Heated waistcoat

[GerryC]

Had to go to Sligo yesterday and back today. Took the bike. Feckin great spin; dry roads apart from a shower in limerick coming back [that shower up in Limerick, sure the paper is full of their going ons!]
A bit chilly but the heated vest is great. Rember wearing so much gear in winter you could not turn around to look behind. Thing of the past; get a heated vest.- you,ll be glad you did.
OK mirrors help with the turning around stuff; but they dont keep you warm.

Aidan bought me one at the beginning of this year and I wouldn't be without it. Happy days for Aidan he doesn't have to listen to "I,m cold" all the live long day

Mandy,
Part of my job entails ordering uniforms for female staff. When I ask them their size I usually say "Small?, Medium? or L for Long?" Don't mind that bold Gerry C.

the same fine(as in not as big as he used to be,,,you know fine being very thin,,,not that he's too thin,,,more a medium sized bollox than a big bollox,,,
ermm,,hmmm,,,,anyway)gentleman steered me in the direction of a very cheap effective alternative here

if you are any way handy with a needle i would highly recommend these.
better than a waistcoat as they also heat your arms
ps.they also plug straight into the be,em power socket

You were in sligo? My granny lives there.
Have you any info on the heated vest, how much, where, and what make would be good.

I've got a Widder with the solid state heat controler. Sourced it in the states via my brother; can't recall the exact price but about €200 all in. There may be better jobs out there. The widder is sleevless and my forearms get a bit chilly, you can get arm chaps that attach but that sounds fiddely. That aside I'm well pleased.
Is your granny a biker?

Cheapest heated waistcoat by far!

Folks, for those wanting to try the heated waistcoat on the cheap, why not try this half price, battery operated number. I just noticed it this evening for the first. You gotta be quick though!

Apart from the fact the batteries only last 50 minutes!

From the FAQ:
Q) and how long does it keep warm for on one set of batteries? - jon
A) OK - this should be used in the following way; turn on the power for a few minutes to warm up the jacket - turn off. It is not deisgned to be powered up constantly and if used in this way the batteries will last no more than 40 to 50 minutes
