I have the liner jacket, pants, socks and gloves. Work great. I recommend the jacket over the vest because you will need some warmth on the arms. Of course, I use the orange and black perforated leather jacket so when I put on the full heated jacket it acts as a wind breaker under the jacket as well.

Thus I only need the one leather for 4 season riding. (well not in hot summer of course)

I got the heated liner and the g3 gloves today with the dual temp controller, I am not sure how to hook up the y shaped wire for the gloves if I don't use the jacket liner. Do I need to get any additional cables? the y wire that came with the gloves doesn't seem long enough to reach the power.

The first one I got was a Widder vest and loved it. I finally wore the collar out from all my head turns and decided to go with a liner. I looked at the HD/Gerbings and found them a bit too bulky to fit under my leathers. Then I tried the stuff from Powerlet and it to bea comfortable and snug fit. I picked it up along with a thermostat. I am realy happy with it.

Here are some options:

http://www.warmnsafe.com/heated_jacket_liner_specs.php
http://www.powerletproducts.com/shop...ing/HEATCLTHNG

The best thing to do is try them all on under your jacket. Then zip it up and go and sit on a bike. See if it is too bulky, too tight, or makes it difficult to move. If you find one you like, ask yourself if you can wear it for 300-500 miles on a cold day comfortably.

Gook luck!

Gerbins makes good products but they're more expensive.
Yep, looking at the Synergy line too. It has been hard to get Tourmaster in Canada, but recently http://www.gammasales.com/ started caring them.

I can't rule out the HD stuff. Up here the prices aren't that different. Nice to be able to try on and get the right fit too. Plus if I'm dropping that much cash on gear I should be able to get at least 15% on HD gear from the dealer I bought my bike from.

Thanks for the tip skootchnc,

You saved me $40 on the jacket liner.

I have Gerbing jacket liner, classic gloves and permanent dual temp controls and I love them! I'm getting the pants and sole liners also. Just wish they were made in the USA..

The HD heated clothing is made by Gerbing, same stictching and everythiong, you just pay a little moree to have the HD logo stitched in. I went to the local BMW shop and bought the jacket liner, if you ever want to buy the gloves its much easier to plug into the liner since the wires are tucked into the sleeves just above the wrist.
I had a problem last year, a wire had broken, I sent it back and it was repaired and sent back to me in about a week, they even called two or three weeks later to make sure I was happy with there lifetime warranty on the wireing and heating elements A top notch company in my book.
