Do Tour Master’s Synergy Pro-Plus 12V Heated Gloves Finally Solve Numb Fingers?

I know firsthand the pain of losing feeling in your fingers after just minutes in frigid temps. So when Tour Master claimed their new Synergy heated motorcycle gloves could save riders from frostbite down to 0°F, I had to take them for a real-world test.

Could these rechargeable 12V motorcycle gloves truly insulate paws across brutal landscapes for under $200?

But, the main question I will answer in this review will be: Are these the best motorcycle gloves for winter for you? Let’s find out!

Tour Master Synergy Pro-Plus 12V Heated Gloves – Final Verdict

After putting them through their paces, I can firmly endorse the Tour Master Synergy heated motorcycle gloves (1) for cold-weather motorcyclists looking for ultimate warmth above all else without breaking the bank. They prioritize insulation and comfort over protection or technology.

While heavier options like those from Gerbing provide more adjustability and safety, they also cost a small fortune.

For those logging serious winter mileage on touring bikes or adventure bikes, the Synergy Pros hit a sweet spot, blending reasonable cost with effective heating and quality construction.

They live up to expectations overall, but areas for improvement include adding battery level indicators, touchscreen pads on the fingers, larger wrist Velcro straps, and extra armor for the fingers/knuckles.

Nonetheless, for riding down to 0°F, they deliver reliable warmth and comfort at a palatable price point. Just don’t expect heavy protection in a crash.

For three-season riding where temps rarely drop below freezing, a good non-heated glove with more coverage better fits the bill.

Comparison to Similar Winter Gloves

Merlin Minworth Heated GlovesLong battery life, water-resistant Hypora liner, conductive thread touchscreen fingertips
Klim Inversion Insulated GlovesPrimaLoft insulation, pre-curved design, reinforced palm

The Tour Master Synergy gloves differentiate themselves with the 12V charging directly from a motorcycle’s electrical system for unlimited runtime. This makes them ideal for cold weather touring where battery life can be limited on battery-powered gloves.

The Revit Liberty heated gloves offer useful features like multiple heat settings and premium construction but depend on periodic charging rather than continuous power from a bike.

The Merlin Minworth gloves provide touchscreen fingertips that the Tour Master gloves lack. However, the Synergy 12V system offers more flexibility for all-day winter rides versus limited onboard battery capacity.
