Gerbing's heated jacket

I just picked up a Gerbing's heated jacket on tuesday, and I will never scoff again at electric clothing. Wow! Why did I wait so long? I first tried it under my Firstgear Kathmandu with the liner in on a 35-40 degree day and it was almost too hot. I tried it with my vented mesh Shift jacket with just the waterproof liner in and still toasty! I mounted the controller to the front of the fuel tank with velcro and ran the wires under the left shroud directly to the battery. I "tested" the draw without the jacket plugged in by accidentally leaving the controller on for 2 days. The little red "on" LED didn't draw enough to cause any starting issues. The jacket has integral plugs behind zippers on the sleeves for plugging in gloves, which I will not need with my Zeta handguards. The jacket doesn't look to dorky for wearing off the bike, and is well made. They also offer pants and insoles, as well as a lithium battery setup. $270.00 for jacket and controller.

Sounds like a hot set-up.

I keeping thinking that heated gear should go on sale in the summer time, but it never does. Which is why I keep saying, maybe next year I'll get some heated gloves.

Living in Las Vegas, I ride year-round and yes Virginia, gets freezing cold here. But they say it's dry cold. My hands are the first to go and hand guards don't help enough. Gerbings T5 gloves are on my wish list...next summer when they go on sale. Doh!

Don't forget Warm n Safe! Less expensive, especially with the ADVRider coupon, more convenience with the remote heatroller, and better fit from my experience. I LOVE my classic rider gloves, and they've been warm into the single digits.
