I am looking for heated gear for the wife and I. May be our Christmas gifts to each other this year. I am leaning toward the Gerbings, and found an outlet that is selling the older stuff with the PDU in it. I was wondering if anyone out there has that model jacket liner, and how it works for them.

Kind of out of touch with the heated stuff anymore, but I bought my wife a Widder electric vest a long time ago and she loved it. It had a very simple plug-in and was easy to operate while riding. One of the best gear purchases I ever made for her.

Good info; we might need heated gear down here in GA for a couple of months a year (sorry). Not meaning to hijack the thread, but is it true that without an upgraded alternator that heated clothing can lead to some serious battery drain? -s

I just ordered FirstGear stuff for the Wife. Got to get her comfy, make her happy & all will be well, you guys know what that's about.

Speakeasy when I did the calculations of wife's new gear it will be a touch over 13 amp or 157 watts. You can do the math on your other accessories & check total draw. I did change to a Compufire alternator in preperation of a big trip next year but I'm really not sure it would have been an issue anyway. Maybe some of the others will add their .02.
