And it is working just fine for me. I am glad yours works well for you. If mine ever fails me, I will be sure to consider your suggestion.

I rode about 250 miles yesterday. It was in the upper 20's when I left Charlotte early in the morning & about the same latter on in the day on the Blue Ridge Parkway. I have the Gerbing pants, socks & gloves. I've never had Warmsafe, but I definately don't think Gerbins suck. Actually I'm very satisfied with them. I ride a EG so I really don't need too much upper body protection. Yesterday I just wore a thin pair of thermals under the pants. I put on jeans under the electric pants if the temps get in the teens.
Can you be more specific about what features you do not like about the Gerbings?

did a ride friday night when the temps dropped into the low 30's. wasnt too bad but i need to rethink my strategy and buy some better head and hand gear as the cold wind really did a number on my hands and face but the rest of my body was fine just wearing leather.

Those of you who are using the Harley and Gerbing gear, do you have to have the temperature controller to use it?
I don't see a termperature controller on the Harley website, but I do see it on the Gerbing site. [&:]

I use the dual contoller. One **** for the gloves & one for the pants/socks. Full power is too hot in most conditions.

Question of quality & watts. Your Gerbing only pulls 77 watts vs 100 against the Warmnsafe jacket. You cannot turn the Warmnsafe all the way on and stay in it. It is that warm! Lot of people have major complaints with customer service at Gerbing. Take a gerbing out on a 30 degree day with only a t-shirt under it and you'll freeze. GL with whatever you buy.
