Electric jackets and gloves

anyone have any experience with heated jackets and gloves ? a friend of mine has been riding for 35yrs and swears by them

I don't have any experience with electric gloves but i'm using a gerbings liner with a thermostat.....wouldn't be without one now.

Buddy of mine got some from Cycle gear. He likes them. Got it so he can use the plug where he has his battery charger to plug them in if I remember right.
If you go to the internet or call and check a store.
Cycle Gear has some stuff called Freeze Out that is pretty good.
Its on 1/2 price if you git it before the 1st of next year.

A good Leather jacket like the FXRG jacket Harley sells sure makes a difference to for cold weather.

A good pair of chaps like these sure helps too.

Yes I have experience with electric jacket and gloves, if you live where it is cool or cold for several months a year they are very nice, I've had the gloves for about 8 years, just got the jacket liner last year, don't know what took me so long to get it. Can ride when the temperature is down in the low teens and still be comfortable. I have the full jacket liner and gloves, wife has the vest and gloves she says that is enough for her. The dual temp control is the way to go, can have the jacket on low and the gloves on high. The jacket will cook ya, the gloves are nice but at highway speeds I keep them turned up pretty high. Have ridden all day with them on and they are worth every penny they cost. I also wear chaps and insulated boots.
Gerbing makes the Harley heated gear. Same product with different name on the outside.

Is there any difference in Gerbing and First Gear cept the price ?

I can only say you guys are SERIOUS about riding in cold weather! Around here, it does get cold, but we can ride 12 months a year as even in the coldest months, we get a few days or so here and there with temps in the 60s. No need for heated gear here, unless you want to ride on the coldest days. Which I don't anymore!

Sure do like my new shoei qwest for cool weather ridin

Don't know for sure about the technology in first gear, I bought a pair of first gear gloves for my buddy a couple of years ago and he thinks they are great. I don't know how price plays into either make.

There are several other heated gear manufactures out there, just google heated motorcycle gear.

i think ill check out the gerbing line its gets down into the 40s here during the day and I wouldnt mind being a little warmer while ridin and the wife would probably enjoy it more wind in the face isnt bad its the hands and upper body that freeze

Wear a Hd Pull over thick sweatshirt with a Hood, and a FXRG jacket. Got a mid weight pair of gloves and heated hand grips and a pair of the Cycle Gear quilted chaps. And a tall pair of boots with some diecent socks.
And my Nolan N 102 Helmet before I got the Shoei Qwest helmet.
Rode in 33* weather 125 miles sound to The lonestar Rally. No problem.

For Jacket, pants, gloves and inner soles to keep you warn for at least 550.00 and I don't know if that includes thermostats.
Don't look for me to be gettin any.

you won't be sorry, JMO - Gerbing is the best. there are remote controllers from other companies that will work with Gerbing gear. Do your research before buying.

yea but your the man! the rest of us aren't as tuff as you. I been doing this for a long time and didn't get heated gear untill my late 50's. Now that I have it, it is great..
It's only money, be warm or piss it way in the bathroom after a few beers,
ya don't have to buy it all at one time. gloves, this year jacket linner next spring when they go on sale,

unfortunately not much of a research guy Ill probably go to the gerbing dealer and check out EVERYTHING

I'm over 60 and I'm retired. CAn't force myself to buy it.
My buddy bought it and i've only seen him go ride a few times with it.
And I don't live in Colorado either.
It will be 70* tomorrow for a change after a couple 2-3 weeks of rain on and off.
Gonna be tough weather here for the next 10 days.
Wife will come up early and she ain't got to Ride n 2 weeks, she is climbing the wall to ride somewhere and go eat.
So I'll give you two guesses on what I will be doing tomorrow.

I'm 60 and have gerbing gloves jacket n dual theromostat. Love it.

gonna be 60 and got the heated liner and the thermostat and the next bike has heated grips....

not quite to the next decade yet may as well be as comfortable as possible

Cardboard, why would you even consider electric liners living in TX? Tins***s is in CA, so I wonder why there too.

I will ride in 10 deg. if the roads don't have snow. But I have a full heated jacket liner and gloves by TourMaster. They make riding in freezing weather as comfortable as a 70 deg day. Their prices are much better than Gerbings too, and I like the temp controller better. The motor is good for keeping my legs and feet warm.

Was 22* here for several Days. It was cold.
If its 10* don't think I want to open the front door.
