I went with the Firstgear heated stuff, jacket liner, pants liner, heated gloves and heated socks. Works perfectly, was affordable, can't ask for more.

 

 

I was looking at the Motoport stuff.

Looks like long underwear with the sock connections down mid shin.

Anyone give this stuff a go? I run their raingear, good stuff, custom lengths. [good for the short fat kids...]

I use Gerbing, at half the cost of HD stuff made by Gerbing, and Gerbing has a longer warranty.

I use a heated jacket liner, and heated over pants, with heated gloves and a dual temp controller.

 

Dont pass by the Hot Wired stuff without a look. great value and their controller is super easy to use without a bunch of wires to manage.

 

I never heard of heated overpants only liners but I have never used lower heat. I wouldn't think that they would do much good on top of whatever regular pants you have on underneath them. The closer heated gear is to you the better it works, IMHO. I put my heated gear on before the ride not during and turn it on or off when needed and would do the same with pant liner/socks. All Gerbing stuff that I have seen now is Gerbings by Gyde but I read that the family has maintained the business somehow since it was sold. Warm and Safe is highly regarded and I am going to buy some of their gloves soon to replace an old pair of Gerbings that a wire is starting to poke through. When you look at controllers consider going BT. I would never go back to the other controller. Regardless, aside from having to put all the crap on, I enjoy riding in the winter as long as roads are ice free and for me temps no lower than around 30 now that I am in upper 60s. I don't worry about the road stuff--rinseless car wash is easy and quick enough to get the rough stuff off once in a while. I hope that you enjoy the extra ride time. I wouldn't be surprised if you wished that you had done it sooner. Unplug the tender, plug in the gear and hit it.

 

I still have the old Gerbing stuff and it still works good. See below..

"Gerbing" is not the Gerbing of old. Sold to a venture capitalist and move to North Carolina.
