Harley VS Gerbings
I was wondering about the Harley heated jacket liners with gloves Vs Gerbings Heated liners. I was told that gerbings made Harleys liners ? I dont know if this is true or not. I've found some places where I can get wa good price but if anyone knows where I can get a better price I would be greatful.
I know Gerbings sells a duel controller for $99. Seams a little high. I read a review on webbikeorld and it didnt have to much good to say about the gerbings. does anyone have Harleys heated liners that can give a review ?

Based on my recent experience, I think Gerbings makes at least some of the heated gear for HD. We had a 150 mile Fall Color chapter ride scheduled for a day with projected highs of 40 degrees, with rain predicted. It actually turned to snow about half way through, but thats another story.
I bought a set of the Harley heated gloves (part number 98323-09VM/002L) and the wiring harness included in the kit had Gerbings tags on it.

Tri First gear or Warmnsafe ...www.cozywinters.com ....Gerbing make a good product... don't believe all the BS you hear...they sell so much of it that they will have more complaints...Make sure you buy it from a reputable retailer as the warranty will be void if you don't. Ask me how i know....

I researched the various brands and decided to go with Warm N' Safe (Heat Troller).
HERE is a site with links to nearly all of the heated gear options.
When the temp drops here (Jan/Feb) I will write a review of the performance. In the meantime, I can tell you that the quality of the liner I purchased is very good. Finish and zippers are excellent. The wiring and connections are sturdy and well re-enforced at the exit points. All of the connection points are long enough to allow ample "Working Room". The liner is heavy, as you might expect with electric wiring inside. It is not bulky and fits nicely under my jackets, this was a concern as I ain't gettin any thinner.
Which ever brand you select be sure to get a snug / tight fit on the liner. They work better when closer to the body.

All my gear got snugger last year...May be because i ate too much steak n potatoes....BTW, i have warm n safe glove liners and socks...worked good but the liners right next to the skin are a bit warm....that is why i bought some gerbings gloves...I have a gerbing dual controller but i will buy a warm n safe one because i can get just as good of a deal.

Gerbings Makes the HD heated gear. Difference, is with HD, any problem.... you return to the dealer, who contacts the warehouse, who contact Gerbings, while you WAIT....
with Gerbings, YOU contact them, and get the gear replaced, in 1/4 the time.
For better prices, check out http://heatedclothingoutlet.com/index.shtml if they have your size... you'll save a bundle. I have the Warm n Safe dual controller.... for $99 it's well worth it.
On the down side..... Gerbings dosen't have the Bar and Sheild logo..... which seems to be very important for many...

The good thing about ordering Gerbings stuff direct is you can get it custom fit if you need it for no extra charge.
