Wow, pretty harsh. Just sayin.Tremor38 said:Since a few seem to be worshiping at the shrine that is Gerbing, let me throw out a few more brands to consider. Exo2, First gear, and Warm and Safe. All very well made and work really well at keeping the hand/digits toasty. Gerbing has good products, but they have been known to have issues from time to time ...not unlike a certain brand of motorcycle that begins with a B. Many of those latte sippers who ride the 'B' bikes blindly worship Gerbing as well. Just sayin! I s'pose it's possible that the Gerb gloves really are the best thing since sliced bread, but form your own opinion instead of just jumping on the bandwagon.
I've had Widder and Warm N Safe. For me, based on my experience, my above comments are valid. Of course, take input, check things out, do your homework....uhhh, isn't that what the OP is doing by posting this? Let's not denigrate this in to some bash session.Tremor38 said:Since a few seem to be worshiping at the shrine that is Gerbing, let me throw out a few more brands to consider.

Dang, all that heated gear living in TX? What would you do if you lived where it got cold?Mellow said:Heated gear is great to have. I have the jacket liner, gloves and insoles.
Absolutely nothing, I'm all set. Once you try it.. You'll be hooked, pretty sure I've never heard anyone say they tried heated gear and didn't like it.. ???ColoRider said:Dang, all that heated gear living in TX? What would you do if you lived where it got cold?

(I have heated grips and "considering" a heated jacket finally after about 45 years of riding)

Those aren't the 'Synergy' gloves are they? If so, you seem to be one of the rare customers that got a decently working pair...good on ya! 8)AVGeek said:I was on a budget, and picked up the Tourmaster heated gloves a couple years back. The controller and wiring eventually died on me, and I just picked up the Warm N Safe Gen 3 jacket and wireless dual controller. Now I still only have a single connection to the bike, but have split control over the gloves and jacket. It's been cold and wet here in Phoenix the last two days, and the heated gear made all the difference in the world.
That they are. I have noticed that all of the heating elements are on the top side of the glove only, so I do occasionally feel some cold air on my wrists. Still, its better than not having them!Tremor38 said:Those aren't the 'Synergy' gloves are they? If so, you seem to be one of the rare customers that got a decently working pair...good on ya! 8)

::026:: on the gerbing gloves/apparel.....I have the jacket liner and gloves with a dual temp controller.....I was toasty warm riding the blue ridge parkway in teen temps recently!! ::013::Firefight911 said:Gerbing! No ifs, ands, or buts about it. Gerbing!
I've used them for years and they just recently updated their product line with their new Microwire technology. Heats faster, more thorough heating, you can't tell there are "wires" in the items.
I have used their jacket, as I said, for years and just now acquired their gloves. I plug the gloves in to the provided jacket connections and run them on a separate control as I like different heat settings for my jacket than I do my gloves.
They offer multiple types of gloves but you'll most likely choose between the G3 or the T5. The T5 is way overkill, IMO, unless you ride in -20 temps! The G3 is more than adequate, heats beautifully, and is waterproof to boot!
You do not need the jacket to make them work. You just need to run an adapter. All available through Gerbing.
