That’s why I was eager to test out the Joe Rocket Burner heated motorcycle gloves when they first hit the market a couple of years back. Initial impressions were fantastic, but how have they held up after extensive real-world use?
But, the main question I will answer in this review will be: Are these the best motorcycle gloves for winter for you? Read on for my long-term review.

Joe Rocket Rocket Burner Lite Heated Gloves – Final Verdict
Given the complete lack of material wear or electrical problems after 24 months of use, I’m awarding the Joe Rocket Burner gloves (1) a near-perfect rating of 9/10. They’ve exceeded my expectations in every meaningful durability metric.
The only downsides are the bulky wrist-mounted battery housings and lack of USB charging. But those are minor nitpicks for what have proven to be incredibly well-designed heated motorcycle gloves.
For riders seeking versatile cold-weather hand protection, I continue to fully recommend these Burner gloves from Joe Rocket. The quality is truly second to none.
