Tour Master Synergy. Wore it for a 40 mile spin on the FJR - - SWEET!!  cooldude cooldude  The temp got down to 39 which is no big deal but torso and arms were very comfortable at the low setting. Didn't get gloves because, in my opinion, they way overpriced. Next test will be on the Valk where much more air gets around the windscreen.  I got an extension cord and adapter to simply plug it into my battery tender pigtail.

$180 to extend the riding season - - works for me!

Heated gear rocks!  I have the gloves, socks and the jacket.  The gloves really help keep the fingers warm and supple so you can use the clutch and front brake easily.  And the socks are a must to keep my toes from turning blue.  I will ride in temps in the low 20s as long as the road is clear and at those temps the heated gear really makes a difference!

You might as well bite the bullet and buy some gloves as well along with the jacket it's the best money you can spend to add to your motorcycling enjoyment....I have the Gerbing jacket liner , gloves , pants along with socks and later bought the boot liner....95 % of the time I only use the jacket liner and gloves.

Man, I thought about using mine in the stand this year. I figured a car battery and a set of alligator clips would work as power and just hook up till warm and disconnect until needed again. I'll try it next year as season closes this coming weekend.
