I have the complete Gerbings setup, Love it, best investment I've made as for riding motorcycles. I have the Jacket liner, pants liner, socks and gloves, also the controller.
Expensive, yeah, but it's a one time investment, lifetime warranty from Gerbings....

Just got my Gerbings heated jacket liner and controller installed last week.

Went to work the next day 40 miles of interstate at 19 degrees. Awsome.

Widder heated gear is great, but they are closing down... you might find a deal on them
Tourmaster has come out with heated gear, for alittle less cost
Gerbing is what I use... and I like them....and they come with a LIFETIME guaranty (they make the HD brand heated gear... same quality.. you just have to pay more, if you want to display the logo)

(hate to sound like a advert but....)

http://www.grandprixmotorsports.com/eshopdetail_cat_2299.Gerbings_Catalogs_.htm

Gran prix motorsports in Littleton Colorado has a 20% off sale onGerbings..... oh??they're customer service is kinda slow...they take the orders, then order stock.... some items take longer than others
Discount code GERB001 thats (GERB zero zero one)

I just bought a heated vest and gloves and tried them for the first time yesterday. The temps were in the low 40's and I felt comfortable. I might invest in heated socks if I continue to ride in the cold. I don't ride if there is snow or ice and salt on the ground mainly so as not to destroy the bike.

+1 Gerbings.com
I had them when I road my Softail hands down the best investment! I have jacket liner, Their actual pants, socks and gloves easily elongates the riding season in the Midwest by 90 days!
