I'll repeat what's been said many times before: keep your core warm and the extremities will not lose their supply of warm blood.

Came here to say that. Mine is a keis.

A good heated waistcoat will keep your hands nice and warm and your brain functioning (as much as it can for any biker).

We have functioning brains?? Damn!!

For a given level of "function".

Fair point!! I think my level of function can be pretty low

[Scootabout]

The functioning of our brains is a function of how warm we are.

I've been contemplating a Keis heated vest for a while now (for Spring riding, I'm not a masochist).

This thread reminded me to check if there were any Black Friday deals on them, and Infinity have come up trumps with a proper bargain price

Now to hope they run a bit big, as medium was in stock and large wasn't, and it's always pot luck which of the two I am(and I think I got the last one that wasn't a size 6 )

Ime, yes they come up large, and they're thick. (If its the fleece one especially)

Heated gloves are a life saver, especially if without heated grips.

I’ve just had some Keis 701 short gloves delivered from sports bike shop, when the weather changed this week I did one day in my normal sports gloves and cried I ordered the heated gloves to connected to my gilet,
Same day I fitted the bar muffs and dug out my alpinestars winter gloves, coming home at night it was 0 and hands were ok… ish. Having a debate with my self if I really need the £195 out lay.
They do feel nice though

It’s what I’ve got, it’s proper strange…. It’s bloody freezing cold, everything is slightly chilly but your torso is proper Hot just dug mine out for this year, love it

A friend has a heated 'gilet' which he loves (mind you, I think he has a fair bit of metal in his back, so probably more in need than most, I should probably stop teasing him about being feak and weeble!!).

I'll try and get the brand as I don't think it's biker branded, so will probably be a bit cheaper than the others!!

I'm tempted for skiing. Not for actually skiing but the waiting in lift queues and sitting on the chairs. Although the last season I did actually get cold skiing - apparently that means I'm skiing better and creating less energy! Excellent in some ways, downside meant I was getting cold

It fits

There's loads of non-bike heated gilets on amazon for around the £50 mark at the moment. I've no idea how good they are compared to the Keis ones though.

I suspect that's similar to the one a mate has. It's not branded but works just fine! Haven't asked him the price tho!!
