Probably not. But then your arms or legs or feet or air you breather
or.... will still be cold. You would need to wear a space suit to be continuously warm. Those seat warmer gadgets are designed to give you a little boost while waiting for the car heater to get going - a few minutes - and not continuous heat unless you need it for your lumbego.

Yeah I can just see myself wearing bikers gloves at 10K feet altitude
and trying to control all the avionics. Used to drive a bike in my 20s - and even at 20F in Toronto. That was quite a few moons ago - wouldn't survive now. Took a flight in Aug 2006 to the west coast in Aug. It was 80F on ground and near freezing at 12K above the mountains. We used to run to the FBO bathrooms shivering and in our coats - probably looked nuts.

You even can buy fully heated suits. An aircraft alternator is probably bigger than one on a motorcycle. |

Hey, I got back into bikes after several decades. I bought a "liter bike"
which is way bigger than anything I had before. I took a riders course and stayed off the streets unless they were clean and dry until I started feeling comfortable with it. With gas prices high in the summers it has a big impact on the fuel budget. The big favorite in heated clothing is a vest followed by boot heaters. wrote in message ...

![]() "Ernest Christley" wrote In reality, if you heat the torso, the warmer blood will be carried out to the extremities. It wouldn't be a complete cure to ward off mid-winter Canadian cold at midnight, but it would be enough to handle the coldest that North Carolina has to offer when combined with sensible socks, a hat and a pair of gloves. (headset makes a nice set of ear muffs) I'm not so sure about North Carolina temperatures being OK with just a warm seat, but these will help. It is amazing how much warmer you stay with some good boots, and these. http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2642665&cp=710549.1905685&pare ntPage=family#1 http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1836735&cp=1905680#1 -- Jim in NC |
