Anybody know if this gear is any good.
The Warm-N-Safe heated jacket liner and the Heat-Troller already has enough orders to get the 30% discount good till September 30.
I also heard that it is made in the USA.
Check it out.

I just came in and ts like a freakin icebox out there!!! I too am interested..if this stuff is that good...the price i guess is right.....is there some kind of max-discount on the group buy that i missed?
anyone comment on it?

That looks like one serious coat....For that deal i'm in, whats the deal we need 15? I'll take 2 sets (jackets and controllers)

pcr02hd · « **Reply #3 on:** September 17, 2006, 09:28:56 AM »

The Jacket is nice but I am after the heated gear for me & the wife.

This is farklemasters.com promotion, it is if they get 15 before the end of the month.

I think the way it works is they have 7 orders for the jacket now if they get 15 before the end of the month everyone gets 30% off as it stands with 7 ordered everyone gets 10% off.

Both the Heat-Troller and Warm-N-Safe liner are already over the 15 so everyone that orders between now and the end of the month get 30% off.

I have several friends that ordered the troller and liners. They said they seen a magazine comparison test with Gerbings and Widder the Warm-N-Safe put out more heat than the other 2 and it is all made in USA not China.

I thought maybe someone here may have them already and can say what they think about them.

Here is the Warm-N-Safe web site check it out for more information.

I'd like to order the liner and the controller. I already have the Gerbing for myself and an extra controller. What is the process to order on the group buy and would I need to buy their controller? Thanks

MJZ · « **Reply #5 on:** September 21, 2006, 11:41:02 AM »

I've never used any heated gear before. I notice they offer both SAE and coax. connectors. How do you know which to order? Does it depend by the connection at the jacket? And is the dual for heating two things, like jacket and pants or gloves? [smiley=nixweiss.gif] Anybody know some answers, I sure would appreciate some education. Thanks

Not to mention the warranty that Gerbing has. I too use Gerbing but due to the quality of the item, have not had any need to use the warranty. Here's several links to heated clothes and Gerbing threads....

http://flhrsei.org/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1135824268/4#4

Those threads should answer just about any questions that you might have regarding heated clothing and Gerbing in particular.......but if nothing else, will provide some interesting reading and keep you buys for many hours. [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]

I will say that as expensive as it was (I got the sox, pants liner, jacket liner and gloves) that it was a purchase that was well worth it.......even down in the 30's. I've never used the pants liner or sox so I would suggest just starting with the jacket liner and gloves.

Have the jacket liner and the G3's. Bought them last winter. Gloves are still a little bulkier than I'm used to but I sure stay warm. Recommend them both.

Gerbing will wire your zip out liner for heat should that option be more attractive than buying a vest. Less bulk and you know it fits

arcticdude · « **Reply #18 on:** November 02, 2006, 12:18:17 PM »

I don't know if Gerbings is still using the "helsapor" for their waterproof membrane anymore or not. Since they don't specifically mention which membrane they are using, it's certainly NOT Goretex. The "helsapor" membrane they had in their gloves 3 years ago- now their classic glove- does NOT keep the water out. Your hands will be warm, but not dry. Both pairs of our Gerbings gloves are identical in this respect. They still need rain mitts over them. My experience has been if it ain't Goretex, it ain't going to keep you dry and not sweating.

So true john...Goretex rules for me also...but I will say that My G3 Gloves stayed pretty dry on the way to MV this year...at least they were not cold and wet.

Bill, I have the G3's also and had to just order a dual controller. My old gloves heated about the same as my liner but I have noticed the G3's take more to heat up. First couple of times I used them, I had to cook my body to warm my hands. Finally I set the thermostat to keep the liner comfortable and forget the gloves. I think the dual controller will take care of this. Have you used yours with a solo controller?

WFP · « **Reply #21 on:** November 02, 2006, 01:44:07 PM »

Agree with your findings. I had the single controller and the jacket Liner would get very warm compared to gloves. Got a new Jacket liner with dual controller and much more comfortable.

Never had the old gloves to compare.

Same experience Bill. I don't know what's supposed to be in the G3 gloves. But I do know that in several hours of light showers and two hours of full blown rain they did stay dry.

Thanks a lot for the info MJZ. Are you saying that you were using a single temp controller for one pair of gloves and now you're using the dual temp controller instead (1control/glove instead of 1 control/pair of gloves)? I ordered the dual because I was figuring I'd eventually hook-up the OL to it. She doesn't ride with me as often in the winter so we started with 1 pair only. Worst case is to buy a second controller with the second pair, I guess. Hoist!

Thanks for the tips -- gonna go with the liner, socks, pants, and g3 gloves with dual thermo. I'll just have to make room in the left hand saddle bag with my rain gear.

I'm freezing in Houston riding in 50 deg weather... (and will be sure to take it to Nelson this summer, just in case).

Two,

I've heard that too so I'm getting the socks without wire in the bottom.

I rode up to Saskatoon in 05 after Sturgis for the Canadian National Hog rally in August -- It was friggin cold then, high of 38 and low of 28. I was wearing everything in my suitecase in addition to leathers and rain gear and still froze. (it was 95 - 100 in Sturgis when we left)

It will be just me on my bike so I have lotsa space for all types of gear.

So Candy...the Gerbing pants (as opposed to the liner pants) fit close enough over the jeans to feel the warmth, even on the lower legs? Or do you just wear them over regular long johns? Seems the closer the thing is to your skin, the better, but I've never worn any of the stuff, so I'm an open book here...I'm curious about the fit of the pants and what you would recommend wearing under them.

Suzanne's legs get cold, as she is out in the wind more than me, particularly her legs....mine are fine next to the engine and behind the lowers.

Makes sense...pants it will be then. Looks like they might serve well in all but an absolute downpour too. If I got any piece for myself, it would probably be the pants. Though the lower parts of my legs stay warm, the knees and the boys suffer greatly when it's really cold out, despite the heated seat. The knee (right one) gets really stiff though...the boys just try and hide.

2) is there a place where you can get discount on Gerbing?

I used the Gerbing coat liner yesterday in 40 degree weather. Yes, we had 40 degrees in Phoenix. The liner works great, especially nice is the element around the collar. Anyone come up with a good place to put the controller that allows you to get to it easily while riding? I did not want to drill a hole in the bike for a permanent mount.

I just used some double stick velcro and taped it at the base of the tank against the fromt edge of the seat. Comes off when warmer weather arrives and a little adhesive remover (if necessary) cleans up the tapes residue.

Not the most technical way to do it but it worked fine and I didn't have to leave the control box in some goofy place all the time.

Good suggestion. I should have mentioned that I have the Gerbing pouch but it's hard to get to attached to your belt which is covered by a jacket.

Think I am going with the Widder since I can add the arms (important since my KLR has CRAP for electrical output).

IMO I would recommend Gerbings. I am a bit partial I guess because they are close to where I live. One thing that really stands out in them though is their customer service!! Lifetime on electrics helps as well. I have a lot of their stuff and anything that ever fails including battery connections and controllers they promptly replace or repair. www.gerbings.com

I like the Synergy line from tour master, however they don't show any details for electric connections or temp control.
I would be interested in a jacket liner and a pair of gloves.
I ride in the winter as long as it's dry (no ice) and over 37 deg. when I leave the house at 6:30 and will be warmer on the way back.
So far I've been using my FXRG jacket with a pair of flannel lined Garhart pants and my rain shell over the pants as wind breaker (works great).
I like the idea of liner under a reflective jacket since I leave in dark and some times get back in dark.
I also have a neck gator from Under Armor that's absolutely awesome, very light weight and warm. It even covers my ears.

If I am not mistaken you may be able to bump up the alternator and electrics of the Road Glide. Basically get the same alternator and other electrics as the Ultra, will be a pain in the butt to switch over.

Also I would get a jacket liner rather than a vest. It will keep your arms a lot warmer, and it packs up almost as small as a vest.

When you guys get cold in 40 deg F in the southern states up here in Canada and the US Northwest we just put a jacket on over our T Shirts lol.

It's my "other bike" that has the electrical issues - my Kawa KLR650... 17Amps max output. The SERK can drive a small city compared to the KLR...

Sean,

IMO I would recommend Gerbings. I am a bit partial I guess because they are close to where I live. One thing that really stands out in them though is their customer service!! Lifetime on electrics helps as well. I have a lot of their stuff and anything that ever fails including battery connections and controllers they promptly replace or repair. www.gerbings.com

Gerbings have served me very well for 4 years. The SECU heates seat and grips are an excellent adjunct to the Gerbing jacket liner and pants. Haven't used the gloves this year as the grips have been adequate. Can't go wrong with the system and definately get the dual control.
