In 1975, a motorcyclist rides to work at an aeronautical machine shop. It's frigid, wet, and blustery. The faster he goes, the colder he feels. The machine shop owner and engineer is inspired; Gerbing Heated Clothing is born.
For over 40 years, Gerbing has been the industry leader in developing heating technologies to overcome cold weather conditions. The patented Gerbing Microwireª system is composed of thousands of conductive filaments 1/10th the thickness of a human hair. Each garment is controlled by a sophisticated power management & distribution system.
We were born from aeronautics, fueled by a passion for powersports, and engineered to keep you warm in the most frigid riding conditions.
We recommend the use of a temperature controller with this product. Failure to do so may cause discomfort & burns.

November 25, 2023

Not the same Gerbing
April 21, 2021
The last Gerbing vest finally failed near the vest connector.
I thought it had served me well and time to purchase a new one.
Once the new vest arrived, I was disappointed.
First, the heating seems to be OK.
The new vest has no Thinsulate in the material. Feels like to very thin layers of nylon, period.
No pockets at all, much less the zippered units on the original.

Christmas gift
November 18, 2020
I bought this for a Christmas present for my Son. This was the top item on his list. This was shipped to me fast and wrapped in shipment package very nice, I look forward to him opening his gift.
Pros
- fast shipment, easy to order.
Cons
- Waiting for him to open his gift

Lightweight and super warm -- perfect for riding on a motorcycle in cool/cold weather
June 26, 2019
I purchased this electric vest for my Dad for Father's Day so that he could use it during his motorcycle rides in cool and cold weather. He LOVES it. The vest fit him perfectly and was easy to set up with the wires to his motorcycle. This is something he would not have purchased for himself (he'd rather bundle up like a burrito), which made it all the more a wonderful and appropriate gift for him. He lives in Arizona which is a perfect place for him to do lots of riding year round.
Pros
- Everything. Fits a man's body perfectly.
Cons
- No sizes available for women. I also want to purchase a vest for my mother, but I'll have to try and get a man's size to fit her. Since she's petite (short) and a bit stout), the men's sizes will end up being long in the torso and with arm holes that are too big.
- Make these vests in women sizes!

This vest is amazing
January 4, 2017
I used it for the first time on a cross country ride from Atlanta to Phoenix in January. Of course there was a cold snap. One morning when I started out it was 29 degrees. The vest kept me warm and cozy. The vest, when I zipped it all the way up, covered my neck. And there are heating elements in the part of the vest that covered my neck. Talk about warm! And the neck area is the part that I feel warm up right away so I know everything is plugged in and functioning in a matter of seconds. Great product.
Pros
- Vest covers the neck with heating elements to keep that crucial area warm.
