Insulated riding gear, such as gloves and base layers, is fine for short winter rides but it really just delays the inevitable loss of body heat. Electrically heated gear––gloves, jacket liners, grips, and vests––provide the warmth you need to stay comfortable and alert all day. Here's a selection of heated gear to keep you toasty when the temperature drops. Unless noted otherwise, all heated gear requires a controller and wiring that are sold separately.
