Look I'm not going into a long dissertation here but let me just say a word about heated riding gear. I was a nay sayer before thinking it can't really be that much better. In a word, IT IS. It is one of the single best investments I have ever made. Continually I leave the house when it's 18 degrees and ride 23 highway miles to work at 70mph. Honest to god I do not even get chilled, not in the least bit. If I can sway just one person to buy and try. It's worth it. Trust me.
I went with First Gear jacket liner (not vest) and heated gloves and then I bought a pair of Gerbings foot insoles. All these plugs are compatable, just plug together and then into the battery tender plug and whamo. just like sitting on the couch under a blanket.
im one for only riding in bare minimal. no matter where i ride im in jeans and a tshirt or a vest and at most a hoodie. just what im comfy in. baught a harley heated vest. installed it on my crossbones. ill tell ya what. best money ive spent in forever. the vest looks like a normal vest. so its cool looking and second. if you leave it on high your so hot you end up unzipping it a lil to vent yourself. stuff is amazing. im hot even when im in the vest with nothing over it. on cold days put a hoodie over the vest. and its like your under an electric blacket on your bed. amazing stuff.
I have a suggestion. If the sleeve length works for you, I recommend buying one size down on the heated liner. You want it to fit snug aginst your body to get the maximum benefit out of the heated gear.
Agreed. My jacket liner fits like a glove. No excess room but yet does not restrict any movement. 18 degrees and all I wear is a lightweight long sleeve tee shirt, the heated liner and my leather jacket. Used to be I’d be so bundled up it got to the point where I could honestly hardly move, walk or turn to look for traffic. Not anymore.
I get cold hands really easily and I truly love my heated gloves. I also bought the First Gear liner, but I don't need it most mornings. If it's over 55, I wear regular gloves. Under that, the heated ones come out. I agree, they're worth every penny.
