Someone PLEASE correct me if I am wrong but I was under the impression that the HD heated gloves were made by Gerbing. After starting another thread about how the soles of my last HD boots are wearing fast someone suggested they may be made in China. Checked the label and sho the fruk does say made in China. So as I can not find Gerbing anywhere on the gloves I bought nor the documentation, the label says MADE IN CHINA!!!!!! Guess I will call Gerbing now.

Heated insoles...
I think someone else mentioned these also. Might be worth a shot. I bought some heated socks a few years back from the local BMW dealer and have been very happy with them. As long as the fingers and toes stay warm I can ride all day at around 25-30 degrees outside.

I started out in the old day's with Thinsulate stuff and just bundling up. Had an old HD snowmobile suit. I used to alternate my hand's down on the heads to keep them from going numb! Then I added a pair of Widder 12 volt Electric gloves that ran off the bike and a pair of some off brand Hunting socks that used 9 volt transistor radio battery's. The gloves were an improvement, but the socks would get too hot, and you had to unplug them, and turn the gloves off and on to controll the heat. I now have most of the Gerbing's gear.
I went with the New Micro wire stuff they have out. I have the jacket liner and it is good, but then I bought the Extreme pant's and the Extreme Jacket and the T-5 Gloves. I had to buy a pair of socks from another supplier (warm & safe) because Gerbings didn't have them yet, but they will very soon so I'm told. The socks plug directly into the pant's. Everything plugs into each other. I use the dual controller and it works well. I would like to try the foot liners and see how they do as opposed to the socks. I wear a Warmskin hood/mask (Pharoh) or a Firefighter Nomex hood under my Super Sear half shell Police Helmet and small goggles. Works well.
I ride No matter how cold or windy, as long as it isn't snowing or sleeting. I do ride in the snow, but I don't start out in it. Only if I get caught and have get back.
With the heated gear I can ride all day and it is comfortable even at 70 mph and wind chill's below 0. If your going to buy, I would suggest going with the newer Microwire gear. What a difference this stuff makes. This stuff isn't cheap, but it's better than freezing your Bunn's off! If your a L.E.O. Gerbing's has a discount program also.
Check out thier site for details. Stay warm & ride safe.
