I have the HD heated jacket and pants, they work great no issues are made by gerbings so that brand would be good too.. Jacket usually gets too hot, usually i just use the pants

Can't go wrong with Gerbing's. I also had great luck with BMW heated gear and I have a pair of Widder heated chaps but it looks like Widder may be out of business.

You can't go wrong with Gerbing. I have had the jacket liner and gloves for 10 years now and never a problem. They are guaranteed for life.

Stay warm

Gerbings full jacket liner. Great product. Warm right up to your neck and down your arms. Connections for gloves on sleeves. The company is great too. Made me a custom jacket liner because the neck was a bit too tight. I understand the new stuff is even better with the microwire system.

Another vote for Gerbings, just make sure you save enough to get the theromstat 'cause it gets really warm. One other one I've heard really good things about is Warm n safe, but by than I was into the Gerbings line.

Get a Gerbings and you can get the gear significantly cheaper than Harley. Get the jacket liner, not the vest, because then you have glove connections right at the sleeves. Also, be sure and get the dual controller - it is definitely worth the extra cash. My wife and I both got Gerbings jacket liners, gloves and controllers last year and I wonder now what we were waiting for.
