been the same, just bought a pair of these usually have the RST summer glove with an oxford chill max inner gloves, after a couple of hours stripping the Harley to learn i had the cable heated grips and my Harley is FBW i bit the bullet and grabbed a pair of these the fit is spot on there a little bulky but found the lowest setting was more than enough to keep my finger tips from hurting, decided to come on here and see how others found them, wear an XL in there summer glove and XL in these so anyone ordering online there true to fit
Hi, thanks for watching & your comment. I've been using mine now for a few months & find them great. Can get out on the bike when the temperature would have made it very uncomfortable, if not unbearable, before I had them. Thanks again & ride safe.
Picked up a pair for myself two weeks ago because my RST summer gloves were unbearably cold. These gloves solve the coldness problem entirely even on the lowest level, I just don't like the fact that they give me the dexterity of a toddler with very hit-and-miss touchscreen capabilites haha. Great video!
Hi, Thanks for watching & your comment. I must admit I do like thinner gloves for the feel on the controls they give. If my hands are warmer I reckon I hope I can put up with the lack of dexterity for a few months if it means I can get out on the bike in the colder months, Thanks again & ride safe.
Hi, Thank you for watching & your comment. They are a bit pricey, the £20 off helped to make my mind up though. They're not the dearest on offer by any means. If someone is thinking of buying I hope this helps. Thanks again and ride safe. Paul.
These were on my shortlist because of the price but I went for the Revit Legendary instead, because of has four settings and a higher working temp (30-32c) than the Paragons and is supposed to last 4-6 hours (max - low) Plus the protection is better IMO..but then you are paying more for Revit at around £250.
Hi Mike, thanks for watching & your comment. I hadn't seen the revit legendary when I was looking, the other glove on my radar was the Weise heated glove. They where around the £200 mark but when I tried them on the fingers seemed a bit longer so went for the RST. Good to know how you get on with the revit as they are not that much more money & as you say they seem to have better features. Thanks again & ride safe. Paul.
Hi, thanks for watching. When I plugged mine in for the first time they both showed red & they charged quicker than I expected, but instructions did say they come partially charged. I have had mine & used them for a while now & they have never flashed. They are solid red when charging & go green when charged (takes around hours). Sounds like a faulty connection or battery. Have you tried swapping the lead connectors from one battery to the other, this would indicate whether it is one of the lead connectors at fault, if the same battery flashes then looks like you have a faulty battery. Either way I would defiantly take em back for a replacement. Sorry I can't be of more help. If you get it sorted perhaps you could let me know in case I have an issue down the line. Thanks again & ride safe
@ hey so yeah So it’s definitely the battery, the one that’s solid red, I plugged it in to check if it heats the glove and it’s working fine, but the one that’s flashing red/green it did not turn the gloves on at all so defo a battery issue, so annoying as I had to drive 60 miles round trip to my nearest shop to buy them today 🙄 but oh well hopefully this will help someone in the future 👍🏽
Hey Paul thanks for putting this video together and demonstrating the practicality or not of these gloves. I did own a pair of these Paragon gloves although an early model but i doubt they changed too much. first impression from not having heated gloves before was Great they are nice and warm and that feeling lasted a short while but as the temperatures dropped i started to realise they gave absolutely no heat to the pain in my finger tips and only warmed the back and front of my hands. As an older rider myself the finger tip pain can be a distraction to my concentration so i still found myself reaching for the heat of bikes engine at every set of traffic lights . also i then purchased some Oxford rainseal very Ugly handle bar muffs but still not enough warmth to the finger tips So either the old body is less tolerant to cold or the manufactures need to rethink and develop a better system like Heated Muffs that circulate hot air to the finger tips . I dont particularly enjoy riding a bike through winter But i work in London and a Bike is the cheapest motored commute weapon of choice for my 34 mile trip . The gloves lasted 2 seasons and developed a fault so now with temps currently being minus 2 for my 4,30 am start i am using £10 ebay bar muffs and much more flexible summer gloves with a thermal under glove and still reaching for the Engine heat at every opportunity the Paragon were just to bulky to time consuming and not hitting the spot FOR ME All the best
Hi, Thanks for watching and your comment, You have far more experience of this cold finger issue than me. I will be updating my findings on the Paragon gloves in due course & from what you have said I may well come to the same conclusion. Thank you so much for taking the time to post your findings & ride safe. Regards, Paul.

Great video Paul, bit pricey those electric gloves.
They really do look the part and appear to work perfectly well.
Great video.

Just bought these gloves today and just plugged the batteries in to charge but one battery is flashing green/red any ideas ?
