You'll love the Gerbing heated in-soles. Just make sure you have a way to control them or at least a switch to turn them off. Got to be in the 30's down here to use them and they still get too hot. Sure beatd the hell out of cold feet.

the insoles seem to be better for walking....don't feel the wires.

just got the gerbing glove liners - wearing them saturday for about 3 hrs they actually got warm enough to give a light 'burn' to backs of my hands, but i was using insulated gloves - cut the insulation out of the outergloves (so now they are just a layer of deerskin) and used the liners again this morning (33* and light snow) and they felt perfect... but the grips are still cold, so now I'm thinking of adding the heat demons so both sides of my hands are warm (thinking ahead to when the temps are in the teens or lower...)
I wired the glove harness into my jacket between the liner and the outershell, so now there is no more wiring the jacket - just plug the gloves in and go. Thinking of getting the heated insoles too - 3 hrs in the upper 30's on saturday definitely froze my feet.

The dual controller is well worth the money, being able to regulate the heat.

thanks - just ordered the gerbing insoles last night, going to give them a try with just a splitter from the same on/off switch as my gloves and see if that works until after the christmas bills are paid....
was 20* (or lower) with winds gusting 25-35 and light snow blowing around this morning on the way into DC....my hands stay thawed out with the glove liners, but gotta admit the grips are cold and that does soak through to my hands. I'm thinking of adding the heated grips to ensure my hands are warm down to single digits if necessary (at some point I know ice and salt will park me for a few weeks...but I'll delay that as long as needed to stay off public transportation!)

No wires will be felt in the in-soles. Also if you have a dual controller, the glove **** also controls the feet

I have a hand with 2 bad fingers so gloves are a problem, (bent pretty bad) a set of heat demons and a set of Black atv slip on covers with the sheep skin fur inside ($15 at wally world and come off and on in about 15 seconds) I had to cut them which was just a simple slit to go around the mirror, I ride with the light brown cotton work gloves you can buy at any service station for a $1.99 and have ridden the last week in the lower teens (30 miles to work) and my hands are comfy! Just my 2 cents for anyone who has heated grips and would like some more comfort on those cold but pretty days.
