Proto - you're becoming a bit of a wet blanket. I might have to moderate your posts for awhile.
EB - I like that heated vest - my 'Achilles heel' of cold weather riding is my hands. (Odd image of hands with heels). The heated gloves (that get decent reviews) are so freakin' expensive. For now, I use snowmobile gloves and those Hott Hands packs for when it's really cold.
I have no idea what the rate of production is. If it's anything like the Enertia...we may never know.
KingCharles - tell me why you say the white is the EU version. I must be missing it.
