I'm need some collective help on some textile jackets. I have a Dainese Tempest D-Dry Textile Jacket and has been ok but find it a little cold in the winter so as looking to upgrade. I need to advice on the options please.
Should I get heated under-top.
bay a lightly better Dainese jacket as the one I have has done well in waterproof stakes like a Dainese D-Cyclone Gore-Tex Jacket
or go all in with some thing like a Rukka Armaxis Jacket, just worried its no better than a cheaper jacket. yours collective advice would be very useful
thanks

Get a Keis heated vest or jacket. These use very little current unlike some brands so you can run them from a canbus accessory socket without triggering the cutout.

For commuting (only 12 miles) I put a fleece jacket on under my jacket as I can use the fleece at lunchtime. If it is really cold on the commute or I am riding a long way in cold weather then the Keis waistcoat (and heated insoles) come out.

Agree whole heartedly with Wapping. The new Gerbrings jacket is really light and pliable. I ride all year with a base layer, heated jacket and Klim unlined jacket. This works just fine in all temps and means no bulky jacket etc.
 
The NEC show in 2 weeks time might be a fruitful place to start looking. Please don't freeze to death in the meantime.

Absolutely , be aware of the on line prices, and make a cheeky offer! They all have lots of stock to shift.

PS Oxford stuff ( luggage etc) is normally shit... But I love their vest (with the heated neck) and 5 settings on the wee LED controller... great kit , trusted.
 
Just had a look at this one but reviews very scarce. Are there any vents on it as i can't see any referred to in the description? Thanks
 
No vents, I just ride with the zip down a bit.

Nowadays riding mainly in the UK
