Default Heated Gear

Best investment made! I rode from Northern Vt to Southern Vt on Wednesday night and was comfortable. Gerbing inner jacket, HD gloves and those little toe warmer packs and I'll be able to get down into the teens.

Me too Skoot...I always said Naw...it ain't that cold until i tried heated socks n gloves in the NC mountains at 17 degrees and then i said OOOOH! Yeah!!!! One time i had to stop in Burlington at a truck stop on my way to the hills to buy a Microfiber blanket and cut it up to stuff in my pant legs to stay warm...worked/...

Cant tell you how much i love and use mine. Had the jacket liner, gloves, and socks. Leaving on a week long trip to Wisc on monday and will take off about 430 am and temps to be 40 before windchill factor. Wouldnt need them on this trip but did just buy a set of Gerbing heated overpants and so anxious to give them a whirl, at least til the sun comes up. And this winter...the riding continues!!!
