RE: electric clothes
I have a Gerbing jacket liner I wear under my leather jacket.
Warm and comfortable. Get it sized to fit somewhat snug and get a controller. It too hot when it's full on.

+1 on Gerbing/HD - Jacket liner/pants liner/gloves - kept me on the road this winter, allowed me to rack up almost 4k on my december bought bike. Of course, VA winter this year relatively mild - global worming you know.

RE: electric clothes
I have the HD jacket and gloves. I prefer the jacket over the vest because it has jacks for the gloves at the end of the sleeves. They allow me to ride all winter, such as it is on the Oregon coast. I'm not too crazy about the gloves. They are so big and bulky I don't feel I have a good grip on the bars. I'm thinking about going with heated grips. I have not felt the need for pants and socks, although I have friends who swear by them. I get by fine with just chaps. Do get a thermostat. Without it you will be constantly turning the gear on and off.

I wear Freedoms stuff. Good quality and the gloves are very light weight.

RE: electric clothes
I was at the dealer today and this monster of a guy was looking for a set of pant liners. He was awfully pissed when they didn't have any in stock. I would like to try a pair but summers coming and I'd rather spend what little money I have else where.

RE: electric clothes
got the jacket and gloves..
get the dual thermostat.. use one for the jacket, other one for the gloves.. jacket's wired to work either way.
got the heated grips on the bike, which kept the palms warm.. but the air flow over the knuckles made em ache, so I broke down and added the gloves.. yeah, they're bulky, but it's a trade off
I got the older "over" pants (not the pants liners).. things are windproof and warm by themselves.. in 2 winters of riding, I haven't turned the heat in em on yet.
