My girl friend gave me a Tourmaster heated vest 3 yrs ago and I LOVE it. It has 3 adjustments and anything above low will run you out of it at 40 degrees.

Heated gear is the way i ride in the winter, Two things about it, You must remember to unplug when you dismount, And in case of a malfunction i.e. Blown fuse, bike stops running, Or forgetting to unplug [done that] you should have extra cloths with you!
I have the HD heated jacket liner and gloves. So far, I haven't had to use them but after a ride from Caldwell to Boise in 28* weather yesterday, decided the heated gear has to be worn. Stopped at the local HD shop and ordered the heated pants today.
I guess I'm getting to the age where cold is going to bother me more...very interested in heated gear, now, especially gloves-my hands seem to freeze to the bars!
Does anyone have a line on an American made product? I can't seem to find any...:(
As I said earlier,
One word of caution. In my case I have a problem with [B]the pads of my fingers(finger print area) not getting any heat[/B] since the wiring of the gloves go horizontally around the fingers. The heated grips also don't heat that area because I have long fingers. so I have to scrunch up my fingers when out for a long time. That is my one and only pet peeve. I wish Gerbing would run the wires from the top of the fingers around the tips to the bottom = problem would be solved.
I've contacted Gerbing 4 more times. At least someone finally replied back, but on all three times they couldn't answer that very simple question. I can't believe no one at Gerbing can give me a definative answer - probably because the gloves are not wired the way I need them, but at least tell me so I don't keep wasteing my time trying to get an answer.
If I had the knowledge, I'd take the gloves apart and rewire them myself. I guess I could try a tailor.
