Anybody use this type of thing and have any recommendations as to what's good?
Will it drain the battery (Gen 1)?
Thanks
Hi I commute 100 miles a day and through the colder months I use a EXO2 heated waist coat and oxford heated grips. What I find is that if your core is warm and hands are warm then the rest of you stays warm. I do also use Gortex Cordora suit and waterproof boots. Toasty! As far as the battery, it goes on the optimate every night and have not had an issue so far and I have running this configuration for 6 months. Hope this is of some help.
