[QUOTE="Tiger_993, post: 1255350, member: 87416"] Heated gear has completely changed my cold weather riding experience. Prior to purchasing heated gloves, I could not find a solution that kept my hands warm in anything below 35F. The heated grips are nice for taking the chill out of the bars in lower temps, but even with the grips at full "hot" my fingers would freeze within minutes if I rode in anything at 35F or below. And there is nothing like powering up a heated jacket in cold weather - it's like riding around wrapped up in an electric blanket. I would suggest putting heated gloves and jacket (or vest?) at the very top of your list for cold weather riding. As far as using rain gear as a wind barrier, it helps reduce the windchill effect, with a possible disastrous side effect being an inability for perspiration to evaporate through it. If the rain barrier isn't breathable, you'll turn clammy, wet, and cold. [/QUOTE]
