Default Heated Gear

I just purchased a jacket liner, and gloves from Gerbing, and I have to say I wish I’d done it years ago. Man-o-man what a difference. It was 25 deg. F when I left the house on a little cruise (50 miles) just to test them out. And I must say they were flawless. Had to even turn down the temps on them they were very warm. I’m going back to order there heated pants soon. It was a trip to ride (on dry roads) with a little snow on the ground.
The look on people’s faces when I rode by them was well worth the cost. My legs and feet got pretty cold though.

Have any of you used battery heated socks and what should I be looking for in them? Gerbings is discontinuing there socks for some reason or I would get theirs. Or if you have/had them do they work as good as everything else? Thanks in advance for any input.

I have a pair of heated socks from www.cozywinters.com
and like them very much. I have gloves from gerbings. Like you, wish I had bought them years ago. I have found that with thermals on under jeans with leather chaps on, my legs don't really get cold with heated socks. YMMV. Hope this helps.
