Heated Riding Suit

[carolinakid1]

What brand of heated riding suit do you wear and are you satisfied with it? If you do not use a heated suit, what do you wear to stay warm?

[cactusjack]

No heated suit here. I wear a leather jacket and leather chaps during winter. On really cold days, I'll throw on some long johns under my jeans and wear a sweatshirt under the jacket. It doesn't get that cold here, though.

Just bought a FirstGear Thermal riding suit, not electric, and rode in rain and forty degrees about 34 miles and stayed warm and dry. Should have bought the suit a long time ago. Almost too warm. and just street clothes under it. I also have the Airlight engine guard chaps and hand deflectors. Those and being behind the windshield of the Nad and I'm pretty cozy without the plug-ins.

Just bought a Gerbing electric jacket liner and glove liners.

I wear the jacket liner under my leather jacket and, if needed, will eventually add my outer Tourmaster jacket, too.

I wear the glove liners under snowmobile mitten shells.

Will wear chaps until about 25 degrees, then start using my quilted overalls. Also have a neck gaiter, but the Gerbing liner has a high collar.

Also, just added engine guard chaps.

28 degrees when I left the house Saturday morning, the only thing I wished I had was heated gloves. Otherwise I was fine with leather jacket with a long sleeve t-shirt and turtle neck, jeans with chaps, and engine guard chaps. Its possible if I had hand deflectors to keep the wind off my hands I wouldn't need heated gloves, but won't know until I try.

Many of the people I was riding with use Gerbing suits and gloves and love them.

gerbing microwire which is new is suppose to be the best.

A friend of mine ordered gerbing T5 heated gloves and they were backordered.They seemed to give him the runaround about getting them in.

have a good friend who has the gerbing heated gloves paid around $140.00 plus shipping he loves the way they work but the hook up seems to be a pain, I think I will try the battery model, less wiring and have room for extra batteries in the trunk, I have been looking at the army surplus stores heard ever now and then if your lucky you can find them for around $60.00 (haven't yet) other then that the leathers work for me I did find some insulated chaps for $70.00 love them.
ride safe.

For those 30 - 45 degree days I have a pair of Gebring heated gloves, a pair of insulated bib overalls, and a Columbia coat that will fit over my leather jacket. The crash bar covers keep my feet warm, and a full face Shoei helmet with a fleece neck warmer. I can ride all day with this setup.
