Anyone use the Gerbing 12 volt insoles? Will they keep the toes warm as well as the heated socks? I have the socks and they are uncomfortable and I am looking for an alternative.

 

the insoles seem to keep my feet warm, although I've never tried the socks.

 

One of my friends just purchased pair of heated soles (not Gerbing) that have built-in, rechargeable batteries that are operated with a remote transmitter.


I'm waiting to see how he likes them before I order a pair myself.

 

I have the Gerbings soles. Mine work fine. At the time I purchased mine, the socks were having issues, so I went soles. Pita is running wire down legs. I have the dual variable controller for the gloves and jacket liner and use an off on for the boot soles. Mine live in my winter boots. I have only used them about 4 or 5 times, as on a trip to Winthrop, I picked up a pair of black neoprene boots. With the liner pumping heat into my body, and the neoprene boots insulating my feet and the use of lowers on the hwy bars, I just don't use them anymore. I call my boots muck boots as they were designed for dairy farmers, but my boots are actually Bogs 7mm Neoprene Classic Ultra High (15"). They have a nifty handle on the boots and you better not wear them when it is above 45F. They are WARM and dry.

 

Never heard of such a thing. I bet the wires are a PIA.

 

The wires are a PIA but no more than the socks.

Yes, the wires are very bit as much as a pita as they were running them down the arms. I purchased the heated jacket liner for that reason and found out that I should have done that at the beginning as the gloves and liner work together for total comfort.

That said, I do not need the heated pants. Even further, the wires down the pants to either socks or soles is a pita...until you need them. Then warm toes make the effort oh so worthwhile. I do not need them asoften now as I use Bogs neoprene boots now until it gets well below freezing, but when heat matters, running the wires is a small price to pay for toasty toes. It seemed more of a pita to run the wires down your arms than down the legs. Perhaps that is because I remove my jacket more often than my pants!
