GERBING'S
T5 Heated Gloves
Gerbing's T5 Heated Gloves are a
refinement of the previous heated gloves
known as Gerbing's Classic Heated
Gloves. The T5's are an updated
and
improved version
utilizing the high tech,
Microwire®
heating technology which
supplies
the heat more rapidly then the
previous Classic's. Another
improvement is the use of the Hypora®
waterproof breathable Membrane. The
insulation has been updated with
Thinsulate® improving both dexterity
and warmth.
For more than three years I have been
using the Gerbing's Classic Heated
Gloves and they still look and
feel new
and are
working perfectly.
While
my review is based on my use of
Gerbing's Classic Heated Gloves, you
should feel confident that it will also
apply to the T5 gloves because Gerbing's
took all their heating technology expertise
while designing the T5's and applied
it to
the new design,
using the newest
materials
to come up with a superior
glove.
Who says perfection can't be
improved?
(The following review was written,
based
on my use
of Gerbing's Heated Gloves,
now
know as Gerbing's 'Classic' Gloves.
The Classic gloves are discontinued
and have been replaced with the T5.
The photo above and the links below
refer to Gerbing's newest insulated
heated gloves, the T5.)
Gerbing's Heated Gloves are the gloves
of choice when it comes to keeping your
hands warm when the chill overpowers
your best non-electric gloves.
Your
fingers will
stay warm and nimble so you
can
control your bike without the fatigue
and slower response when squeezing the
brake and clutch levers with cold and
numbing fingers.
These gloves have worked well, held up
and stayed flawless for more than three
years of use and remain the best defense
against numb fingers. If I can
keep my
hands warm,
the rest of my body seems
to
follow suit. At times I have ridden
without turning on the heat because the
design and insulation are very effective
at blocking cold air. Once you do begin
to feel the cold just turn on the heat.
In the fall, winter and spring
you will find
these
gloves indispensable!
