Thinking of getting a heated vest, trying to extend my riding season. Any suggestions?

I bought a Widder electric vest several years back; it has the simple on/off switch and it definitely is worth the money. If you keep your core body temp warm, the rest of your body feels warm.....

cord or battery operated? does it draw too much on the electric system?

Heated grips will help too.

I got a heated jacket, chaps, and gloves. I only use the gloves now, they warm up my hands and that warms up the rest of me!

What gloves do you have?

I went with the Gerbings. They have a lifetime warranty against the wires breaking too. I ride all winter with them. They are not cheap, but I believe my comfort is worth the cost.

I will have to check them out. Gerbings has a store about 80 miles from me.

It's corded. The vest doesn't draw any more power than a light bulb.

Got one of these last year and find it great. I went for the battery because I figured I could use it off the bike also
