    Default Firstgear Heated Riding Gear

    Colder weather is coming for most of us. Yet there are still a lot of nice, dry, sunny (though cool) riding days out there. Firstgear makes some really nice gear. From the 1 piece Thermo cold weather suit to the heated gear which includes gloves, jackets, jacket liners, pants and socks. Most do very will with gloves and jacket or jacket liner. The hard core cold riders may want to add an item or 2.

    Riding comfortable in the cold on an otherwise nice day is really a neat experience.

    I carry the full line of Firstgear products at a great prices.

    The options on heated gear can be confusing. If you need some help with selection let me know. You can PM me here or email me at fyredad@hotmail.com

    Have a great winter riding season!

    I thought about heated gear, but remembered I have the Thermo suit already! Wish I'd remembered to take it to Alaska!

    The Thermo is a great option! You can't beat it for the price. And why would you not take it to Alaska?! Post-it notes on the forehead work well for me!

    When I got my heated stuff, I pondered what took me so long. Only took 50 years of riding to come around!
    If I can't fix it, I will fix it so no one can fix it. Sypder Loco!

    Yes. The Thermo is a big seller and pretty much a crowd-pleaser. Hard to beat the features for the price.

    You guys are starting to look at thermo suits and I am now considering those evaporative cooling vests. I think we have started into a long hot summer.

    Living on the east coast I have been researching what might be sufficient warm gear for me riding into the November month. I have 12V outlets on the bike and my two choices are Gerbing and Firstgear 12V gear but now I'm reading about Firstgear 1-piece suit.

    It appears the 1-piece is a popular choice on Spyderlovers but at what point or why would you choose a thermo suit over a 12V?

    If I purchase the thermo suit, can I still wear thermo socks and hand liner? How would they be wired (e.g. 12V outlet, portable dual temp controller)?

    Back in the day I rode with a heated vest but technology has advanced well past that. I've never heard of a thermo suit. I'll have to check it out. How does Firstgear compare to Gerbing? I was at a BMW dealership this weekend and they had both but I only looked at the Gerbing.
