Default Gerbing jacket liner question
Mine arrived today, just in time for me to go riding in the snow in Germany!!

Quick question I am hoping someone with experience with the liner can answer. I am flying out to Germany so need to pack this in my suitcase. I can feel all sorts of wires and things in there so a bit concerned that if I fold to tight the various heated sections can move around inside the lining and ultimately end up in the wrong position

Any experience?

Never been my experience. I have stuffed mine into more saddlebags than I care to count. Ball it up, shove it between things.. still works like new.

I have stuffed mine into some pretty tight places too and never had an issue.

Roll it up and stuff it in. Shouldn't be a problem.

I'd put it on top though. Not because of the concerns listed, I'm sure TSA may want to take a closer look.
Might look to them like a suicide bomber jacket.
Just saying.

Great feedback, thanks guys. Theatons comment makes me rethink the option of wearing it on the flight, that thought never occurred to me :-)

Gerbings website says you can roll it as tight as you can get it and it will fine.
