Picked this up for the wife. I have the vest. We both love them.
Make sure you turn the jacket OFF before turning the bike off. Also, plug it in before you turn the bike on. Had a problem with a shorted out controller by plugging it in after the bike was on and the vest had been left on from the previous trip. Rick and the guys replaced the switch for me which was deeply appreciated and I won't make that mistake again.

All I can say is awesome! I road tested this jacket, with pants gloves and socks from another manufacture on my 4 day trip fro RI to FL. Worked great, jacket makes year round riding possible in the North East.

I agree with the staff, this is a great add to anyone who wants to add a few months to their riding season. Took my first ride in 35-degree weather and kept very warm.

I received the jacket liner and chaps for Xmas. They are one of the best presents I have ever received. They are really comfortable and warm no matter how cold it is. Would highly recommend.

I bought these before christmas but have only just tried them out. 1 word is all that is needed 'BRILLIANT'. I had it on for my outward journey but thought I would not need it on my return due to it being lunchtime, what a mistake. I am now going to get the gloves.

Great cold weather gear. I bought the jacket, pants and gloves and hook them all together with one controller. I no longer dread going out in cold weather and now I can ride almost year round.
I bought electric socks from another company and was able to use the controller that came with my gloves for the socks. Now I have almost total comfort!

Would give this jacket 10 stars if I could. May be the best thing I have ever purchased for my wife. If the outside temperature is lower than 75 degrees she was cold no matter how many coats, sweatshirts she piled on. She wears this jacket with a windbreaker over it in 20 degree weather and she is not cold.

I bought both the jacket liner and gloves for my wife. The garmets have been a god send for her riding comfort. While I live in Tucson, AZ typically known for having mild winters we have been out several time in teperatures in the low 30's and my wife has yet to set the tempetature setting above the low setting. I have used the gloves without turning on the heat and my hands never got cold. By far the best electric gear on the market - toasty warm - Thanks TourMaster for a totally awesome product

First: I live at the 7000 ft. level in the White Mountains of Arizona. The coldest temp I have seen here was -24F. below! I ride a GL1800.
I have been using the gloves and jacket liner for a little over a week in temperature down to 20F. So far I have only been able to set the temperature controller at its lowest setting. Even at, 20 to 25F, the temperature gets to hot if I turn it up higher than the lowest setting. Unless I take out the liner of my jacket, I have to turn off the temperature at around 35 to 38F or I will start sweating. Even then I need to turn it off at around 40 to 45F. However, at those temperatures I no longer need the heat. This will not hold true for everyone especially if you are riding a bike without a fairing.
The warmth of the jacket liner covers, completely, the whole area of my upper body. The gloves cover all but the palms of my hands, which is normal for heated gloves.
These two items work better than any heated clothing I have ever used and I have used all of the main steam heated garments on the market today. The of the biggest factors here is that all of the wiring comes with the Tourmaster liner and gloves without any need to purchase any additional wiring what so ever! Take a look at the cost of other heated clothing wiring and you note quite an additional cost involved in their product just to hook them up to you bike!
The aspect that I like the most about these is that, even with heated grips (which I have not turned on), the top of my hands get cold. Even with Held gloves, if it gets cold enough my hands still get cold on the top and with heavy gloves I can’t feel the controls. With these I can feel the controls and my hands are still warm (or HOT)!
Hope this helps you!
