I have the jacket liner and heated glove liners with dual controllers. Used them for years and they are plenty under a rain jacket or perhaps a thick leather coat when it REALLY gets cold. I'm not much for the pant liners, but I do see the heated soles in my future too.

They have the same warranty as Gerbing.
Lifetime on elements, one year on textile.

First I bought a heated vest, then a jacket liner. The jacket liner is much warmer. The vest is good for those riding bikes with low alternator outputs, but that is not the case with your bike.
Gerbing's customer service seems good. Lifetime warranty on the wiring and they're repairing my liner even though I don't have the receipt.
Another company with good heated gear is www.warmnsafe.com. They're the original inventor of the heat controller, and they have a really nice remote heat controller that eliminates the wire between the heat controller and the jacket. You just mount the controller on your bike (on top of the brake fluid reservoir for example), and the remote sender unit stays in your jacket pocket. Works great. Register on the site, log in and you'll get a significant price discount.

I have the Gerbings jacket liner and gloves. The jacket liner works so well I have only used the gloves two times in the 6 years I've owned them. The theory is that if the blood circulating throughout your body stays warm (from the jacket liner) your fingers should stay warm as well. Just make sure you get the double adjustable thermostat so that if you do use the gloves and the jacket together, you can adjust each separately.

I have the Extreme Element jacket and overpants, G3 gloves, heated insoles, and the dual controller. I rode for hours last winter at temperatures below 20 degrees.
I also have the heated socks, should have tried them on before I bought them. The heating elements make it impossible for me to stand up and walk. The insoles are a better solution. I have a jacket liner that's very nice, but having the waterproof heated jacket is better for me. The T5 gloves weren't available when I purchased, but they're less bulky and waterproof.
Riding at 65mph when it's 30 degrees out gives you a wind chill of around 8 degrees. With the setup I have, I never feel the cold. My hat's off to people who say they can stay warm with just a jacket liner. I'm not one of them.

I have the Glove liners from Warm n safe and Classic Gerbring gloves...I will save the liners for the wife or spare but i wouldn't buy glove liners again...too bulky but they work....I have the old style socks and my buddy has the new style socks...old style makes it hard to walk as you can feel the wires...no problem with the new gerbring ones.....wires are so fine....I Have a goose down filled jacket that will keep me warm to the low single digits so no vest or jacket yet....I would like to have the Union Ridge jacket and pants...For me it would be a good investment.

jacket liner, gloves, and adjustable thermostat. Would not change a thing. with a vest, you still need to snake the wires down the arms to the gloves... with the liner the plugs are at the end of the sleeves... much more convenient.
