I have the heted socks nd gloves...I can get by by stuffing something in my ski pants in front of my legs for now but i cn't stand having cold feet or hnds...It's a good feeling riding in the teens and having toasty hands and feet. I will have the heated pants and jacket eventually and the insoles look pretty good to...The only issue i have had with the socks are you feel the wires under your feet but the new ones aren't like that...the insoles should eliminate this problem. Buy them you will not be disapointed.

As the guy who started this thread some while back, let me add my opinion..
I've been riding with my gloves and liners for some months now and, over all,
I'm pretty satisfied. It can get bitterly cold here in the Southwest yet I've been
able to ride whenever I wanted to including temps down into the very low teens.
They don't get as hot as I thought they would based on people's comments, but
they've kept me comfortable so no complaints, there. I do wish the gloves were
more of a gauntlet style; it's hard to tuck my jackets' sleeve ends into the gloves.
I have not used a heated jacket or pants and have been OK without them. I have
a First Gear "Kilimanjaro" style textile jacket for winter use and, with a thin sweater
underneath, it's been all I needed. I've been riding with both leather pants and
chaps in real cold and that's been OK, just stiff to walk around in.
My first year riding through the winter has been pretty successful and I really
appreciated the feedback and advice I got before buying mine.
