Spent $180 on a heated vest and it saved my ride through the Rockies last weekend

Honestly, I almost turned back near Lake Louise because the cold was cutting through my jacket, but plugging that vest into the bike for 20 minutes gave me the warmth to push through to Golden.

I always thought heated gear was a bit extra for anything but snowmobiling. That stretch of highway from Lake Louise to Golden is no joke though, and being that cold is legit dangerous. I get it now, that's money well spent.

Yeah, that stretch is a whole different kind of cold. It's not just about being a little uncomfortable, it's about your hands going numb on the bars and not being able to feel the controls. That's when mistakes happen. Good gear is just another part of the safety kit, like a helmet. It keeps your mind on the road, not on how much you're shaking.
