Heated Jacket Liner for South America?
We will be in South America from October '08 through March '09. We'll be riding from Equador down to Ushuaia for Christmas, then up to Buenos Aries in time for the Dakar. After which I'll make my way north. The plan is to be back in North America in April.
Along with our motorcycle gear (including gore-tex liners), we will each be carrying a light weight jacket (Marmot DriClime Catalyst) and a light weight breathable rain shell.
We purchased heated liners in preparation for this trip but are second guessing this decision. Our concern has to do with traveling through the Andes and then in southern Chile & Argentina in late December where it is generally quite windy.
Based on your experience, would we need our heater liners? Or would layering with our outerwear be sufficient and keep us comfortable?
