I only use gloves, and they work for me. I will get a vest one of this winters, don't get me wrong, I can never be to hot, but the gloves sure do a very good job.Quote:

Similar to that, there is a DIY heated seat kit on Ebay, nothing beats roasted nuts at this time of year :o
Just thought I'd come back and update the thread.
I did get the handguards and they look really cool. I've had loads of comments on them.

I've also got some Keis heated gloves.

These work really well as the heated material runs down each side of each finger and around the fingertip so I have found them much better for fingers than heated grips.
I have a battery which I put in my inside jacket pocket. I also have a cable to the optimate connection on the bike. I haven't used that yet and it obviously requires a cable to run from your jacket to the bike whereas my portable battery means I'm not actually attached to the bike.
As an aside, I am pretty sure I have this.

Less extreme than those photos in terms of the extent but exactly that problem.
I even get it when driving on a cold steering wheel.
The Keis gloves sort this problem as long as the battery doesn't run out.
I like the portable battery system as I can use it for cycling and even watching the rugby on a cold day.
I am going to get the waistcoat as I'm impressed with the gloves.
I got myself the Keiss waistcoat for Christmas, it's lush!!!
Did look at the gloves, but with the waistcoat I've not felt the need.
