The heated long johns and vest I bought was from China, so be prepared for a long wait after you order, or pay a premium for English stocked goods.
After sales service is wanting too, but the suit actually does work and is very comfortable.
I just wear Kevlar jeans and a jumper and jacket over the top instead of the multiple layers that I used to before the heated gear.
You'll need a 5v dc usb source from a battery or device on you bike. They don't provide that!
Never dealt with Fruugo before and probably won't be rushing to again. Pretty sure these are the ones I got.

Oh and you need to order a couple of sizes bigger than your normal size as Asian sizes are miniature. Study the size chart.

I bought usb leads and plug them into my bike, which has two 5V usb outlets.

The socks, my second pair, are much better than the first ones. Seems to be a bit of a lottery with these chinese made things!

These ones come with batteries and work well. I chopped the plugs off and extended the cables with speaker cable, so I could have the batteries in my pockets rather than in my boots where I can't get to them and also they'd be a tight fit in there!
I find it best to air them after a ride. they are washable apparently.

Looks like the price has gone up since I bought mine. Surprise! I think the prise rises as the temperature drops?
