver following. I stopped to comprehend what I just did and check if there were any skid marks (in my undies not the tarmac), he stopped too and wound down his window he was white as a sheet.... he swore bit....something like **** ME MATE ARE YOU OK !!! and told me what the temperature was -6 and that the crossroads was a sheet of ice. Carried on to Slough but took the main road through Lynham until it thawed out again !!!

    Pure Silk gloves are the best thermal inner gloves. Don't need to be motorcycle specific, just pure silk. Also make sure your winter gloves are not too tight or they will conduct heat away.
