I live in the Pacific Northwest, and ride all year unless there's ice and snow on the ground. The heated gear is an absolute must! My wife and I have the Gerbing Jackets and gloves. Never felt the need to get the pants. Like Tony said, a thin fleece or the jacket liner over the heated gear helps keep them warmer. We would buy them again in a heartbeat!

Got to use mine for the first time yesterday morning on a PGR mission. Was 37ş when I left the house. First time I was ever comfortable in temps below 40ş. Only thing I don't like is wires all over the place. But being warm I guess makes it okay. Got a controller and had everything working, then started the bike and red light came on. Had to turn controller off and back on to get it working again. Is that normal? I shouldn't have to ask that. It's a Harley so been trained by dealer, of course it's normal. But is it really?

Yup- I got my Gerbing jacket liner & gloves last winter and wondered the same thing- Why the heck did I wait so long?
They are expensive, but worth every penny. No such thing as too cold to ride any more.

I have over a grand invested in Gerbings but that is because my gloves were sent in for warranty work and I bought a second pair when I was on a cold ride. Also started with the boot liners but decided to go with the socks and SOOOOO much warmer. I DO NOT get cold!!!!!

Worth every penny. I've had it almost 4 years now. Just yesterday, put on the plug-in on my recently traded for Ultra. I've had it on both bikes. I took a full speed interstate 65 mile ride on the Sporty no less with temps in single digits. I was toasty warm.

Gerbing sells a cig lighter adapter plug with the disclaimer that the socket must be able to carry 15 amp current.
