[QUOTE="Fz1Pilot, post: 507063, member: 13571"] Well I start off with a wind triangle or wind band from Aerostitch to keep the wind off the neck. I also use a Baclava to keep the head and ears warm. I use a heated vest under my Aerostitch Daren jacket typically over a decent base layer (Cold gear from underarmor under normal clothing). My vest is also an Aerostitch product, the Kanetsu wind stopper version. Even with the electrics off, the wind stopper easily adds 10 degrees of warmth and comes highly recommended. I used to run the thick winter gloves and I found that these didn't work to keep my hands warm. Instead I use a pair of Held race gloves with the heavy padded tops and thiner kangaroo palms. This lets my hands soak up the energy from my heated grips. Mmmmmm Toasty..... I opted to go with the factory installed heated grips (Ouch) but the dealership will never be able to deny me warrenty repairs on the charging system because i installed aftermarket grips that voided my warrenty (Now I will just have to argue about the auxillary lighting....) Lastly, a good pair of waterproof boots that are not too tight to allow good wool socks beneith. This setup typically allows me to go 4-6 hours in 30-40 degree weather in almost total comfort. Once its below 30, your just going to get cold. Its a good reason to stop and drink some coffee :blink: [/QUOTE]
