Heated grips or heated gloves?

[Lou]

So which one is best as I think I need something. And how hard is it to fit either? Thank you for your help

Grips are great but they only warm the insides of your hands
Gloves keep all of them warm

+1 grips are pretty easy to fit and they have kept my hands bearable last winter, the main wiring is still in place so all i have to do is plug them in and we are away again, also the grips tend to be a bit on the chunky side, gloves could be the better all round option

As above, heated grips are great and very convenient. I still find on really cold days that the outside of my fingers remain cold so I bought heated gloves which connect up to my heated jacket liner. It takes an extra 30 seconds or so to plug them in but once done my fingers are nice and toasty. Alternatives are heated glove liners which fit inside normal gloves and these as well as gloves can have battery power (approx 3 hours charge) or powered direct to your battery.

If you get gloves or liners they need to be a snug fit for the best heat transfer.

I used to have heated grips but haven't bothered on any of my other bikes - they didn't keep my fingertips from going numb

Surely that would reduce the clutch control somewhat? ;D

I have both but if I had to only have one I would go for the gloves. The grips are aright on their own in cool summer evenings but in winter the only part they warm up is the palm and when your changing gear or braking you open palm off the grip so gets instantly cold.
Gloves also seem to warm up my arms slightly so gloves first for me.
