How do Heated Gloves work on a motorcycle?
Most of the time, heated gloves are connected to a heated liner or vest (see above on heated clothing). If this is the case, you don’t need any extra connectors. The gloves are simply connected to the plugs available on each sleeve. However, you can run Heated Gloves separate, without use of a heated vest or liner, by use of a Y-cord and controller. The Y cord is connected to the on/off switch or electronic controller (on/off switch is never recommended but can be used). The Y-cord runs underneath your jacket and through the sleeves to connect the gloves. Large touring and cruiser bikes often have enough electrical power to accommodate full liners, pants, gloves, grips etc. However if your ride is smaller, you may consider going for a vest rather than a full liner. The amp savings are considerable. What is the difference between all the different brands? Some heated clothing is sold under different brand names which makes it all more confusing.
