Anton, I suggest you visit Aerostich's web site @ www.aerostich.com and look
at the catalog.  There is lots of stuff in it.

I just ordered a bunch of stuff from them including: Tingley Rubber Boots
#403 (though I may return these, because the next motorcycle boots I
buy--sometime within the next 30 days--will be waterproof--either the new
BMW boots or a pair of Sidi OnRoad or GT Sympatex).

> Are Widder gloves waterproof? I'm curious what good 100%

I also purchased a pair of waterproof over gloves, called the Triple Digit
Rain Cover--#442, that one can wear over the regular gloves to keep dry.

> What the hell is the HiPora material?

It is a breathable membrane, not unlike Gore-Tex that allows water vapor
out, but not in.

> I suspect electric gloves are a pain in the butt to connect. Am I wrong?

Can't be any more difficult than an electric vest, which isn't hard if you
set it up correctly.

> Any other recommendations for winter waterproof boots?
not specifically winter, but try these for waterproof:

> Does anyone recommend any aftermarket windscreens or something else?

I use a ClearView +6 for late fall/early spring and the stock shield the
rest of the time.  I'm 6'2" and I like to look over the screen.
