Let's see....
Gerbing seems to be the big name in this type of apparel but pricy at least for me. I have warm gear , same stuff better price but we seldom use it here. Winter in the mountains is about it. The only ones to watch out for are the battery powered ones cause the batteries don't last as long as most rydes and coming back with no heat can be rough....

Gerbing, don't leave home without it. Gloves, pants and jacket.

Warm and Safe or re badged as First Gear. If you are an AMA member Warm and Safe will give you an 18% discount.
I actually have both Warm and Safe and Gerbings. Both are high quality with IMHO the nod going to Warm and Safe. All three brands will interface with each other.

Gerbing is great, expecially the microwire jacket and gloves, but it is pricey. Very pricey...

Thanks Everyone
The problem I have is finding things that "fit" because I am not a "standard" size, by any means. Went to the local outdoors store Shyda's near Lebanon, PA and they helped me find: a battery powered jacket by Gyde, fits like a glove, has heat in the neck where I really need it.
With snow on the ground, here, won't be trying it out on a ride, today, but, maybe tomorrow if the roads are dry.

heated gear
I have had warm and safe, Powerlet and Gerbings. If you have the money go Gerbings all the way, lifetime warranty. I have socks, gloves, pants, jackets.
I started out with the liners, they are so so and creep up. go with the full jacket and pants from Gerbings it will be the best investment for you and your passenger.

Not a big fan of heated gear myself. LOL Gives me the heebie jeebies.
That being said, I live in Minnesota and we ice fish. Being "roundish" too but 5'4, I wear my ice fishing gear. Pink and gray. Absolutely love it. This past Friday I had to pick up my Spyder at a shop and it was 40 degrees. All I wore was a t-shirt and jeans and my jacket. I was toastie at 65 mph. I have bibs but they make me too warm. I don't wear chaps, again due to my stature, I wear 3/4 leg warmers. They are leather and sheepskin and go from my toes to mid hip. Got them at a Motorcycle show.
Just my 2 cents worth. Good Luck

I just checked out First Gear clothing. Though they do go to 3x, I looked at their size chart. There version of a 3x wouldn't fit my bust line much less my hips. Not all sizing is the same unfortunately. My Ice Striker ice fishing gear is a size 18 and is actually big on me. Go figure. If you look at BRP Spyder clothing, their 2xl is a size 14 where normally that would be a 18 or even a 20.
First Gear looks like nice stuff though.

Snug as a bug in a rug!!
In my quest to be warm, I found a Gyde battery operated jacket, on sale
It has warm areas in the front, neck, and collar, but, not the back, on a cold day, that is still chilly.
Found a Gerbing 12v. coat on sale and bought it. It is AWESOME!!
Had to ride in the rain, yesterday and it kept me snug as a bug in a rug!
It has heat everywhere, sleeves, front, back, collar, my main mechanic was able
to wire it in to the battery with no problem.
Thanks for your advice and help.
Getting ready for the trip of a lifetime, next week, PA to Colorado!!

We are on the return leg of our trip to Colorado. Traveled from PA to Dolores, CO on a southern route because of snow in the north. We had cold rain everyday and I was VERY toasty in my heated jacket.
We are 5,000 miles into the trip and on our way home, now, wearing our mesh jackets in 80 plus temperatures. Wish it was cooler.. you can put more clothes on, but, you can only take so many off (and be in public) The hubs tries to keep up with me on his Kaw Voyager!!

I have Warm & Safe and really like it. SpyderLover's should be able to negotiate 20% group discount as they do with Honda ST100 owners group.

You can save 20% on Gerbings at Leather Headquarters in Las Vegas on any day that the temperature is 100 or higher.

I bought my Gerbings before our trip to Alaska last summer and I really only needed to use it once and I didn't have it hooked up right. On our return from Spyderfest this year I used it every day. I love the heated collar and sleeves. We leave on Monday for Washington and the temperature here is in the 110s, I would prefer to need my Gerbings.
