Gerbings, Warm N safe, tourmaster.... they are all good, and do the trick.... but they should come with a warning.... thy are "gateway" gear.... sure you start nice and easy, a pair of heated gloves.... "what's the harm?" you ask...
Then the controller, soon the jacket liner.... maybe the socks, maybe the over pants, then to dual controller... and you're hooked.... another heated gear junkie.... soon you're getting the other kids to try them....
oh the horror!!!!

I have a set of Gerbings G3; really nice gloves. My wife bought me a pair of heated gloves from a company WarmGear from Cozy Winters; DO NOT BUY THOSE!! They are low quality and the sizing is all wrong; company is a pain to deal with too. Just go with Gerbings or the HD which is made by Gerbings and you'll be good.

Started with Gerbing glove liners, worked great, stepped up to T5’s during Daytona Bike week because it was a pain getting double gloved. My suggestion go direct to gloves, you won’t regret it. Far superior and much more convenient.

+1 Gerbing
Gerbing Jacket liner, Gerbing G3 Gloves, and a dual controller!
I ride all year round and love it! Last year my Jacket lost the heat in the right arm. Sent it to Gerbing and they fixed it free of charge!

I have the tourmaster gloves ( and chap liners and the jacket lol) I agree once you get the gloves you'll get the rest . I was like oh just the gloves and within the next two weeks i bought the rest.

When i need a new pair of gloves i will get gerbings . Tourmasters gloves have NO wire in the thumbs and you can tell. I hear gerbings have the thumbs heated to.

Ride Safe and Warm :-)

Default I have both wired and rechargeable

The battery powered ones have 4 settings that start at 25%-50%-75& and 100% I set mine at 50% and get over 6 hours of a nice even warmth, so I can say with direct experience that they are very bit as good as the gerber wired without the wire hassles. Having said that, one thing they will do is cause my hands to perspire a little bit. haven't gotten that with the Gerbers. You need to let them dry out overnight or during recharge. Ir you get the wired ones then make sure you get a temperature controller.

Gerbings jacker liner and G3 gloves with dual temp controller here. Technology is wonderful. I don't know if it is available yet, but Gerbings is developing some stuff that has a rechargeable battery in it that charges while you are riding and then you can stay warm for up to two hours when you are off of the bike.

I love mine here in MN! My only complaint is that it takes a little forethought to get the wires run through my jacket, and as mentioned they are a little bulky. Maybe I need to get the jacket liner so I don't have to run the wires...yeah, that's it, just the jacket liner THEN I'll quit...maybe the pants...
