Good job but you should not have had to do that. The gloves should have worked as advertised.

I agree, but I had them longer than 30 days so I couldn't return them for a refund, nor did venture heating respond to my emails

So I cannot recommend them to any other user. To bad as I like the design.

I have always had good results from Watm & Safe. Never had one of their controllers fail and used thier gear for years. I also like the fact that they have an upgrade program, it save me a little when I need to replace gear.

Smart fix. Make same wary thoguh, especially since they did not return your request for contact. I lived in Seattle and used to go down the Oak Harbor straight to gerbering (makes them for Harley).

Do you have a pulse thermostat with those or is it digital. or just an on/off?

Not a good design, but glad you got it fixed. Not very fun when heated gear cuts out on a long cold ride.

Andwye,
No pulse unit, The controller is built into the glove. A button the top lets you select "hi", "med" and "low"

I thought the design was novel, each item has a controller built in, so no extrenal controller is needed. but it seems to be the flaw if the voltage cant run over 13.8 and a harley charging system is 14.4+

Interesting. Saves money on a separate controller, although in my experience, I have the gloves cranked usually.

Nice thinking on the fix.

I though it was a good Idea, now that I have the voltage situation sorted out I will get some use on them.

All of there gear has a controller built in.

Default *** Update ***

I sent them another email today expressing my dissatisfaction, and I got back an email asking me if I received any "voltage regulators" Hmm.

They are sending them out today. I will update you when I receive them.

Maybe there is hope for this company yet
