To get the most from the heat, a snug ft is critical with heated jacket liners.
I’ve never considered heated riding gear, even heated grips, for I had mostly perfected the art of keeping warm on a motorcycle whilst motor cycle couriering in London during the winter of 1994/1995. Layering with merino wool thermals and a dense weave polar fleece and thermals under leather pants; a wet weather jacket over my Belstaff to cut down wind chill; wool socks and Gore-Tex sock liners inside motocross boots and winter waterproof leather gauntlet gloves inside handlebar muffs kept me ‘relatively’ warm. But did I feel like the Michelin Man? You bet I did.
