    Default What brand of heated gear do you think is best?

    I've had a Sedici hot wired jacket for a few years now and have been pretty ok with it... but... I have had multiple probs with the plug ends ie. the wires fray and/or break right where they come out of all the plugs, Battery harness, and jacket. Now it has quit for no apparent reason, and I suspect I need a new one. My question is, what brand do you who use them think is best? I see there are a few brands and prices are similar. Bluetooth does not appeal to me as I can't see digging my phone out to change heat level. I wear mine far more on the snowmobile than on the Spyder! Thanks for any input!

    Tour Master. Affordable works well and lasts a long time. Also, they're compact when stowed away and not used. Used mine several times a year since 1999 and they're still working great.

    Take a look at this brand, https://www.exo2theheatinside.com/

    Have a vest and gloves for self and wife. Lowest current draw of any heated gear.
    I rode in 25 degree F weather to work, 45 miles at 75 mph, and stayed very warm.
    Did some 450 mile day rides in 40 degree F weather at 80 mph, stayed very warm

    I like the brand.

    Warm and Safe heated gear. They are the manufacturers for other resellers such as First Gear. Also they will give you a 20% discount if you are a member of the AMA.

    I have a Gerbings heated jacket liner, heat controller and heated gloves. They are easily 25 years old. Have easily several hundreds thousands of miles, still work like new...........Does not quiet look like new..... In the Summer when riding thru the higher mountains, I wear it under my mesh riding jackets. Up real high, it's often cold and sometimes rainy, as you get to lower elevations, often much warmer and sunny. Turn up the Heat Controller when it gets cold or rainy turn off when you hit a warm dry lower elevation, works like a charm and you don't have to stop.

    Default What-brand-of-heated-gear-do you think is best

    I've always used warm and safe, as previously stated they produce clothing for other manufactures. I use a heated garment shirt and glove liners and couldn't be happier with the product and performance and service when ordering. Here is a link to the warming store which has pretty much all the different brands of heated gear available. https://www.thewarmingstore.com/

    Gerbings, wore them for years, never an issue.
    I use to ride year round in Massachusetts, my coldest ride to work was -3° and I was nice and toasty.
