RST Pro Series Paragon 6 Heated CE Gloves - Black

I wanted a pair of heated gloves for the cold morning rides! Before my hands would hurt from the cold, now they are so toasty. It's an absolute pleasure to ride with warm hands!

These are my 2nd pair as the 1st pair stopped working, after a couple of months. They take a week or two to break in and stretch out. They’re quite bulky . The heating elements are good and keep the all important top of the hands & fingers warm. I use them every weekday commuting and never went above the low setting, when using them with heated grips for the palms. Hands & fingers were proper toasty. Doing a 30 minute commute, each way Mon - Fri the batteries (on the low heat setting) would last the week, just.

Essential winter riding glove. These are my second pair.

Good gloves even if you don't use the heating element of them, the one down side of them is they are a bit fiddly if you want to turn them on whilst you are riding otherwise they are spot on. The fit is good and as expected.

Finally decided to buy myself some new winter gloves and settled on these as they are heated and reduced in a sale. Went out for a long trip recently at temps of approx 3-5'C and found my hands stayed warm. Batteries died after about 4-5 hours on low to middle settings, but by then the temp had risen to about 9'C and the gloves were fine without the heating. Recharging via the included split USB lead, so you can recharge both at the same time off one lead, works well but takes a while. The gloves are quite "thick" when first put on, but seemed to be breaking in nicely by the end of the trip. I have not tried them in the wet.(fair weather rider only!) The little plastic toggle on the wrist part came off, but a little bit of super glue sorted that. Not worth bothering to send them back for such a minor annoyance that's easily fixed. Otherwise, the quality seems very good and overall I am pleased with them. Another good product from Sport Bike Shop, my #1 place for my bike clothing. Always excellent selection and great customer service too. Highly recommended.

The gloves fit well and the heating is superb. The battery charging time is fine and they last for the whole commute to and from work. They are well made and the battery isn't too bulky or heavy when using them. These are well worth the money.

Good quality and price, as usual from RST, perfect fit.

Bought these gloves from the Birmingham store, staff were very helpful.

Pros: good fit and good feeling of controls for a winter gloves quite impress. Drawstring around the cuff keeps the chill out and decent heat with easy controls for the heating elements.

Cons: One of the battery packs failed on the first ride but was replaced straight away by SBS, one of the toggles on the drawstrings came off straight away, just ends up questioning the overall quality.

Overall: Nice pair of gloves that heat well but questionable quality.

OK, everyone is different and what we wear when riding is different. I'm 74 and ride all year round.. Heat wise not bad. Highest setting for a 2 hour ride (naked bikes, RE Classic 350 and BSA Goldstar), slightly disappointed, but, we all experience 'cold' in different ways depending on many factors. Therefore…. Acceptable.
My main concern is that I find the cuff size could be a bigger. diameter I wear Merlin gear over Zerofit base layers with an additional layer of wool jumper (sheep). Nothing heated. I personally found it quite difficult when wearing one glove to pull the other glove cuff over the end of my jacket. The cuff could, in my opinion, be about an inch or so larger in diameter to facilitate this.
Hey ho, nothing in life is perfect!
Ride safe guys and girls!

Toasty even on the lowest set, super comfortable inserts and full tactile feel on the controls. Fully waterproof, best gloves I've bought and not sure I'll need to buy others for winter or wet riding.

I commute as much of the year as possible by bike. Heated grips work to a point but during winter months I still get frozen fingers.
So heated gloves it is. I didn't want to be tethered to the bike. After much research a pair of RST Paragon 6 were ordered.
Battery operated ( batteries included) a reasonable price and allegedly waterproof.
Opening the box I was impressed with the apparent quality of them. Supple and comfortable straight away. Even with batteries fitted. Easy to operate with one touch and very visible confirmation of setting.
Whilst I can't yet vouch for waterproof qualities I can say I am impressed with the temperature the back of your hands achieve. Even at very low air temperatures
I did have some minor niggles trying to get them over my jacket and waterproof over jacket but not much worse than other winter gloves.
Overall impressed and would recommend

Good fit and keep hands toasty even at near 0 temps. Highly recommend for anyone commuting in the winter. Battery is decent too.

The good;
cant fault the heating part, its warm, goes down to each finger and the 3 settings are well spaced hot to warm up, then med or low to maintain. the buttons are easy to use. battery life isn't huge but what do you expect, the batteries are small and conveniently placed not to get in the way too much and 4hrs (claimed, yet to be tested) on the low setting is enough. I don't know about the waterproofing yet.
The bad;
The palms are bulky, (why have such bulky palms on winter gloves? That bit doesn't get cold!) bulky enough to start hurting your hands after 10 mins or so trying to hold the grips. I hope it settles down with time.
The wrist straps and cuff toggles are small and very hard to undo with the bulky gloves on, the wrist straps especially need bigger tabs you can grip.

But all in all I'm happy with them

I've been riding with these gloves for the last 3 weeks in some horrendous weather. It's been between -4C and 5C the whole time, mostly rain with some sleet and few dry days. These gloves have performed VERY well. At -4C I had these on max power for a 40min journey and my hands were not cold when I stopped. They're fully waterproof and comfortable, although I have found that the front of my thumbs can get a bit cold as there is no heating element there and the wind blast is always on it. The backs of the finders, thumb and hand are always toasty warm. Battery life is good (2hrs on max) and true to the claims. The cuffs are quite bulky with the battery in them but they do fit under my Alpinestars Dry-star jacket. I will note however that it's a struggle to get my rain suit over the cuffs so that's something to bear in mind if you rely on a rain suit for protection in the wet weather.
I'd happily buy these again, they're a game changer for someone wanting warm hands but not wanting a hardwired setup on the bike.

I suffer from Raynauds so cold fingers have always been a problem for me. The gloves worked well but I personally needed them set on high to maintain a comfortable hand temperature. Sizing is pretty spot on.
