where to buy heated gloves, jacket?

[Rick]

I can't argue with what e.l. green says but the wife and I don't have to wear a tight shirt over our Widder vest,just regular clothes. But near as I can tell, when it comes time to wear electrics, it is because one is cold. Keeping warm or warming up is what it is about to me. As far as the Widder gloves being non-water proof, absolutely true. But again, I'm not looking to be riding out in nasty weather, even though I have been. So Aerostitch makes a nice, light and thin over 2 finger ( claw type) weatherproof cover we use when the weather turns nasty.
