RST Pro Series Paragon 6 Heated CE Gloves - Black

Fitted true to size and fairly supple out of the box but still wearing them in. Good quality warm gloves even without the heat on. Haven't needed to use the hottest setting yet as one step down does the job when the temp is down into low single figures. Batteries reasonably unobtrusive. Visor wipe blades on both gloves really useful.

A good pair of gloves that don’t feel too bulky and keep the chill off

So I've only used this last Winter season and started to use it again this Winter, only for one of the batteries to fail after 3 charges. There's a good reason the battery warranty is only a year, because these batteries are not designed to last for more than one season of use. I don't even ride much during Winter so these batteries have not seen more than a couple weeks of continous usage.

After a bit of back and forth with SBS support, they agreed to send out a replacement battery as Consumer Rights Act define this as not a reasonable length of time for a product to last. Kudos to SBS, but really it should be down to the manufacturer to accomodate this by law. But this issue doesn't just affect RST, it affects all the heated glove manufacturers as some have even less warranty periods for their batteries.

For a £200 product, I shouldn't be expected to shell out another £50 every year to replace the awful batteries, especially after such limited use. I would recommend getting gloves that are powered from the bikes battery like Keis, and only use batteries for shorter rides. That way you're not left heating one hand and getting frostbite in the other...

I have left 2 stars because these are only powered by batteries, and without functioning batteries these do no good in 0 degree temperatures or less. Also, the drawstring on one of the gloves snapped off after tightening.

Warm up great 3 setting -3 outside when I ride home in evenings at the moment hands no longer cold get home comfortable and warm

After suffering cold fingers for years in the cooler months these have extended my riding season, oh and as they say? they fit like a glove, a loverly warm one at that.

Great gloves with 3 heat settings. Well worth the money. First pair sent had a faulty battery, so returned and replaced. Sportsbikeshop did this with no fuss and quickly.

Great fit,

Although there's many heated gloves on the market, the RST's were highly recommended by users and I haven't been disappointed.

My first pair of heated gloves so wasn’t sure what to expect. These for me have been superb.
Sizing is spot on, I find RST sizing very consistent across the range.

As a standalone glove switched off, they provide adequate warmth. I have only really needed to use the heating at the start of a ride for 10-15mins or to boost warmth on motorway sections of a ride on the coldest days (sub 8c).

I was using solely, without heated grips on my previous bike and they provided sufficient heat to keep my hands comfortably warm on the daily commute.

On all but the very coldest days, I haven’t needed them on anything higher than the medium setting. Regularly riding in 3-4c temps early morning for 20-30mins.
I personally find the highest setting too warm although when the temps drop to -0 the bike stays home and I take the car.

I think the claimed durations are very optimistic. On medium over multiple days I believe the best I have achieved is 3.5-4 hours of use.
I do now charge before every use so I haven’t had any issue with them running out and the daily commutes or longer 2-3 hour weekend ride outs.

Now that I have heated grips, I rarely need anything other than the lowest setting. The gloves themselves provide a good level of warmth without the heated elements switched on.

As always the sportbikeshop delivery was quick and fuss free. The gloves arrived well packed in their huge box. Charged the battery as the instructions said to do. As with new gloves the fit is a bit snug to begin with but I am sure they will fit well after ba couple of wears on the bike. I think the gloves will work well on an average cold day, but I have my doubts regarding wearing them on a long ride when on full power which would be needed to maintain good warmth for the hands, using on full power does drain the battery quite quickly. I think a good power bank or two would be needed. On the whole the gloves are quite good but think carefully if you are going to wear them for a long ride on a very cold day.

Great fitting gloves, but don't fit under the sleeves of some jackets They heat up really fast but haven't had chance to find out how long the batteries will last. When the battery is fitted the gloves do feel heavy but small price to pay for warm hands. I'll definitely be investing in a second set of batteries for long rides.

Good fit, good allover heat and easy to use

Keeps hands warm. Works well in medium heat setting.

Really amazing gloves for low temperatures. I have few winter gloves and these ones is the best by far, insulation is so good what I don’t even have to turn them on till 3 Celsius. Once the power is on it keeps your hands and fingers nice and toasty even on the lowest temperature. True to size I’m large in all the gloves and these ones fits nice in L.
