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.
Product Reviews
- Staying warm on the motorcycle!!
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.
- fast shipment, easy to order.
- Waiting for him to open his gift
- Everything. Fits a man's body perfectly.
- 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!
- Vest covers the neck with heating elements to keep that crucial area warm.
