First Ride with Heated Gear Today
Well, it wasn't freezing but chilly and windy and a little rain. About 43, 15 mph wind and light drizzle. I bought new Tourmaster Synergy jacket Liner and Heated Gloves just before Christmas. Got them from motorcyclesuperstore.com, free ship, no tax and under $300 for liner, 2 thermstats, all wiring, extra battery hookup, SAE connector, jacket liner and gloves. They will price maych any internet retailer of brick and mortar.Was an easy hook up to the battery, run the power line up and out the nose of the seat. The gloves and jacket heat can be controlled independently of each other. Jacket on low, gloves on medium, I was comfortable for a several hour ride including interstates at 70 +. Turn jacket up to medium and gloves to high and I was toasty, almost too hot. All I kept saying was what everybody said I wouls ask..."why did I wait so long to buy this"..Lots of great gear out there, just wanted to give a heads up of my findings/

I got a huge fairing in front of me, fairing lowers and chaps if necessary. Doesn't seem cold though when the trunk and hands are toasty and it does not get that awfully cold here anyway. Maybe a few weeks of 25-30 degree weather, mostly 30s and 40s

It was about the same temp here this morning when I decided to ride into work. I had an undershirt, shirt, thick hoodie, and Icon leather jacket with liner, and full face helmet on. I also had some wet weather pants on for block some of the wind. I started out warm but then started to get cold after 20 miles or so. The bad part was I couldn't even move because I had so much on. Thanks for posting, now I know what I need.
