So...
What about non-heated gloves for riding in 20-40 degree temps? I see a lot about gloves for mid 30's and up... are heated gloves the only options at colder temps?
I may be an odd one here, but the first thing that gets cold on me is my hands. So non heated gloves that other folks are swearing keep them warm into the low 30's stop working on me up in the high 40's. My Rev'it Tempest H2Os are phase change insulated plus the exkin insulation, behind a hydratex liner, and my hands are crippled below 45, and that's with wool glove liners on. My effective range for them is the upper 40's to the mid 60's. I use my Gerbings T5s from the mid 50's all the way down. The way I figure it, my T5s cost less than any winter riding glove I've purchased in recent memory, plus I have better dexterity with them than with most non electric winter gloves, so why wouldn't I use them?
When I hopped on the bike yesterday morning, it was 26 degrees. I didn't even have them at 50% and I was comfortable, with the heated grips on the lowest setting. You couldn't pay me to ride in those temps in a non electric glove. I take that back; I have my Marmot gore-tex mountaineering gloves, but those are enormous, and I could never use the turnsignal switch.
