I was just wondering about getting something like one of these for winter riding:

I know it is still quite a warm december, but for when the inevitable snow etc arrives, has anyone tried one of these? Idea

I got to try something similar as a hot water bottle recently and it was excellent, and they reckon 10 hours warmth from a quick blast in the microwave? I reckon it could fit in the front pouch of a hoodie, and as long as it didn't burn it would keep my core temperature up quite nicely. And it sounds a lot less faff than trying to hook something up to the battery.

You can also get re-usable hand warmers that contain a liquid that is activated by clicking a metallic disk inside them. I usually keep a few in the car as well as the bike during the cold weather - so you just reminded me to dig them out.

They are about £4 for a pack of two, and you can get them from outdoor leisure / camping shops.

I just picked up a couple of pairs of these yesterday in Aldi, they have them in their offers bit, £2.39 I think they were per pair. Gonna try these too inside my gloves! Mr. Green

Don't try riding with them inside your gloves though - they can easily split open if you bend them!

As when you are riding, you are sitting on a ''endless'' 12v power source, look at some electrically powered clothes. Thumbs Up

It'll be just right for keeping your vagina warm.

The comment I have been waiting for - BCF does not disappoint! Laughing

I'm with Ste on this one: muffs and/or heated grips - they can be always on the bike ready to go.

I can live with heated grips, I'm buying some for Mrs Bastard for crimbo.

But muffs? You can prise my muffless exup from my cold, dead hands....
