The Best Heated Motorcycle Gear I've Ever Owned! I Gerbing Heated Gloves & Jacket

[@ArthursMam]

I've been wearing my Gerbing heated vest for a few years now and love it. Toasty warm. It's brilliant.

[@SamVBikes]

Love it! Really nice to have that full focus on the bike in cold weather too as you don't need to worry about being cold

[@63chalkie]

The new textile gloves are even better, especially in wet weather. The long press of the buttons is only on the initial first time to activate the settings. The long power lead is quite useful as you can dismount to say access your top box etc without unplugging. If you get a remote Bluetooth controller you can leave your current one tucked inside a pocket. Brilliant gear though 👍

Gerbing textile?

[@user-fv1576]

I have the same gloves , bought last year. They will let water in after a couple hours . I’ve bought a waterproof leather cream for the gloves - recommended. Works a treat .

[@SamVBikes]

Good to know! I've not had wet hands yet but I suppose it's only a matter of time like most gloves haha! I'll get the leather cream on them

[@ShutterUp]

Thank you, this answered a lot of questions I had. I also have Raynaud's syndrome and it can become quite painful. The issue with other gloves is the heat doesn't cover the finger tips.

[@SamVBikes]

No problem! These work really well for me and a number of people who have bought off the back of the vid too!

[@afmorriarty]

Great gear! Also have the wireless remote. Velcro’d to my brake res. Works an absolute treat. Use my with the battery for walking the dog too.

[@SamVBikes]

Great idea! Haha I'm tempted to go get the batteries for the cold walks too

[@Paulmeadows24]

Sam I’m a relatively new follower, been loving the touring vids and just listened to your podcast with Bruce on my way back down south this afternoon in the rain. Would love to know how you get the energy to keep pushing out content

[@SamVBikes]

Thank you bud! Appreciate you following! Very good question! I really enjoy the editing and filming something, and can talk about bikes all day so that definitely helps! It's mainly just enjoying the interaction with like minded people and having a good laugh. Gained some really good friends from doing this!

[@Paulmeadows24]

@@SamVBikes gained a follower here, keep up the good content. And if you need help with getting the Mrs to move to Oxfordshire give me a shout - I won that argument with mine and now live just down the road from Silverstone!

[@SamVBikes]

Appreciate it! Haha I think I'm slowly winning the conversation too! The story of how we could get dogs and walk in the countryside was quite an easy persuasion technique 😂

[@michaelmclarney1994]

Great review Sam, if I go heated I will get the Gerbing stuff, they sound better than the rest, from your recommendation. It's good that Roadskinz are importing them, I found them great to deal with at the bike show and intend to get the jeans next year 😀

[@SamVBikes]

Thank you bud! It's difficult to pick as there are so many options out there now but I'm super happy with the Gerbing stuff so far! My old gloves stood the test of 4 British winters so hopefully these will too

[@michaelmclarney1994]

@@SamVBikes you're welcome, we are spoilt for choice these days, my mate and I were only discussing how awful, by comparison, the kit was back in the 1980's! I had a pair of frank Thomas sub Zero aqua gloves that were supposed to be the best thing out there. My hands were cold after the 10 mile trip trip to college in the winter. I suppose their marketing was correct as the name accurately described how your hands felt after a 15 minute ride! 😂

[@SamVBikes]

😂😂 guaranteed to make your hands sub-zero haha! Yeah definitely are pal. Everything is so good now, even the cheap crap stuff is very good

[@michaelmclarney1994]

@@SamVBikes the budget end is as good, or better than the high end stuff in my youth. I would be keen to check out the RST options as I'm impressed with their kit, especially at the price!

[@SamVBikes]

Yeah definitely worth a look bud! Going to be an expensive year with all of these things to buy haha

[@simulacrae]

Are you using anything like bar muffs in addition to the heated grips and gloves? They look a little goofy but can turn your grips into tiny little saunas for your hands.

[@SamVBikes]

Nope I'm not! I have the barkbusters but they don't do a huge amount bar deflection of some direct wind blast! I can't bring myself to fit them haha

[@B15ape1981]

Hi Sam, great gear gerbing ive been using it for last 5-6years absolutely love it. One small thing though where ive found they've gone backwards a little. You were saying how its quite difficult to change heat settings on the go, well it did'nt use to be. On the last generation of clothing(Which i have) Gerbing used to have a wireless duel controller which you can stick on your bike anywhere that suits, and you can turn the power up and down at will (goes up and down in 10% increments) via the two knobs just like a volume control on a radio. Absolute game changer and i still use today....But the new micro wire gear you have today isnt compatible with the bluetooth wireless controllers!! 🤨 As i said they seemed to have gone backwards...Maybe it's question worth asking? Anyhow keep up the good work and that front wheel high Sam. 👌👍

[@SamVBikes]

Glad you're so happy with it! I'll ask the question bud. I'm sure it will be something they are working on to improve. Apparently a lot of it seems to be based on customer feedback so wonder if some people just wanted it low, medium or high. Its definitely a good set of kit

[@mattmutane5502]

@@SamVBikes I've got the (awesome) Warm & Safe base layer with the Bluetooth controller, and am in two minds about that TBH. The remote and unlimited adjustability is awesome but I DO worry about if it'll break one day and I won't be able to fix it... :( (I carry a spare battery for the controller, just in case - but so far, I've yet to have a battery not last a whole winter...)

[@Getting-On]

What model of the gloves were you wearing at the end of the video?

[@SamVBikes]

Same gloves all the way through - Gerbing XR Xtreme Heated gloves!

[@joaobrito1899]

Hi mate, I have a kit from Keis jacket and gloves... I'm not happy enough with the gloves, do you know if possible use the Gerbing gloves connect with the keis jacket?

[@SamVBikes]

It's not possible to use the same leads, but if you buy gloves, they come with the cable anyway

[@jaygorakht5135]

Enjoying from nepal heartly welcome. To nepal as well✌️😍

[@SamVBikes]

Thank you!

[@Seqhael]

Man I’m confused, I just got the heated jacket liner like you, but even at setting 5 i can’t even really tell if it’s on, like I feel a little bit of heat but not much. All these reviews make it out like it’s super hot??? Do I just have a faulty jacket liner?

[@SamVBikes]

I'd say you must have a faulty jacket. This is so hot that I can't leave it on 5 for more than 10 mins. It is hotter running off the bike too so if you're running off a battery it won't be as hot

[@mattmutane5502]

Sam - Just watched this (and my wife was in the room, who has..... Raynaud Syndrome too (was nodding away at your description of Emma's experience)). I've got the Keis G701 which rock, but I'd like to do a comparison.... ;) Will ping you... :) BTW, nice wheelies, Mr Giggleman... ;) :D

[@SamVBikes]

Some of my mates can wear summer gloves through the winter with just heated grips... if I did that, I'd be numb from the elbow down haha!

[@mattmutane5502]

@@SamVBikes Yep - same! I have FAR too many different pairs of gloves TBH, though I DO have my favourites (for each of heated winter, un-heated winter, summer waterproof laminated, summer waterproof un-laminated, summer vented... ;) :D :D ). Must try those Gerbings! :)

[@SamVBikes]

Haha yes I've got way too much gear but the thing I like about these is they double up as my wet weather and proper winter gloves too. Without the bulk!

[@mattmutane5502]

@@SamVBikes I've also got some HALVARSSONS LJUSDALs which I think might do with heated grips for most of the winter (they really are a decent "3 season" glove). Also great for spring/autumn.... Like I said, too much kit... it's a disease/weakness... ;)

[@jamessymes1]

Brilliant Sam, I've always wondered what was the best gear to buy. I don't ride in the winter anymore I'm a pussy hate bulky riding gear. This might be the ticket.

[@SamVBikes]

Thanks bud! Yes I'm the same, I can't stand being overly bulky on the bike so this works a treat!
