Ordered from Australia, it was about $200. I find it works exceptionally well, even with the crazy mumbo jumbo about far infrared and focusing heat on the back and all that. Of course, i'm still working on the wind deflection (i did it backwards). I bought a Jett battery-powered heated vest after checking a review on another site.

Stows very compact, and adds the equivalent of like 15 degrees warmth.

Especially #5. Just to add: I find Long Johns (10$ thermal underwear) to work just as well as the under armour. And when it gets below 30 degrees, I double up. Thanks for the tip on those cargo pants. I had been looking at them for quite some time but did not know if they were overpants or not. A great deal on winter gloves are at Newenough.com, closeouts section - $27 But heated grips on high + summer gloves will keep you pretty warm in the city. Also MSR wind deflectors work well for $25. They buckle on to your handlebars and are made of cortech to keep the wind off your hands. Be careful as depending on what type of bike you have it may bump the brake lever.
