I thought you northerners were all tough? 😂

Just shy of 200 miles round trip to the MK open day last Saturday. Aeroscreen and no heater but I do have half doors and a heated jacket for when its below 8'.  Once I'm on the road I get all the comfort I need from the V8 exhaust note.

Kenton - just looking at heated jackets, which one do you use?

I have a Gerbing heated jacket liner, nice and thin so i wear it instead of a fleece. It has a temperature controller, I've never needed to have it more than halfway. Probably 15 years old and not had any issues with the cables. It has a small zipped pockets on the cuffs containing a connector to plug in gloves if needed. If you get gloves get the heated glove liners not the gloves as they are too thick in my opinion.

Keiss also do heated stuff for bikers. Alternatively make your own, Don't laugh its been done by a friend. Charity shop jacket and some heater cable from ebay, the type you can get for seed trays in a greenhouse.

A mate of mine has used a non branded one for years, got it el cheapo on Amazon or AliExpress. Apparently it's brilliant.

I use a blaze wear heated vest. Wear it next to your skin. Has a battery pack you charge up which on the highest setting lasts all day! If you wear it over a vest it's nowhere near as warm. Just bought some heated gloves which are warm but the cuffs are very tight.

My westy doesn't have a heater - but with side screens or wind defelctors its not too bad. In the depths of winter I break out the keis motorcycle heated clothing. Great and unobtrusive (wired into the car - plug next to handbrake)- the battery pack is great to make it portable for footy/rugby matches too!

Great and not too intrusive... until you walk into the pub dragging your car by the cable, wondering why walking feels so exhausting when you haven’t even had a drink yet..
