I bought a Gerbing heated jacket and temp controller online.
Took it out for a 15 mile run, including some highway running, at about 33 degrees.
I would have to say that I'm underwhelmed with the gear. If I use my imagination, I can *imagine* that it's warmer on FULL HEAT than when it's off.
I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.
a. The heated jacket liner might be too loose.
b. There might be too much leakage of air through my leather jacket. It has a thinsulate liner, but I'm sure there are better sealed garmetns against the wind.
c. Could it be too weak a battery or too weak an alternator?
I expected FULL HEAT to be too much when sitting at a stop light. It was barely noticeable.
At the end of the ride the jacket liner was body temperature ... no warmer.
