The single-setting ‘Hot Hands’ wraps from Oxford have done me well. They add bulk to the grips but they kept the worst of the chill off. My instructor has sworn by his heated gloves for the last year or so.
I may be getting some handlebar muffs, because I have no pride. Or rather, pride is no use when you’re numb.
Apparently the muffs make a significant difference, fit over handguards, and the benefit outweighs the naff-ness. I’ve read that coupled with heated grips it can get too warm, which sounds amazing.
Looking on ebay there are sellers with the 5V USB powered heating elements that can be sewn onto regular clothing. Half tempted to sacrifice a jacket liner to try that. For the sake of a tenner and a little battery pack, it would be a wallet-friendly test.
