Went off down to the club yesterday. It was 1.5C but I was toasty warm on the bike thanks to a BMW heated waistcoat I was given by an old pal and my new Tucano muffs. Seriously warm - had to turn the waistcoat down to min ( what is the max setting for? The Russians steppes I suppose being German

The muffs really are great. Riding with summer gloves and warm hands in winter is brilliant, and the cost of the muffs isnt much more than a half decent pair of winter gloves anyway. Only issue is that I didnt realise how often I must look down at the bars to find some of the less often used controls, so I'm OK groping in the dark for indicators and starter button but even the headlight dipper and the horn are more of a fumble away.
Anyway, without wishing to sound like a salesman, the muffs are recommended.
