About three weeks ago, I purchased a Firstgear 90 watt heated jacket liner, heated gloves and a dual controller and finally got to try them out today on a ride from Vegas to Death Valley.
The cyclemometer said it was 37 degrees when I left home at 7 AM so I set both knobs at the half way point. It didn't take long before I was turning the controls down because things were getting a little too toasty. Kept those settings until I reached Badwater, where I disconnected the cables and switched to my springtime gloves, which I wore the rest of the trip.
What a great idea this heated gear is. Probably won't use it every ride but won't have to think twice the next time I want to get an early morning start. I should have bought this stuff two winters ago!
