My wife loves me. Well after 35 years maybe more accurately she puts up with me. But each fall I complain about being cold on the bike. So she broke down after my incessant whining and bought me a gift.
Revzilla “Staff Pick” heated jacket from Hotwired.
It comes with the wiring harness needed to install it on a bike. The heat controller is built into the jacket; 3 modes Low/Medium/High. Cost is about US$220.
Cuffs are an elasticized knit to provide a basic thermal barrier. Collar is fleece for comfort.
For times when you are off the bike the wires can be concealed in zipper pockets. There is a pocket at each cuff for wires to connect to your gloves. Apparently the gloves heat output is not controlled by jacket controller? There is another pocket for the wire that connects to the bike’s wire.
The jacket has a tab on the lower left side that hangs down a couple inches. On that tab is the switch for controlling the heat. It is illuminated in 3 colors depending upon the heat intensity you choose.
I’ll be installing this on the bike later this week and testing it out for an initial impression review.
