“The craftsmanship of these gloves are excellent. The quality of the materials are spot on and something you would expect at this price point. The fit and feel are perfect. They feel so comfortable that on some days I where them without the heating on and I even leave the batteries in! The gloves are effective at cutting out the cold once switched on. I normally use them at medium or high settings. Don’t bother with low, they don’t do a great deal. The boost button I use on the extremely cold days (just remember to pack your charger). The charger and cable are designed for heated gloves category so the batteries can’t be recharged with usb or usb c cables. The only issues i have are around the battery. I’m not sure if my pair is defective but there is no indicator when the battery is low on charge. It stays constantly at 1 green bar of energy on both gloves. The other issue is recharging. There is no indicator on the charger or the battery pack to tell you when the battery is fully recharged so very easy to overcharge. At this price point these are issues you don’t expect to encounter. Great gloves still and I would recommend them to anyone. Quick delivery from Urban Rider. Perfect service on that front.”

“Excellent quality winter glove. The warmth level is very good on 2nd and 3rd setting. Couldn't feel anything on level 1. Not too thick and gives lots of feel to controls. Sturdy grips.”

“Sizing: I have a 9.25” hand so usually large but following UR suggestion I sized up to X-LARGE, correct decision. The gloves are a good fit. It’s November but a mild wet November so I have tested the waterproofing and mildest heat setting, great results. So why only 4 stars, I think there should be a visor wipe on the either the left forefinger or left thumb. If they had that I think they d be a great three season glove.”

“Really good, very toasty. Yet to test the waterproof level but the heating function is great. Fit just about true to size but I took the medium when normally I'm somewhere just between small and medium, so the size up advice is sound.”

“Really love them, better than any heated gloves I’ve had, my only complaint is they should’ve made the cuff wider to go over winter jackets. And Racer please add Charing adapters for US market.”

“Haven't had a chance to use the gloves yet. But they appear to be well made, love the real leather. They are the same size/bulkiness of my regular winter gloves that aren't heated. Used the size chart and they fit great.”

“I live in Montreal, Canada, and purchased those gloves at the start of the winter. I have used them casually in "extrem" winter temperatures ranging from -3 to -28 celcius. I haven't rode with them yet, as we aren't allowed to ride bikes (at least without snow tires) in Quebec during the winter. They feel very comfy, and their heating power is great. After many canadian winters feeling cold because my casual city gloves wouldn't protect me enough from the temperatures, those heated gloves solved the issue : from 0 to -7, they're almost "too hot" at the max heat setting. Below -7 to the -20s, I can't really feel their heat anymore, but I can clearly tell that thanks to their heated power, I can still feel my fingers, being a bit cold yes, but definitely feel them. As mentioned above in the review, I haven't rode with them yet. But I sincerely think they'll proove useful after I could test them in such "extrem" winter temperatures. Note : I'm only giving 4 stars, as at first (and maybe this is just down to the way my body feels and reacts to heat) the left glove seemed like it was not heating much, if at all, even though on the max setting. After a couple of days, it seemed to me that it finally "caught up" with the right one and delivered its full potential. To sum up : those are great heated gloves, comfy, with a slick design, that will last you around 3 hours when at the max heat setting. Plus, they're the result of a collaboration between the english folks at Urban Rider and the frenchies at Racer, which, as a french dude, was definitely a plus for me. Who thought England and France could team up? ;)”
