Heated glove burns

On high, I smell BBQ!

I like BBQ!

Was at Cycle Gear today, but forgot to bring gloves (was picking up front stand, so had to drive the cage to get there). Talked to the guy.. he said older models had many reports of burns. He said to bring gloves in and he'll exchange them for new ones.

I'll let you all know if they new ones are any better.

Wow! You are much more patient than me. That really looks painful.

I wish my First Gear heated gloves would work so well. I always use the highest setting on the controller and kinda wish they would heat up still more...but not too much as yours! My best advice: move to SoCal

Send mike at WnS an email and explain the situation, tell him you'd like to exchange the gloves for a 10ohm pair. Those are about 30% warmer.

The Sedici \ cycle gear brand are made by Venture heat, they are cheap, flimsy garments. Stay away from them.

I've used every brand out there, stick with either WnS or Gerbings or my favorite EXO2.

BTW ALL heated gloves are made in the very same factory, they are just told what materials to use and how many stiches per inch, e.t.c. The cheap ones are made cheaply because they are told to use the cheapest materials and quickest stitching method (to make more per hour)

My experience with First Gear Heated Gloves, they only warm on the upper portion of the fingers. Unless you combine them with heated grips, it will not keep your hands very warm. I have mittens currently installed over my controls, so it helps shields the wind, so I have discovered a combination that works.

But as far as the quality, mine ripped the very fist time I tried to strap my cover over the Velcro for my gloves. I guess I'm too use to being much more aggressive on my Motoport Kevlar Gloves. Cycle Gear exchanged them immediately but I am much more careful whenever I put them on. And I have zero faith in these glove as far as protection in the event of a crash, but at this point in time, it's not about the abrasion strength, it's about providing heat. Down into the single digits for my morning commutes these days in boring Idaho.

+1 on that...
