Heated riding gear. I’ve always considered it about as sexy as bowel cancer screening, and very much the domain of beardy old guys wearing brown oilskin jackets. In freezing weather I reckon the average Aussie rider can almost see the point, but never gets past the nasty idea of being wired to the bike and having to unplug every time he (or she) has to pull over for a break.
Of course all this can change following that one ride you never forget. The one where it rains liquid ice and doesn’t stop. There’s an icy trickle down your bum crack five minutes after you hit the road. At the half-hour mark you start shivering uncontrollably. And when you pull over, you realise that you can’t even take the key out to unlock the tank and refuel, because you simply can’t feel your hands any more. Which brings me conveniently to the point of Five’s heated gloves. Keeping your mitts warm should be easy. Five have addressed all the traditional gripes about heated gloves, making them simple, effective and attractive. Sexy, even. But we’ll get to the sexy bit in a moment.

The backstory in briefFive have made a name for themselves in premium quality motorcycle gloves. That’s a good starting point. Look around and you’ll find some battery-powered heated gloves on sale, but you can’t help but feeling that many are sold as motorcycle gloves in some markets, maybe ski gloves in others. Five’s gloves are built for bikers, make no mistake. Double stitching, reinforcing, knuckle armour, scaphoid protection – these gloves look the part, are tough where it counts and built with brand name insulation and waterproofing materials, too.
HG1, HG3 – two pairs of FivesBikebiz sent along two pairs of Five heated gloves – their HG1 model as well as a pair of HG3’s. The HG1 is Five’s top-end heated glove, promoted as the choice for long-distance rides. The HG3 is positioned more as an everyday commuter choice. The heating component is the same for both. Of the two, the HG1 has a good serve of leather, armour and reinforcing in its outer shell, looking much like a sport or race glove. The HG3 has an outer shell comprising polyester and nylon, the palm being synthetic leather. Both are gauntlet-style gloves, offering a good weather seal over jacket wrists.
