I clip mine to my left jacket pocket for ease of reach/adjustment.

Velcro to upper leg just above my knee.   Easy to get to all the time.

I've tried several location but one day I found the best place by shear luck. My leather jacket has a snap at the bottom of the zipper. When the zipper is up I just snap the wire to the jacket. It's in the best possible location, any extra wires can be stuffed under the jacker and it easy to connect when I get on the bike.

The jacket I pull over the jacket liner has hand pockets on the front.  I clip the controller over the lip of the left pocket.  The knobs stick up for access that is as easy as it's going to be wearing gloves and I can adjust it at will going down the road as temps change.

That works for me too.....

I brought my Jacket to a leather store and had them cut a slot in the side of the jacket and reinforce the cut to slide the clip in. I always had trouble keeping the controller in the side pocket.   Billy

I have a belt pouch and clip it on to my chaps where it is easily accessible.

Why not just add a snap too the leg of your chaps or any riding gear and put the other part of the snap on your clip of the holder? I would think any repair shop could do this. I know my dealer has the tool to replace snaps with, just drill the right size of hole on the clip and place the hole in your riding pants. Have them crimp the snaps you should be good to go

I use the left leg of my chaps. Easy access while riding and is right there when I unplug.

I recently purchased a Gerbing jacket liner and gloves. Love em. But at first found controlling them with the dual controller you guys are talking about a little clumsy at best. Even with the $11 belt clip. I initially put it on my belt on my left side and had to leave the bottom of my jacket tucked up over the top so I could access the controls. So I started thinking about an alternative way to utilize this controller WITHOUT hard mounting anything to the bike. What I came up with in my head was a strip of elastic (black of coarse) and some velcro to sew on, for a quick release setup. And wear it on my left leg for easy access. Great idea right?
So when I was at Wally World last week I decided to look into this. I went to the sporting goods dept. and found one of those 70's black terry cloth head bands to cut and attatch the velcro to. So... off to the fabric dept. I go to find some velcro. What I found on the wall there in the velcro section was a two pack of 28" x 1" black elastic pre-made strips of velcro, with a plastic hoop at one end to loop the other end through, so it's adjustable to any size! And guess what? The price was under $6.00 for both!
I used this setup the other day and it worked flawlessly. The whole thing just pops into your saddle bag when you stop.
When I saw this thread I had to share this info. Unfortunately, I've already tossed the packaging, and don't remember the name on it. Maybe if one of you goes in and picks this up you could post a picture.
Hope this info helps with what seems to be an all too common issue.

Merry Christmas!

   same here.  Easy to reach for temp adjustment.

Talking about Velcro, I came across this stuff.  It's velcro on both sides of the strip, with hooks on one side and loops on the other, so it will stick to itself.  You can make loops of any size just by cutting a piece off the roll.  I use it to make "re-openable" tie-wraps, cable wraps, wire guides and harnesses.

I use the wireless Powerlet dual controller. Put it where you want to, dash, pocket, velcro'd to leg, arm, seat, whatever. Works slick! JC said Gerbing is a few months away from introducing their own wireless controllers. I have Gerbing gear and the Powerlet works fine.
