Contemplating getting the bride a heated jacket liner and was leaning toward the Gerbings.  Interested to hear what heated gear you've purchased and where you purchased it from.  I'm a little ignorant on the subject.

Very happy with the HD heated jacket liner. It has built in cords for heated gloves. With a two-control thermostat (also HD) you can set separate temps for gloves and jacket liner.

I am interested too

Gerbing makes the HD stuff. You can get it at 20% off dealers. Buying direct from Gerbing usually means a better warranty, but you pay list for the clothes. Sometimes you have a problem dealing wih Gerbing, if you bought the stuff elsewhere. Not sure how long HD gives ya, but you deal with HD, not Gerbing.

Hoist!

Gerbing gives a life time if purchased thru and authorized Gerbing dealer. 

Wife gets a very good discount at HD dealer as she is an employee.  Yet at the local Gerbing dealer we could get their stuff for much less then HD.

HD gloves, 165, with discount they were 115, the Gerbing gloves were 105.  Pants and jacket liner were also less thru local gerbing dealer.

I understand the Gerbings sizing is not what you think?    is it bigger or smaller than what is advertised?    Having her try it on before Christmas is not an option,  she's high maintenance and likes to be surprised.    If her leather Jacket is an XL currently,  do I get a XL liner or do I go with a L liner?

I've emailed Gerbings but it doesnt look like they're going to respond.

Sizing is odd.. but I can't remember as to large/smaller. On the jacket liner, there are usually 3 ? measurements that are needed. You should be able to find the requirements for measuring on the gerbing site. I remember getting the instructions off the site, taking the measurements, and then calling them up with the order.

I have the heated liner, pants, and socks. I've always dealt directly with gerbing..... great quality..... great customer service.

Good Luck

Gerbings makes the HD heated stuff. Theirs is better and cheaper. I have gotten mine here:

I've bought all my recent Gerbing stuff (1 full suit plus a few extras) from Mike Vlahos at http://www.heatedclothing4you.com/

He is the #1 Gerbing retailer and is extremely diligent about it.  He will talk to you on the phone as you take measurements he directs, in order to make sure you get the proper fit.  He helps Gerbing with the designs, so he is extremely knowledgeable about the product.  I highly doubt you'll get him to give you 20% off, but he will give you better customer service than you will get anywhere else.  Personally, I'd rather have the right fit than the lowest price.

HD heated gear is made by Gerbing coupled with a big fat mark up.

You can call Gerbing directly, to talk to them about sizing.

After doing research for about three months, I went with Gerbing. I bought it at the local BMW dealership due to it being more affordable there and the fact that they carry a full line in stock.  We were able to try everything on right there in the store.

I also bought a couple of the BMW style recepticles and had a bracket made that's mounted to the frame under the seat, to plug in to.

  A big thank you to all of you!

Make sure and get the new micro wire stuff or look for those selling the old stuff very cheap.  I'm sending a new liner from my jacket and they are adding heat to it, just another idea available.
