move to Florida and ride 12 months a year. If you can;t then the heated clothing is an option but really how much fun is it riding in very cold weather. I guess I am just getting soft, But I love to ride and have done 15K a year.... in the spring, summer and fall.

ps- i got the gloves today for my birthday.
i get the jacket liner for Christmas.
i'm of the same school of thought. call me a puss. in fact call me anything you want... as long as i have control of my throttle and handlebars.. i'm in control of my ride. anything that can assist in extending my riding season is welcome here.
ymmv

I don't think it's that much more difficult with all quick connect plugs, maybe if you had all the gear. (insoles,pants, jacket, and gloves)

Those of us NOT snowbound, see the price of heated gear... gag, and then go buy NON-heated gear... then we buy MORE non-heated gear, and repeat, until we finally DO buy heated gear.
Then we look at the pile of non-heated gear... add up the cost, and wonder WTF was I thinking???? usually we spend more on non-heated gear, than if we just went ahead, and bought the good stuff first
Nothing like easing down the road, in sub-freezing weather, and being toasty warm
Snow??? you're on your own.... but that's WHY, I moved from NJ, to NC

LOL, are the polar bear guys allowed to wear heated gear; I would think that's a bit like cheating?
