Or once you know the size you need come back home and order it on the internet if you can get a better deal. :2vrolijk_21:

Just bought a lthr. jacket from Fox Creek  and, of course, it was too small.  So, I called them and they put the next size up in the mail before I even returned the 1st one.  I had it the next day.  Now, that's the way it should go.  (unfortunatly, I just noticed in the Vendor Section that I could have gotten a 10% discount as a site member......my bad.)   :'( aaaaargh. Nice jacket with armor and lots of 'features'.  Already got it soaked and broken in.  har!   :drink: spyder

DO NOT EXPECT THAT KINDA SERVICE FROM GERBING'S! ;)

According to UPS, Gerbing's won't receive my liner til 1/5/09. Gerbing's won't ship the new until the old is received, AND IS CHECKED BACK IN BY THEM AT THEIR CONVENIENCE! Unless you wanna pay for another one! And I had to pay the 12 bucks return shipping to boot! Oh well, just gotta get thru this now. But I'd never buy anything from them again, that's fer damn sure!!! STG!!! :smilie_daumenneg:

Well it took from 11/21 til today to get the gloves and liner from Gerbing. The new G3's seem much better and have larger gauntlets than the previous version I hated. Hopefully these will feel right for me. Their liner sizing tables need to get redone too. I measured myself while on the phone ordering from them, and went thru all the sizing with them while on the phone. The liner is WAY too small, even though it was in accordance with their sizing guide. I now have to return it, and they'll send out a larger one after they receive this one back. ::)

So all in all, go to a store to buy your heated gear. Don't go thru all the BS I just did to get a stupid set of gloves and a liner. It's not worth all the BS. Go to a store, pick what you want, try it on and MAKE SURE IT FITS, and buy it. I went thru way too much grief just to get this stuff. Definitely not worth it, nor are they the easiest to deal with. I thought I was on the phone with Corbin!!! :nixweiss:

Howie, did the same with my liners - got XL and they have stretched to fit me better.  Seem REALLY tight at first, now they are spot on.

The liner I got is a bit large, need a sweat shirt over it to really feel the heat.  But with my FXRG over it was good in the low 20's this am riding to work.

They are bad about b/o's at Gerbings, but their products are top notch.

They already were offering a $25 coupon for future purchases on this deal, so, I don't figure that it was too bad a oversight.  As nice as they're stuff is and great customer service.....I'll be doing biz w/ them in the future.  Next time, I'll know.  :-[ har!  :drink: spyder

Went for a ride on New Year's day.  It was 24F and I had my G. jacket liner under FXRG leather and gloves.  When I got back home an hour later, I was warm except my eye balls were freezing.  I rode over 50 miles and didn't see a single bike.  I guess not every one likes "The Frosty Balls" ride.

Hey Hunter, what type boots/socks did you use to keep the feet warm?  Might try goggles to keep the eyeballs warmer?  ;) har. spyder

regular white cotton socks and my hunting boots, Garhartt flan. lined jeans and rain pants.
The glove liners and leather gloves are very bulky,  I'd rather have heated gloves and not screwing with liners.   :nixweiss:

I had to share this site, This is a neat web site with all kinds of BMW style power outlet accessories for those converting heated clothing to this preferred method. They even have some neat adapt cables for the Garmin Zumo and I-Pod and other electrical stuff :2vrolijk_21:

I guess it would help if i included the link to the site.. sorry folks.. here it is:
