, the ones that make wind blast bearable are too thick in the palms to permit the heated grips to work.
This may be a little off topic, but all the bravado aside for riding in cold weather, electric gear is great for your comfort in cold weather riding. Being comfortable when you ride is very important to alertness and to reducing fatigue.
What is more important is the temperature of your tires. When tires reach their glass point, traction is lost. Also the closer you get to their glass point, the less traction is available. Motorcycle tire compounds have a glass point somewhere between 20 and 30 degrees F (-7 to -1 degrees C ). Once the temp goes below 32 F (0 C), I park it. Not to say I haven't ridden when air temps were much lower, but with ignorance and luck I got by.
Conversely, Motorcycle tires have their maximum adhesion at about 212 F or 100 C core temp. So you can imagine that as you approach freezing or get to sub freezing the amount of traction loss.
Ahhh the winter.
This setup is good enough for snowy days.
