    Suppose to be nice next three days here, upper 50s, then high in 30s on Monday. Off rest of week. Should get in couple rides.

    HLR, went to Gerbing website, saw interesting glove with 7V Lithium battery, rechargeable with no wires. Battery in pocket on back of gloves. Do you know anything about them?

    If you buy the Gerbing electric gloves make sure you get thermostat with them otherwise it gets to be a pain turning gloves on and off to control them.

    I bought the heated liner and gloves a few years back from Harley, there made by Gerbings and Harley has a good warranty. Work great. Never bought the thermostat just use a on off switch, get to warm shut me off. :)

    That's why I like TourMaster's liners....the controller has 3 temp settings so you're never hot/cold. By the way, I paid $150 for the jacket, and $100 for the gloves a few years ago and still working great. And I use these a lot.

    Gloves plug into a connector at the end of each sleeve. Same with the pants (connector on bottom hem of jacket) if you need them. Only need one wire going to the pigtail from the battery to the temp controller.

    I use the thermostate with dual controlls so I can have the gloves one temp and the jacket another.

    Rode today and put mine to the test again. Temp was 28 when I left home, and actually felt toasty with liners on "medium heat". Got up to 50 degrees by 2pm.

    HLR, I would've ridden with you guys tomorrow but I was "volunteered" to head-up our New Years Day breakfast at Church. We start cooking @ 6:30 and go all morning if you're in the neighborhood. Eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, pancakes, and my secret hollandaise sauce. FREE! It would be awesome to see all you guys ride in to Church.
