Being a Motorcycle Instructor for the past 12 years has seen me, and my pupils, riding in all weathers including the depths of winter.
Oxford Heated Grips are not a luxury if you ride your bike all year round. They are a must have. Even with a good pair of winter motorcycling gloves the wind chill does its worst and hands can get seriously cold. Hands can then become painful and this in turn will affect the riders concentration which could prove dangerous.
So I find one of the best combinations is Oxford Heated Grips along with a pair of waterproof medium weight motorcycle gloves such as the Weise Tahko Waterproof gloves. I recommend medium weight gloves as the thicker heavyweight glove does not allow the heat from the heated grip to find its way to your hands, basically acting as a barrier. Also waterproof gloves are of great benefit as, even if it’s not raining when you set out on your journey, this type of glove will have a membrane which prevents a massive amount of wind chill.
Oxford Heated Grips are available for the Sports, Touring, Adventure, Commuter and Scooter riders starting from only £39.99. They also come with heat setting choices so you can turn them up or down to suit your needs making toasty hands happy hands.
Over the years I have also found them to be excellent value for money and very robust lasting for many seasons despite the fact I have given them some hammer!
See you on the road.
