Cheers Gazza! Its just my hands that bother me...I wear an extra jumper and drink a piping hot mug of tea before I set off. This seems to work for everything else After your first sock review I am kind of off the idea anyway!
Getting a new job in Thailand also sounds nice...ball ache of a commute though. Today I tried those disposable handwarmers in my gloves. They kinda helped but fingers still froze up. I'm heading towards heated gloves hardwired to battery. Sooo the next question...can I connect unlimited connections to the battery terminals? Already have an Optimate connector there. Obviously won't be used same time as the gloves! |

These second pair of socks are a whole lot better than the first ones I reviewed, that was more a warning to stay clear of that seller than to put you off heated clothes.
I've got three speeds on the new ones and the batteries last a good hundred mile or more on the hottest setting. Be aware of the voltage when you buy anything, most seem to need 5 volts. You'll be putting 12-13V into them if you come straight off the battery. Best to have some sort of controller in the circuit too. Did you see post 54 about Jeff's hand guards? That could be a simpler way forward for you?

Honestly - if you can stomach the cost then I cannot recommend the KEIS kit highly enough. It's fantastic. (And if you have optimate leads on each bike then you can switch from bike to bike seamlessly). |

I think Keis is about the only specialist motorcycle kit available from UK suppliers.
I believe it's all 12V ? I think you can also get an external controller for them. My experiments with cheap chinese stuff is leading me to the conclusion that it's worth saving up for some proper Keis kit. (one day!) The market place for this kit seems to change all the time, so it'll be interesting to see the developments for next Winter.
