Not to sound cheap but... uhhh instead of buying something hi-tech and or expensive.
Go to walmart and buy a thin inexpensive wind breaker. Probably about a $20.00 solution at the most and should more than meet your needs
I wear one under my leathers and it works fine, but the vest that Rhythm talked about will keep you warm as well as keepind out the wind. [/QUOTE]
Yo, Bent, you mention'd doing alot of riding. Does this include long rides, or short trips ? Also how low of temp do you plan to ride in ?
Doing short rides with temps above 40 degree should be cool with a windbreaker of some sort like the others here have already mentioned, but if you plan on doing long hauls 45 min or more in anything below 45 degree, especially at night the wind chill will validate hands down going with a Heated vest.
The vest I use heats the neck,arms,front torso and back. with all that action you really dont need anything else, but since I'm cold blooded I'll probably be picking up a pair of heated glove liners next.
Anything below 50 degree and beyond 25 miles one way, day or night and I'm doning my cold weather shid.
You know I wouldn'y stir you wrong, Playa !
