nothing will work like a set of doo gauntlets .cold guards are ok ,i'ts the wind and snow dust from the sled in front of you most times that's the problem .the doo gauntlets make a new enviorment for your hands :wink_old: .

 

I have three sets of heated gloves my wife and two daughters all have small hands. They're all from Cabela's and they are made by Gerbing's. They usually go on sale on Black Friday for about half price. It changes every year last year I think they drop just 100 off. We've had them for at least three years and they are fantastic.

gerbings are truly worth the money. I had a hard time buying them the first time. Now I have 3 pair. Kept me in the sport.

 

Great, thanks guys! We don't have a Cabela's anywhere near us in NNY, so I may have to watch for Black Friday or Cyber Monday for a deal. If you guys swear by it and how long they last, I'm in. Just that I need XS lol.

As for Doo Gauntlets, if it gets to that point, I'll do it.

Thanks again!

 

Can't speak for small hands, but I can vouch Gerbings are nice. I tend to end up riding 200 mile days and may be on the trail for 12 hours or better, so I run their 12V T5 gloves so I can wire them to a controller on the sled and have unlimited heat. Small battery gloves would never last long enough for me so this is my preference. Obviously expense is higher due to the need for controller on the sled, and there's an extra wire to plug in when I plug my heated shield in...but it works and I love them.

I did have a warranty failure...a wire broke within the glove. Loophole in their "lifetime warranty" did not pay for the repair...but for $50 including shipping their factory fixed them and all is well again. So I felt pretty misled on their warranty, but it is what it is. Until someone offers a better product I'd still be willing to buy them again.

 

Women do much better with THIN gloves, and heaters turned up....with BRP muffs. anything else, they will be cold trust me. Gloves are the last thing needed when you got good heaters and completely enclosed muffs.

$50 muffs and a lite pair of gloves and she is toasty warm . Warm = no complaining

 

Fly racing makes a heated glove but I don't know if they make an XS.

 

thin grip gloves, they are tighter fit and you feel your grips. But you gotta combo them with BRP enclosed muffs.

Cold gaurds wont cut it when it gets below 10f IMO with the thin grip gloves if your prone to cold fingers.

 

not reliable, go with wired in motorcycle heated gloves. I tried 3 sets of battery gloves and it is not good when they fail on the trail and they will when you really need them.

 

My hands are cold when its 90 out. Come winter, my hands don't leave my pockets. When riding I use a thin FXR glove with my guantlets. I rarely even have to turn on my grip heaters. Gauntlets are the best solution hands down, no pun intended.

 

I have the small Gerbings for my wife and they are still too big! you will have the same problem. She uses them in the car to go to work and the couple times shes on a sled but wishes they were much smaller.

Loves them though regardless well worth the money I also have a pair I keep in my backpack in case I get my regular gloves wet or it gets REALLY cold

 

No matter the glove, heated or not, if you wife is a cold person. She will have difficulty keeping her extremities warm.

Best gloves, heated. Mitts, wind deflectors, and gauntlets.

Most important.... keep the core warm. The body naturally keeps the core and the head harm. Extremities are secondary.

Good under layer, keep the hands attached to the sleeve. No bare wrists.

 

Add a heated seat. Warms the core and that helps keep extremities warm......

Im going with the $50 muffs and a lighter pair of gloves and see what we get.

Stever, my wife sounds exactly like yours. Always freezing and can't keep herself warm. I'm just happy she enjoys going out riding.

My wife was always cold on the colder days so we also added a heated seat to her new blizzard along with the brp muffs. I think she will be very happy with this setup.

 

I'm a very small rider. I have tried several brands of heated gloves and find them all too stiff to ride. I lose throttle thumb dexterity with thick or wired gloves, so they don't work for me. When I ride, I wear leather ski gloves brand Swanay and love them. When it's cold I use my ski-doo muffs, and adjust handlebar heat as needed. I did an 8 day saddlebag tour last winter all days were -30C plus wind. Everything was cold, but my hands were ok!
Good Luck!
