- November 30, 2012, 11:14:58 AMSo I got one of those 12v electric blankets. 20.00. It has an 8ft power cord i can easily run it down my sleeve and plug it in my accy jack on the handlebars. I cut a hole through the center of it between the wires in the fabric. I could probably take the outer part of the blanket off as the heating system is is mounted on a separate fabric and stitch it to a sweatshirt. Anyway, after a couple barley pops last night I decided to try out my heated poncho and threw on my work coat over top and went for a ride. This thing worked great. I couldn't believe it. It only warms to one level which would equate to the lowest setting on an electric blanket. I took about a 30 mile ride in 30° and It was great. I ordered a set of those handlebar mitts but they haven't come in yet. They are probably still in China somewhere. But I have some waterproof winter gloves that were 4 bucks. They worked great. Waterproof = windproof. with my gortex boots on I was snug as a bug. I will be riding as long as the roads are clean of the white stuff. I might try and stitch another heating element onto the inside of some pants.
