It just so happens that I have my Whalen and my stock S ***** inside.

Whalen=508g
Stock S=188g

Reason being, despite all the socks, covers or warmers that exist, the Whalen (which I love) is just damn cold in Milwaukee.

I drove with it last winter but this year I decided:

Summer = Whalen (and spring and fall)
Winter = JCW carbon fiber. It conducts no heat or cold.

P.S. Sorry Doug, just till March or so.

No problem at all!

I don't drive my Bimmer in the winter (just put it away last week); but if I did, I probably wouldn't want that cold **** on there, either.

Doug - since you haven't finished the shift **** for me, yet - how about insalling a heating element in it

?

Well, you're not the first person to ask about a heater!

Unfortunately, all I have is an old barrel heater and control, from one of my old plastic molding machines. Think it would work?
