Even in Florida I imagine at 5:00am in January / February it may be a little cold.
My thoughts are why be cold ever. I have always carried in my bag and use the heated liner whenever I need it. Keeping warm keeps your mind sharper and you happier overall. This leads to a better riding experience.
Thank you for your help.
Hopefully after I clean the connections and use a little dielectric grease my Tourmaster will work correctly again.

For the past two days I've been riding in 44 degree ambient temps @ 70-80mph for roughly one hour periods; with nothing more than a Olympia mesh jacket with liner
The F6B provides some good wind protection, I can attest to that.
Netherless I shall be breaking out my Gerbing gear once I see the temps dip below 40 degree's.

I generally work swings here in the NW. I finally had to put away my Draggin Shirt due to the cool rides home. Now its my leather with a sweatshirt underneath and soon enough my garbing gloves... or today wetsuit and snorkel...Originally Posted by willtill

yeah... noting your use of "swings"... I'd like to apply that to temps this time of year...I generally work swings here in the NW.

Could be 38 degree's when you ride out in the morning here... then later it's 70 degree's (perfect) when your riding back home. Crazy temp changes for motorcycling but I do it.

Milwaukee Jacket usually used by the trades when working outside.
Has a rechargeable battery that fits inside your jacket on your hip.
Two of us have them and think they are the best thing ever for a rider in cooler climates says the F6B owner in Canada. There is two levels of heat and can last up to five hours.
I didn’t want a cable attaching me to the bike. I give it two thumbs up!!
It doesn't seem that the Milwaukee Jacket offers heat in the sleeves though...?
Gerbing jacket liners do provide for that.

I'm on my second season with the hotwired gear from Cyclegear. I like it. Warms thoroughly, was about 400 for pants, jacket, gloves, and shoe soles. They say it comes with an unconditional lifetime warranty, which is why I bought it. 400 dollars for life? Seemed like a great investment to me and I'm still really enjoying it.
