I honestly thought that the heated gear could be a replacement of layers and at this point I'm not fully convinced of that.<br /><br />I heard about CycleGear brand of thermals called "Freeze Out". Friends have mentioned that it works great in temps in the mid to high 30s. I ride all year long, I need something that can keep me warm in the 20s!

They do currently have a recall going on: http://gerbing.com/Recall/warningsandrecalls.php <br /><br />A friend of my Abe, ride with him all the time, has sent his Gerbings gear in twice for fixing due to wires burning out. He's only had the gear for 2yrs. <br /><br />Since working at Revzilla, I have come to find out that someone has bought out Gerbings and they are going through a massive company overhaul. Let's hope they come back and really step their technology forward.

The rain soaked into the gloves and rendered them almost useless. The vest worked great though. However, over time, the connector to the battery failed and rendered everything useless. I haven't gone back to heated gear, and focused more on thermal wear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228423470141279997.post-14194020834252374072013-05-11T20:53:43.714-04:002013-05-11T20:53:43.714-04:00I only have a heated vest, don't remember who ...I only have a heated vest, don't remember who makes it but there's no wires, you plug it in and it heats up to a comfortable temperature. There's no regulation, it stays at the same temperature all the time, works great and the material can even be cut with a knife and it will continue working. I hate wires.

Gerbings has had issues with shorts and wires burning us. We got new ones replaced under warranty and they swear they fixed this issue. I like the Gerbings liner a lot because it has hand pockets and fits less snug than the Powerlet. The powerlet is way more fitted but feels really nice under my KLIM jacket. When worn a lone it looks too tight. Gerbings wins for now...but I am glad we have two liners in house just in case one decides not to work.<br /><br />We also have warm & safe gloves as well as the Gerbings T5. Both work really well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
