Is there an external battery pack you can buy and plug some heated gear in? I've seen some riders do that here with a heavy duty headlamp or headlights for desert night racing.

I was looking for that... the Firstgear heated gloves I looked at originally say they could be used with the optional battery pack... but couldn't find the pack anywhere. almost bought them and just called first gear directly... but, this is ONE trip. the gloves were like $180... imagine the battery pack is at least $50... that's a lot to spend on something I may only use once or twice a year.... especially being in Mississippi.

That's my reasoning on passing on the heated anything.

Get some kind of liners for the gloves. I rode on saturday in the snow and even with my grips on full blast, silk liners, and the BMWs barkbusters, that cold wet snow froze my fingers fast. I last 1-2 hours before I needed to go into a store and warm up.

Get a old fashion hot water bottle and strap it to your body! And you can refill it at dining establishments!

You're welcome Ebbs!

Yeah, there was a nasty blizzard over christmas, lots of roads closed. I know they couldn't get out of my place for 2 days, and I live about 5 miles from his parents!

Mr Lefty · 12-13-2009, 09:06 PM

it's not expensive if you don't buy it.
