and the odd p*ss take here and there:roll:

It's miserable if your hands are cold and it does stop you concentrating properly. I had Oxford heated grips fitted on my first bike. Made a difference on very cold days but I didn't really like the feel of them. Too bulky. I decided not to go down the fitted mittens route because I thought they just look silly. (sorry) :frog:

Has she tried wearing a pair of silk gloves inside a normal winter pair? Also, you can now get those heat pads for inside gloves, can't you? Don't they sell them in camping shops?

Redruth - Tried a lot of that stuff yes. I don't expect the heated grips to feel any different - they just replace the existing grips on the bars. If she went for the over grips then I think they would be bulky yes. I have bought a set of Oxford heated grips now, so I'll let you all know what they're like when I take her bike out for a thrashing....:smug:
