Check out suggestions, Gerbings, Gordon's and warm and safe are all good products. Gordon's is made by the original Gerbings family,made in America.Hope this helps

I've been using Harley heated gear for 15 years, works great. Not sure who makes it.

No idea on suggestions, just saying you guys are hardcore. I ride year around and have no problems with it because well, this is Texas. But if it was cold enough to need heated gear, I'd think there would be ice on the road and I ain't man enough to do that on two wheels lol.

Another vote for Gerbing heated gear. I've never used it, but I know people who have, and they speak very highly of it.

Me, I don't use any heated gear. I just layer up and go. Earlier today I went for a ride. Temperature was 12 degrees, and my average speed was 65mph. I have one place I need to cross twice, and that 20 to 25 foot stretch was covered with a thick layer of ice. It's also on a curve. (just slow a bit, line the bike up straight, and cruise right over it while staying steady on the throttle. And don't think about applying the brakes while your on the ice)

The best cold weather gear is to tickets to paradise and getting the hell out of the great white north, did it a few years ago and never going back (at least in the winter).

I picked up a complete set of Mobile Warming gear (socks, gloves, jacket and pants). No issues so far and the pants and jacket are dual power. Lowest temp so far has been 30 degrees at 70 mph. Didn't feel a thing.

The original maker of Gerbings sold the company the father sadly has passed away however the family runs he new company they started. https://www.gordonsheated.com/
Excellent to deal with. Another thing to note is they are made in the USA
