Well, the liners I got have a Warm & Safe label sewn into them with their logo embroidered on them. As for the nearness to the skin, both the liners and the gloves are right next to my skin. The main difference between the two is what is on the back side of my hands and on the outside of the liners. I think the Gerbings have a gore-tex layer inside them, which blocks wind and water, but still 'breathes', and that could keep the cold out and the heat in better than simple leather gauntlets.

I use to put the wireless remote 2 stage controller in the windshield pouch. Now I stick it on the outside of the pouch with Velcro so it's easy to reach and adjust. Don't really adjust too much, but have on occasion.

I zip tied my old wired type pouch to the handle bar by the clutch lever. If I leave the bike I just take out the controller and stick it in my pocket or saddlebag. It was too deep for the new controller so I made a small block of wood to sit in the bottom of the pouch and lift the unit to the correct height. The wireless is great.

Can you tell me what all I need to buy to have it set up like you did? I'm going to buy Gerbing gear and the bluetooth. I'm not sure how you got away with not hardwiring. I thought that meant a harness from the battery to the gear or are you talking about a hardwired controller/thermostat?

Here is a number I have used for Gerbings. (336) 904-9432. Best bet would be to call them so you get exactly what you need. I have the wireless setup on my older bike and I do have it hard wired to the battery. The dual remote controller I have attached semi permanently to my fairing.

If you are asking someone a question it is best to quote them or at least use their username when you post.

If you get a glove liner instead of a heated glove, make sure it heats on top and bottom of the hands... I had a liner way back from warm n safe and it only heated the top of my hands... No Bueno... I have a pair of Gerbings and a pair of HD with the control button on the glove itself... I like that...
I have a couple of dual controllers but the new liner and gloves from HD don't need them,. it has the click button on both...
The newer HD stuff is the best I have ever had as far as evenly distributing the heat.

I have 3 pairs of heated gloves but would be curious what you are talking about. Would you mind posting a link?

I just looked on the HD website and it's no longer available I guess. I bought it 2 years ago.. The glove plugs into the hard wired cable on the bike and you can either use the button switch on the glove itself or the controller it can also be plugged into the liner and the liner also has a click button on it or you can also use the controller, you just leave them set on high and adjust them with the controller if you want.
