Default heated gear arrived

Spent last evening in the garage installing my newly acquired heated jacket liner, gloves, and dual portable remote on my Ultra. If you saw an earlier post which I asked for input from all the heated gear users here, I ordered from http://www.warmnsafe.com/

I rechecked my connections this morning and went for a little ride towards Altoona, PA. ended up a 107 mile round trip

The air temp was 43 degrees as measured by the gauge in my fairing.

At 70mph on RT99/220 I was chilled, turned on the jacket liner to full power and within several minutes I was too hot. Turned the **** slowly to 1/8 power and results perfect , with my feet out on the highway pegs, I was comfortable.

The gloves at 43 degree where to warm when powered on even with the adjustment **** at the lowest setting. So they should be perfect when the temp drops some.

The great part no bulky clothing.
I was wearing a long sleeve t-shirt, heated liner, and leather jacket, chaps, 3/4 helmet with shield up.

My riding season has just been extended!

Looking back, I should have made this purchase years ago....thanks again for the responses

Regards Dave

Glad to hear they work for you. I think I may have to break down and get some heated gloves this year. The heated liner is fabulous and make cold weather riding very enjoyable. Now if we can just keep the roads dry ....

Hey Dave,

Cool! Sounds like you're fully equipped now to ride all the way to Pittsburgh to ride with us in the Jan 1 Polar Bear ride. <g>
I'm interested in the heated gear you bought. Thanks for the link. Which one did you buy?
