GERBING HEATED MOTORCYCLE GEAR REVIEW

[@MM_in_Havasu]

Glad to hear your weather has remained mild for the most part! Always appreciate your product reviews, whether it's bikes or gear! Thanks Meg & Cameraman Mike! You guys rock, ride safe & stay warm!🏍🥶

[@megsmotorcyclejourney]

Aww thank you! We so appreciate the kind words.

[@66azannor]

He did it. That's Awesome!

[@megsmotorcyclejourney]

Yes!!! He is actually really good for not having any training except through me ;)

[@66azannor]

@@megsmotorcyclejourney lol.. I was surprised. 😃

[@SoloRider831]

Just gonna say... never saw anyone riding and doing handstands so I truly believe you have a niche market on this one. As far as the gear, sounds great. Doesn't get that cold in Texas, but riding elsewhere in the U.S. I can see where it would be really useful. Great review and video. Thanks.

[@surferdude642]

My experience with Gerbing is that it works best with just a long sleeve shirt under the vest and layer on the outside. This way, the vest isn't insulated much from your body for better heat transfer and the outside is protected more from the wind chill. This helps to keep the vest/liner from getting overpowered by the cold air.

[@mayhempilot6158]

Exactly.

[@jdreyno1958]

Thanks Meg. You're awesome.

[@megsmotorcyclejourney]

Aww thank you! Appreciate it

[@DebtheReb1369]

Love your handstand walk Megan

[@megsmotorcyclejourney]

Thank you! Thought it would be fun.

[@RIDE365AZ]

You guys are hard core. I love it. I always say you ain’t a tuff guy (girl) unless you do tuff stuff. You guys are TOUGH. Gerbing could not have chosen better than you on KZbin to demo their gear. I don’t see too many other vloggers or maybe none out riding 365 like us.

[@megsmotorcyclejourney]

Aww thank you! We really appreciate it. We are both passionate about riding and don't want to have to put away our bikes for the year. Appreciate you watching.

[@BillTheHarleyGuy]

awesome video as always , i'll be checking into getting heated gear for my early spring adventures 👍

[@megsmotorcyclejourney]

We so appreciate your support!

[@plaid13]

Might want to look into snowmobile helmets. Just make sure its at least DOT approved. They are designed to keep you warm and not fog up. some have heated visors that will help as well.

[@fritzhall3192]

I recently bought Gerbing heated jacket pants and gloves and I don’t layer underneath and have very comfy riding. So far I’ve rode at 40 degrees

[@irvineyoung4545]

If you run with your thoughts, a cartoon caricature of you with hulk like arms on hoodies or what have you may sell.

[@ejdtm]

I wear a thin long sleeve under my heated liner. If I need layers, they go over the heated liner.

[@megsmotorcyclejourney]

Great suggestion! Thank you.

[@Silverwinger82]

I have the old Widder heated gear, and I don't even bother with the thermostatic controls. I just plug it direct to the bike. I do have a switch to turn it off if it gets too warm, though. I have a similar problem with circulation in my hands. My left index finger will start losing it's color when it's 60 degrees out.

[@megsmotorcyclejourney]

Sorry to hear you have the same issues.

[@Silverwinger82]

@@megsmotorcyclejourney My problem was caused by 600 volts through my arm span. So I guess you could say I know how an Oscar Meyer wiener feels in a Presto Hot-Dogger lol.

[@zumbadotti4303]

I live in the White Mountains of NH. I wear First Gear heated gear. I have jacket liner, pant liner, socks and gloves. This brand is a lot less bulky but very warm. I only wear a thin layer underneath jacket and pant. I also have HD heated grips. They are the slim ones. It has to be around 35 or less to wear heated gloves. Very “ hot” product. I usually tuck wires under my thigh and keep control accessible. Thx for all your videos!

[@megsmotorcyclejourney]

Thanks for watching and for the thoughts! Glad you have a system down.

[@windowken]

Ok biking in the summer don't fancy it in the winter be to cold i think

[@megsmotorcyclejourney]

Understand! Thanks for watching.

[@genoapb]

I have also found the liners work best with a thermal or some long sleeve shirt as a base. Then the liner and then a hoodie over that. I find the heated collar actually helps heat the helmet as well with the hoodie over it and helmet over the hoodie! Gerbing also makes a bluetooth controller that has much less wiring to tuck. Then of course Gerbing makes an outer heated jacket with the glove plugs on the outside. Which makes it much easier to access. They also make kind of a hybrid 12v gloves that can be plugged into the sleeve plugs or their 12v batteries. Now lastly I would suggest checking Milwaukee leather. They offer nice looking heated leather chaps, jacket and gloves. All with built in controllers for less wiring as well as its all dual power. So it can run on their included 7v batteries as well! Chaps don't come with a free battery like the jacket and gloves though. They also have women specific Chaps and gear for the lady!

[@billiardbago7500]

Wish we had some of that weather here! Hope you get to enjoy it as much as possible.

[@megsmotorcyclejourney]

Thank you! Appreciate you watching!

[@JohnnyXoz]

When the Slow-Mo happened I thought Meg was turning into the HULK

[@megsmotorcyclejourney]

Hahaha I laughed out loud at this comment. Thank you for watching.

[@Steve-ec6ed]

I ride all year here in Jersey too. I just installed a set of heated grips a few weeks ago on my Heritage and it is a game changer! You should 100% consider adding them since you guys are riding all year too. Happy Holidays to you both!

[@megsmotorcyclejourney]

Thank you and kudos to you for being an all weather rider.

[@drainmonkeys385]

I really like my Harley leather vest I. Bought the “passing link” vest.. .. so comfortable

[@lwsrider]

I saw this on another channel. This rider suggested that, if possible, have the controls within easy access. That way, if you become too warm while riding, you will be able to adjust the temperature while on the move, instead of having to pull over and stop. Meg, you have an advantage over Cameraman. You can walk with your handstand. Cameraman has to remain stationary with his headstand. It's good that the two of you have fun on your rides!

[@megsmotorcyclejourney]

Thanks for that tip! LOL it is ture- I'm less vulnerable upside down than he is. Thanks for watching.

[@SPCK111]

You can get a remote control until for your heated gear which talks to the wired buttoned controller, you can then tuck the wired control away

[@megsmotorcyclejourney]

Interesting! I’ll look into it

[@genekelley7579]

🛑🛑 Meg…Speaking from my own experience and my own bike…. Given your medical conditions, just install Heated Grips and “possibly” a Heated Seat. The Harley Grips are “very warm”, and I’m able to ride in the 40’s without gloves and a light jacket when your butt is warm. 😂👍💯 With the equipment already installed on your bike, you will never be “caught without you heated gear.😀💯👍 My wife sometimes turns on her side of the Heated Seat when we are riding through the rain in the summer💯👍.

[@megsmotorcyclejourney]

Wow! I've heard heated grips are nice but wow that's colder than I would have expected. Thanks for watching.

[@danieldenis593]

Hello Meg and Cameraman hope all is good . Thank you for the review , here in Quebec Canada the fall riding get very chili mostly at night ,so will seriously be looking for this product again a big thank you . Take care

[@jimgordon3468]

Get the gerbings heated socks, jacket, pants and gloves. NOT THE VEST. I ride all year round. Now. Put on a long sleeve t shirt then gerbings jacket. Then a motorcycle jacket. The actual gerbings heated pants. All the cords tuck neatly into the pant pocket. The controller clips to the outside. Done.

[@megsmotorcyclejourney]

Thanks for the tip! I’ll check it out

[@MichealMcConnell2540]

I agree with Michael you will feel a lot better with some of that off

[@yamahaxs6501]

"super powered forearms"! Heated gear is amazing, but moving to Florida was a better solution for me!

[@rayw8177]

some of my original heated gear, didn't get controller just an off on, ended up burning self. found having moderate clothing under gear help not burning and stay comfy. the gloves have hard time, ya think be made with less palm padding and put more on the backside so easy for handle bar controls like normal gloves. i used the gear also when worked as a game warden in wi, was a way to make more enjoyable being in below zero temps.

[@megsmotorcyclejourney]

Thank for the tip and your thoughts! We appreciate you watching.

Good luck on your journey west. Looking forward to seeing your next video on it. Very cool humorous and fun especially listening to you and your laughs most of all your great personality.

If you had a fairing like a Road Glide the wind protection is great. A baclava it a must. Antifog on your helmet visor and glasses helps

I ride without heated gear but I'm very warm blooded. I just put on some long underwear and layer from there and I'm good except for my fingers. I've been thinking about getting heated gloves because my fingertips do get cold. The rest of my body is pretty well protected because my bike has a well-designed windshield and leg fairings. Now that I've watched you guys' ride in VA, W.VA and western MD, I want to skip work this week and head west to Front Royal or Luray VA. It's beautiful out there this time of year. I did a solo Thanksgiving Day ride out to Luray and enjoyed the heck out of it. I want to go back! Great work on the review! Keep the fun videos coming!

[@dalegarrard9446]

Sounds like the heated gear was up to the task. Stop doing wrist curls Meg and you won't have Popeye forearms. Pretty impressed by your athleticism doing that handstand walk. Michael, my Grandpa would always stand on his head at family gatherings. He was 88 years old the last time I saw him do it, so...you potentially have a long time to enjoy your upsidedownness. It might be easier if you weren't smoking while doing it. Although, that could be your signature move.

[@megsmotorcyclejourney]

Hahaha it would be a signature move right up Mike's ally. Thank you for the kind words and for watching!

[@edsbikerstuff]

So it appears that we should get one size up from jackets we normally wear.

[@stevenking2469]

Thank You for the review. I'm looking for heated gear like this. It came up on my Facebook page and I was waiting for you to give your feedback before I pulled the trigger. I have a question for you before I do. It's about the gloves. My hands get cold quick fingers turn white and go numb with pins and needles. Are the gloves heated real good? From the picture on the page the wires look to go around the fingers need finger warmth most of all. I have battery gloves for now. They do OK most of the time. Just looking for better heated gear. I Value your opinion hope to hear from you soon. Thank You again!!

[@gianniharrington5106]

This is so funny- did you film this at the corner of 97 and 144 by the Dunkin’ Donuts? I drive past there every single day. Good video btw I’m always riding and want the heated gear

[@megsmotorcyclejourney]

Yes, we did! Mike and I are there frequently. 🙃

[@gd6349]

Hi Meg 👋 and Mike , hey this was a really enjoyable video 👍 You should've called it Trials and Errors of Heated Gear 😁 I personally have never worn any heated gear and I have rode when it was in the teens , and I Soooooo remember feeling like the Marshmallow man from Ghostbusters because of multiple layers. But as with all things with riding , you just keep on trying different things till you come up with the right combo , that allows you to stay warm and not feel overly bulky 👍 Good to see you both , and I hope that your upcoming week goes well and quickly Counselor 😊

Just the jacket liner. I think the pants liner would be great s well though!

I thought she was going to cartwheel or walk on her hands where they walk the Dogs.. which would not be pleasant if she got some dog poo on her hands.. I road 210 miles a week ago it was 27F .. All I had was many layers winter boots and heated grips .. I was going to try and contact Meg if there is a discount code.. Everything I ordered late last weeks still offered Black Friday 20% discount.. and free shipping.. I made it 77 Miles out of 110 one way before I had to stop and unthaw in a gas station .. I also went outside and did some jumping jacks..

@@megsmotorcyclejourney I rode my Motorcycle to FT Wayne IN to pick up Pyrodex that Sportsmans wharehouse sold out from under me.. I placed an order that came in 4 different shipments.. I got a Modren Muzzleloder for Deer Hunting..I hate sitting perfectly still in a Deer stand and freezing .. with the heated vest I don't think I will freeze..sitting still and you can turn on and off as needed.. Otherwise I would be dressed so warm I would be sweating when I walk in the woods.. though you do unzip your jacket of course..

[@hankster2241]

just my thought but growing up in Maine we learn to dress in layers. i know you like tight fitting clothes, but thats not the best thing to do in cold weather. long johns as we called them worked great and one more layer was perfect. there are many warm weather gear companies out there with out electronics , there just not sexy. i get it. just a suggestion. I've ridden snow mobiles in zero degree weather and all gear up with top end gear and felt great. love you guys

[@megsmotorcyclejourney]

Thank you. I actually have tried layering up. It doesn’t help my hands and feet though and those are the coldest parts of me. The heated gear is a game changer for me
