All heated clothing should be worn over something, pants a long sleeve T shirt.  I live close enough to Gerbing that I have actually been there several times.  I am current wearing there Ultimate riding pants and jacket as well as there leather gloves w/silk liners.  The wife wears pants, jacket liner, socks and glove liners.  Upgraded the stator to 45 amp and have had no problem.  Coming home from Reno this year we left Diamond lake junction @ 6am it was 19 degrees and we where all toasty.

Just reading about all this electric warming stuff makes me feel good all over.........my question since I have NO experience with any of it is:

[spydglide]

Hey Otis, I heard that Hubbard was slimming down and was gonna 'back into' those leathers once again.  Where is kng, anyway?  Har!   [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif] [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif] [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif] spyder

They start to warm up immediatly and depending how high you crank the thermostat they are toasty in a hurry.  I have my gloves split from my jacket and pants,  and use a dual thermostat that way I can control my hands seperate from my body (was suggested by Sarah at Gerbing.  They are great to talk with and can custom do a lot that is not mentioned on their web site.  Will see if I can post a few pics.

how do you connect the gloves to the seperate controller? i t owuld be nice to controll them seperatley but i dont want a rats nest of wires

[mr_magoo]

The wire for the gloves is with the wiring inside the liner (you don't notice them at all) and has about 6in hanging at the end of the sleeve to plug the glove into.

Neil, I saw the answer to that on their web site.  The circuits to the gloves are in the jacket or jacket liner.  But the jacket can be made so that those circuits are either serial or parallel to the jacket circuit.  You just tell them which way you want it made.

Anyone out there in CVO land have experience with these guyz products ? They look reasonable, but not the big name brand or OEM for someone it seems.

I feel that all of the good has been said about the heated clothing it surely has made my last 10 plus years of riding more pleasurable. Being from the east I take an electric liner with me in the summer for those cool evening in the Rockies. My riding buddies laughed at me on a trip to Sturgis a few years back until it got in the high 40s one morning. At that point I was afraid one, of them was going to steal my bike for the electrical connection, & the liner off my back. Thank God they remembered I do not get mad I just get even, & time is on my side. You can guess what they do now.

Now I'm confused........is the control for the gloves in the gloves or at the connection in the jacket or liner?  Is this whole heated clothing issue a personal preference deal or is there really a definitive way to go?  Brand/style/etc.  I'm thinking about making the plunge from 'bundling layers' to 'heated', but just not sure after reading the different opinions.   :-/   I know this crowd's not bashful   , so let's hear it.  Har!  spyder

I ordered the jacket liner and gloves Friday from the dealer.  It was Veterns Day and the discount for Vets was 20%.  When it comes in, I'll let you know.  I worry about getting off the bike and frogetting I'm plugged in to the bike.  That is why I didn't order the pant liner.  Afraid of getting a snuggy.

[spydglide]

Hey CrawDaddy, that's neat that the dealer had a 20% off for Vets on VetDay.  Which dealer was it?    [smiley=nixweiss.gif] spyder
