I loved the year I was stationed at Ft. Hucachaca, AZ (Sierra Vista).
I even loved the heat, dammit.

Every year it gets cold here and I end up going "I want to go back to Arizona!" a lot).

they have an on/off switch, a single temp controller for dual outputs, and a dual temp controller for dual outputs

i got the "on/off" switch - i don't have to unplug them, just keep turning it all the way on, or off

the problem with the single temp controller for two accessories is you may want your gloves at a higher or lower setting than your jacket - I think the single is about $70 and the dual was $90.... but the on/off was $15 so for me its an easy decision while i try out the new gloves

just got them today, gotta wire the switch to the battery then hopefully enjoy some nice long rides!

I went for a spin on the Ultra last weekend here in Maryland. I saw one other biker - a crotch rocket - and the rider was too bundled up to even wave. Man, am I looking forward to spring already...

Dammit!

I'm gonna get the gerbings hybrid gloves. I don't want to have to harness anything around my bike...doesn't seem very practical especially because I commute with the bike so my rides 90% of the time are under 30 minutes....but can be many of those trips a day :-)

It was 19 this morning in North Alabama.

I've rode to work all week. The ride in isn't too fun but the sunny afternoons in the 30's are wonderful.

God Bless Gerbings
