Heated First Gear Jacket
Good morning all! IF any of you are debating on buying a heated jacket liner this year, stop debating! Now! Simply run out and drop the dough! Don't wait until it is too cold to really enjoy the heated gear! I bought mine and used it this morning and I am in love!!!! Best investment next to the oxford heated grips. I am doing highway speeds for almost an hour and the only part of me that was not perfectly comfortable was my thumb on the outer portion and that is being pretty picky! I will never go with out this accessory again! I am fairly certain I could go into the low twenties and still be comfy. Just my .02 and as always, your mileage may vary but it made my morning commute a pleasurable toasty warm experience. If anyone has any questions about it let me know. I bought the 90watt first gear with the dual "troller". It was a bit more than I wanted to spend but worth every penny. Also, it should pay for itself somewhat since my truck only gets 19mpg and the vstrom is getting 39-43. So in the end it really is a cost SAVINGS (at least that is what I told the Mrs. ).

Thanks for the testimonial! The tip of my right thumb is the thing I can't get to stay warm, but I'm a man, so I just keep riding.

My toe solution is $1.50 toe warmers in my boots. Need 2 sets for a long day of riding because the heat only lasts about 4 hours.ajayhawkfan wrote:Troy, so your toes are no longer a problem?troy wrote:Thanks for the testimonial!

Any outdoor store (Dick's, Bass Pro, ETC.) and Walmart. As does Tractor Supply Company. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=hot ...
