Don't buy heated grips - they're not the answer to keeping your hands warm!

At low temperatures the body shuts down extremities to keep it's "core" alive - who needs limbs anyway? Thus to keep your hands and feet warm you are better off keeping your body warm.

Go for a heated bodywarmer instead and you'll find that your arms and feet stay warm too. All you need is a plug under the seat and you can use it when you want. It also means no unsightly grips on your bike through the summer months, and they're cheaper and less hassle to fit too.
