If you’re like me, you don't hibernate your bike in the winter. But also if you’re like me, you want to be comfortable while out there in the freezing cold air riding your bike. The answer is heated jackets or liners and gloves. You can also get the heated pants or liners. I tried them but they seemed a bit too much to get into (or out of) so I only used them a few times.

I can tell you these heated clothes make all the difference in the world! I've been using the heated jacket liner and gloves for several years and wouldn't ride far in the cold Oregon winter weather without them. Another good thing to keep you comfortable and only costs around $20 is a wrap around ski mask. You can get them at any ski shop.

So I looked into these items at Harley-Davidson and here's what they've got...

Harley-Davidson, as usual, is on the high end. You might Google around for other sources to find a better deal. I can tell you this, one of my gloves quit working after I'd had it over a year and they replaced it. They do stand behind their products warrantees.
