I can only imagine - Its something I have dreamed about - usually a couple of nights into a camping experience in the woods on a very cold night . . . In my dreams it feels very nice - and when I wake up, I don't even have to leave the tent for breakfast - then I really wake up and generally have to stumble to a tree in the dark . . .

When I take long trips I always carry disposable heat packs. I have ridden in the mid-30 for hours and kept confront able. With temps 40 and above, my normal cold weather gear works without the packs.

As for cold weather gear, I have a Tourmaster Transition 3.0 jacket that I wear a sweatshirt under when it drops below 40, Icon Patrol over pants and Icon Patrol gloves. I am able to wear the jacket in the summer by taking the liner out, opening the vents and removing my windshield.

BTW... I also use Tourmaster's Transition 3.0 It's a very nice jacket for the price. I prefer a couple of thin layers of Marino wool clothing under mine.

I use Warm and Safe heated gloves and jacket liner. They keep me plenty warm with some long johns under my jeans. I think most also have a battery option.

I went with Powerlet jacket liner and glove liners, with wireless remote. So far, so good! I've debated about adding some battery-powered socks, but have yet to see any good recommendations. And I've yet to break out the cold-weather boots either, I may simply not need anything else heated.

I have a TourMaster heated jacket liner, with heated grips and heated seat I stay plenty warm. Unfortunately, here in MN we usually get an early snow which brings out the salt trucks. Once the salt is on the road my riding is over until spring, even if we get some warmer weather.
