[Buy early]

Getting ready to make a heated clothing purchase and have read most of the threads. Just interested in quickly polling those of you who have used these products for a while.

The HD version is from Gerbing with an HD logo.

Thanks dereck, I didn't know that. That's what's so great about this forum. Do you know, are the plugs and accessories compatible as well?

  Yes they are the same.. You can usually get 10 or 20 % off on sale days from Harley . I could not find any discounts on Gerbing.   Billy

I just received my Exo Stormrider jacket...

It only has a heated panel across the back/kidneys and warmer pockets.  Wore it under a sweatshirt the other night in the low 50's and I was good to go.

Will see how it goes when it gets colder.

Been using Gerbing for 3 seasons. The G3 gloves are excellent if you don't have heated grips. I have only used the pants 2 times when it was in the mid 30's, use the liner jacket under leathers with a Under Armor medium or heavy weight top frequently, never uncomfortable since. Excellent service and waranty. I needed a plug and they sent it no charge. Definately recommend getting the BMW sockets and mount them permanently of you are going to use the system more than 2 -3 times a season. Couple of threads to check

As a heads up to any military folks - they (gerbing) offer active duty folks a 15% discount.

I have to check who made mine(company out Manitoba Canada). I've had their jacket liner for 3 years & man is it toasty. Actually too warm whereby I have to use the thermostat to keep the heat down. Heated collar is great . Very even heat everywhere on the liner. THE MUFFMAN

One side consideration though.  Though the same garments the warranty is different.  I think it's 90 days on the electrics from Harley.  It's forever on electrical failure from Gerbing.

The BMW type sockets are very convenient.  A company called Powerlet ( www.powerletproducts.com ) makes bracket and socket kits to mount a hard-mount.  Have that on both the SEEG and the SERG.  The same single socket gets used for heated clothing, battery tender, occasionally for chargers too; just very very convenient and much better than a dangling tender cord.

I believe that Gerbing will warranty the Harley for ever also. that is what I was told 2 yrs ago. But could have changed .     Billy

[MJZ]

I doubt I will ever consider buying any heated gear from any manufacturer other than Gerbing. This is due to their customer service, I have had two issues and they jumped through hoops to make sure I was satisfied. I really don't think I've ever dealt with a better customer service department, they are the best.

Has anyone ever called to verify that? Who's gonna step up to the plate and make a call?

This is only anecdotal.  Not at all confirmed.  But a clerk at the local dealership told me that Harley branded stuff only carried Harley's warranty.  Think that was 90 days.  Doesn't mean that Gerbing might not offer some service purely for the consumer satisfaction.  At least according to the one clerk they're under no obligation to do so though.

I'll call the local shop tomorrow and ask again.  See if the same answer is given.

Powerlet makes GREAT heated clothing too. I bought a jacket liner last year and like it a lot. I had a Widder vest, but it was time for a replacment as I had worn the collar thread bare from all my head turns. The only thing I did NOT like about Gerbing/HD was that I found it to be a bit too bulky under my leather jackets. The Powerlet stuff fits snug, but is not restrictive. It also packs up pretty compact for travel.
