For all my riding (mostly to work and back) I like to wear a heavy protective jacket with armor. I use a neon yellow one so I can be seen better. Leather pants with armor also. I wear a heated jacket liner and heated gloves. These are great for commuting with below freezing ambient temperatures. I would wear them for touring on my little Honda 250, but the alternator on the ’73 Honda 350 won’t keep up with the clothing demand.

(Iused to use this stuff on a Yamaha 1200, but the little bikes are more fun and more controllable.)

I feel that for safety the most important things are the reflective yellow jacket and the heated garments. It is incredible how much better you can control the vehicle when you are warm and toasty, it can make the difference between avoiding or not avoiding an accident IMHO.

Just upgraded to Gerbing heated items. Got the jacket liner – pant liner – glove, And insoles. Went for a 75 mile ride a few days ago. Hight temps here in NJ were 31. Lows on the ride home 28. Avg speed on highway 65 mph. I was very comfortable the entire ride. Could have kept going if not for work in the morning. By far the best heated gear I have ever owned & I tried several. Gerbing is tops for real heat!!

I have bought one of the heated jackets from Gerbing’s Company and the thing is awesome, I put this thing on not excpeting it to heat up so fast, i was wearing it inside and i started sweating, lol. This product has by far exceeded my expectations and will be great to wear while i am doing snow removal. i just have to buy another one because my wife wont give me mine back
