Whether heated grips can extend your riding season or not depends on who you talk to. Many people think they're great, but others say that good winter gloves work better and can be moved from one bike to another. [[Hippo Hands]], or other handlebar mitts, seem to help the effectiveness of grip heaters by blocking wind. Search the forums under 'heated grips', 'Hot Grips', or 'grip heaters' for opinions.

Many people think they're great, but others say that good winter gloves work better and can be moved from one bike to another. For more effectiveness, [[Hippo Hands]] and other handlebar mitts can help the heaters by blocking the wind. Covering your gloves with a windproof layer (Aerostich's [http://www.aerostich.com/aerostich-triple-digit-rain-covers.html Triple Digit Rain Covers], for example) will also help keep your fingers working on cold days.
