RST Pro Series Paragon 6 Heated CE Gloves - Black

I bought these as I realised just how old (12 years) my exsting unheated gloves have become and I thought I'd have time to break in new ones before it gets really cold.
Good bits: there is a light on the batteries which goes from red to green when you charge the so you know when its done. The batteries fit under the wrist not over and you don't notice them once the gloves are on. The gloves are quite warm even without the heating. They are comfortable and pliable right out of the box, no need to break them in. The buttons are accessibly so although I'd switch them on before setting off changing the heat level onthe move is certainly possible. They fit over the cuffs of my jacket as I prefer.
Less good. Nothing so far Obviously it hasn't been really cold yet so I can't comment on them in freezing conditions and likewise I've not worn them in the rain yet due to lack of rain (!?).

I've always had a great service from SBS and this was no different. I ordered a number of items for trying before I buy from the Milton Keynes shop and it all worked as it should, great. The gloves themselves are bought after plenty of research and when they were reduced by £20.00 I jumped in, I had been watching the price all year with a view to buying before winter. I have not used the gloves yet and my first initial thoughts are I feel a pinch point on the thumb from the stitching and I hope this wears in. I will be annoyed at myself if I took 10 months to choose a poor "value for money " glove. Hope this review helps.

First time owning heated. It is only Autumn so they have not been tested in the depths of winter, but they have been tested in the Scottish rain. I am pleased to say they stayed dry on the inside even through a full day of wet riding.
The 3 heat settings are good. I have only really used the low and sometimes medium setting. It is not cold enough outside yet for the high setting.
The only downside is the battery life. It may be worth carrying a spare set if they are available to purchase. It would be nice if the gloves had the ability to run from internal battery or wired supply. Why do we always have to choose between? I like the convenience of being able to operate wire free, and able to jump between bikes, but it would be nice to have the option to connect them.

Time will tell how they perform over the winter but so far paired with the heated grips on my Tiger, game changer.

So warm, even on lowest heat setting, very comfortable fit, traveling from East Yorkshire for a weekend touring the Lake District, best purchase think I’ve made for quite awhile.. definitely ticked all the boxes for me ..

These are well made fit well (XL) But be careful when pulling the draw string, both plastic fasteners pulled off. My main reason for only giving 3 stars is they just don't get hot enough. My old RST heated gloves were only ever on heat 1. I used my new gloves and outside temp was 2 degrees and on setpoint 1 my hands were cold. on 2 ok but not brilliant.

Absolute game changer for year round commuting, probably the only RST item I've ever bought that's actually waterproof.

Gloves fit and work perfectly. Bulky but nice and warm. Quality manufacture. After sales service was amazing after a problem with one battery was instantly actioned and a replacement despatched within 24 hours of contact.

The gloves fit well and are comfortable to wear giving enough dexterity to still be able to use the bike controls and levers. I have only used the lowest setting so far and found that this is comfortable heating up my hands and the battery lasts around 3hrs on this setting. I did have an issue with one battery not charging properly and sportsbikeshop replaced this straight away without any fuss.

Gloves are really comfortable and warm and each has its own battery which I personally prefer rather than having wires running up my arms and down my body.
On minimum setting they last around 2 hours which is enough to get to work and back home.

They keep you hand snug dry and warm , but do purchase other batteries to extend the range , one of my original better stopped working so spares are advisable

I love these gloves, they work really well .. when they are working. Thinking I may be unlucky.

So lets start with the good. They are quick to heat up, really easy to charge and have 3 settings. I ride all year round and have tested these in the deepest of winter months and my hands were warm enough to function well. Battery last a fair while, I usually have them in the lowest setting which is warm enough even down to -2. They are really comfortable and easy to use. For that reason I would rate them highly.

Now for the bad. I have had them since January. They have needed to go back twice. Once for a battery that was faulty and the other was for an other issue. However SBS and RST both sorted the issues quickly and without any fuss at all. They ended up giving me a new set of gloves under warranty. Will not be able to properly test these until later in the year but hoping I will not be as unlucky!

If you get a decent set, I would highly recommend these gloves. From a lot of the reading I have done online no one seems to have had many issues so think I may have had a duff set.

Really like these gloves. Even without the heating on they are pretty warm and waterproof. I upgraded the batteries to slightly bigger capacity (Amazon) and never looked back. Just to note. These heat up the outside of the gloves not the inside so work really well when paired with heated grips

Comfortable to wear excellent performance good battery life up to 4 hours on warm setting.
I have purchased a lithium power pack to top up gloves on longer rides when using higher power in my mind excellent product

Quality of glove is good. The heating is abysmal and much below around 9 degrees is totally inadequate. The thumbs in particular are not heated well. Maybe for people who have naturally very warm hands the heating is sufficient but for me, they were a complete waste of money. I should have inserted the batteries and tried them first before using them as no refunds are allowed once used. Fit is true to sizing. Nothing else positive to say about them
