I'm RyanF9 and this is the best heated gear.

No need to start complicated – Thermacell Pocket Warmer.

You're probably familiar with the disposable version of this – my mom used to hand 'em

So why, oh why, buy the fancy electronic warmer for 85 bucks?

For one – the lithium ion battery has a good 500 charges in it.

So at 17 cents per use it's actually cheaper.

The heat only comes out the red side, so you're not losing half your energy to Mother Nature.

And that, is how we prevent global warming.

Hold the button once for around body temperature, hold it twice for a bit more, and three times

for a peak temp of 47 degrees celsius-ish.

Obviously the number will fluctuate if you're riding Toronto in August or Winnipeg in October

But still world's better than the old disposables.

With them you would burn for 30 seconds, sweat like a pig for 20 minutes, and then freeze

Heating like that actually does more harm than good.

The unit charges with a USB to micro-USB… also known as that cable you have, like, 3

It takes 4 hours to fully charge and heats for 6 hours on low, 5 on medium and 4 on high…

again depending on whether or not you live in Winnipeg.

The shell is shock and water-resistant TPU…

Also the heating pad is medical-grade silicone… just in case you wanted to get this implanted.

Now, having a warmer in your pocket is one thing, but I'd get a vest liner if it's

This is the Tourmaster Synergy 2.0 and it costs 275 bucks.

You can get full jacket liners for more money, or proper heated jackets for even more.

But I think this is great because you can keep whatever motorcycle jacket you already

And since it keeps my core hot, my arms get plenty of warm blood flow anyway.

The thing about the Synergy is that it has a built-in thermometer.

That means it stays at the temperature you set it.

So when you ride out on a chilly morning, you don't have to constantly keep turning

Also the thermometer acts as a failsafe – just in case you connect this thing to a 1000-volt

battery and its 15A fuse fails to blow... the thermometer will shut the vest off at

dangerous temperatures so you don't cook yourself.

Speaking of which, it is actually safe to use this thing in the rain.

Feels wrong for something lined with steel-fibre elements, but it's true.

In fact if you remove the wiring harness and temperature controller, the Synergy vest is

First bit of good news is the collar, which is tall enough to cover your neck.

Everyone knows there's lots of blood flow in the neck, and every motorcyclist knows

that area is prone to getting blasted with cold air.

Hook it up to the 12V in your motorcycle and boom, you're warm.

I was amazed by how instantly I felt the heat.

Just make sure you layer above the liner and not below.

There's only 100 grams of polyfill in here, so you'll definitely want some kind of insulating

jacket over top, but under the liner you want something thin and breathable – a quick-wicking

athletic shirt will let you best feel the heat.

The one thing I don't like is the controller.

Any electronic that comes with a thigh harness is too large.

I do appreciate that it's a double controller in case you want to add some Synergy gloves

Speaking of gloves – avoid heated ones.

Because of the focus on warmth, they tend to do a pretty shit job of motorcycle safety.

The only decent ones I've found come from Gerbing, and they're so expensive.

The alternative is to buy heated liners to wear under your regular riding gloves.

But then again, it's a bit uncomfortable and seriously vague when it comes to the contact

Oxford makes some killer heated grips that allow me to keep my gloves and my tactile

They come from Britain: a place where cold and wet rides are known simply as … rides.

The Heaterz Grips dole out the warmth in five levels,

In fact at 100% it's almost painful to keep my hands on here.

Of course the top of my fingers still get cold, so I normally wear a decent insulated

Where your hands rest, there's a dense block tread for maximum vibration cancellation and

Then I get a grippier diamond pattern where I actively grip the throttle.

Best thing about the Oxford Heaterz is the battery saving mode… if you forget to turn

them off, they'll automatically go into standby when your motorcycle isn't running.

That way you won't come back to a dead bike.

Speaking of which, these only draw 4 amps, so they won't kill your bike via the fuse

Installation takes about an hour… simple wiring from the battery and simple glue-on

The most laborious part will be cutting off the old ones.

Also it takes a bit of creativity to find a place for this.

Oxford makes fitments for ADV, sport, cruiser, touring, commuting, ATV and scooter… the

difference is just the inside diameter and the length.

Aside from hands, the other extremity you'll need to worry about is your feet.

I'll do the song and dance one more time.

Yes they're overpriced because they're heated.

And no, they're usually not as competent as regular motorcycle boots.
