Yes, those are the carbon fiber elements. Carbon fiber heating is what Phenix uses to rewire gloves. I figure if Ken could do it......but who knows. Hang on to those G3s like you know what!! And in a perfect world, Gordons would still be an option....
It's probably a broken wire that just happened to make a connection. When mine failed on that 25F ride, it had been doing that for awhile. Then...nothing.
Look closely at where the wires go from the jacket sleeve to the male plug.
Yep, either broken wires in the glove or the connector has gone south.
I had wrapped all connector connections with some F4 self-fusing silicone tape (to prevent this exact possibility ! ), so I'll give it an unwrapping and check for cracks or such.
If the wires inside the lining of the glove are broken, you will get cold spots past the breaks.
You mean the wire to the glove inside the jacket quit? I've opened my liner clear up by removing the stitching in the top of the collar. The entire insides of the jacket were then accessible. The wire to my gloves connector is just like lamp cord and should be easily repaired. It runs from the main connector at the left waist over to the wrist.
Yes. The jacket side of the cords is what breaks on mine. I must tuck my excess cord differently than everyone else does. The gloves never quit working.
