Ok dad's looking to buy some gerbing heated clothing gloves, jacket, pants.

Need your guys help on what to get?

Where the best prices are?

Anything in accessories that he will need?

Any and all information will be great hes looking to move on this soon as he has some riding to do during the cold months including going to daytona.

 

You'll have to shop around. Gerbings is the brand you want. Prices vary where ever you shop. I use the jacket liner and gloves. Nice for the ride to Daytona in March. I bought the dual controller. Not necessary riding 1 up.
Good Luck.

 

You'll want to get the dual controller too.

 

Gerbing is the way to go I have the Dual controller, G3 gloves, and the jacket liner.Less than a week went by and the wife had to have them for her bike as well..I found it interesting that Gerbing makes all of the Harley heated gear but Gerbing does not sell Womans Gloves, but does make them for Harley..Go figure

 

what is the dual controller for?

Is there different jackets that perform differently or work better in the gerb line up of jackets and pants? Like higher watt and lower watt etc.

Most find they set the temps a bit higher for the gloves then they would for the jacket. Setting a single controller for both the gloves and jacket normally results in the gloves being too cold or the jacket way too hot.

As a side note, I had both the Gerbing jacket and gloves and found that my regular insulated non-electric jacket worked just fine. So I only use the heated gloves and finally sold the jacket.

You might be very surprised at how well just heating the hands are for keeping the rest of the body warm too.

Good luck!

 

I didn't realize it at the time but the pant's liner (as opposed to the outerwear type) is not designed to be worn under denim. Should be worn under something more wind resistant.

If I had it to do over I think I would've gone with the G-3 gloves which are not as bulky. I went with the Classics because the clerk said they were warmer. Bet the G-3s would've been fine.

The sizing chart/formula at Gerbing seems to be fairly accurate, but we were glad we had a brick and mortar store in our area that had a good selection for trying on. None of the HD dealers had a decent selection but we found a bmw/duck dealer that did.

Haven't had a chance to try out our heated insoles yet but everything else including the dual controller works great. Definitely big $$$, especially when you're buying for two but well worth it if you want to ride year round in the NE w/o looking like an eskimo.

 

I just got a set a few weeks ago. I bought the jacket liner, G5 gloves (the newest model), dual controller, and a leather holster for the controller. The gloves and controller were bought direct from Gerbings. The jacket came from here: http://heatedclothingoutlet.com/index.shtml

 

+1. Better than any retail store
