For cold weather I wear a Milwaukee heated sweatshirt under my leather. it is much cheaper than getting a heated leather. Plus I can wear it under any of my jackets plus it gives me the ability to take off layers.. It takes the standard Milwaukee 12v batteries so replacements should be easy to find when the time comes.

Lastly, since its 12v I'm going to add a barrel connector to the bike's electrical use,so I can run it off bike when I'm riding. I'm probably going to hook it up to the battery tender plug so the cable so I can store it in my bag when it is not in use.
