works great, ensure you purchase a size that is snug to tight. Recommend whatever size you wear normally, go a size smaller.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Gerbing's Permanent Dual Temp Controller Two separate heat controllers in the same unit provide two separate heat controls for two different articles of heated clothing, such as for gloves and jacket liner Digital controllers insure that your heated clothing uses only as much power as requested Wires are UL listed and completely safe, in all weather conditions Three-Year Warranty Installs on any accessible panel (some drilling required) Includes complete mounting instructions Note Gerbing's changed the style of the extension cords included with the Temp Controller Kit. The kit now uses a 1 dual extension cord instead of 2 individual cords.

Icon One Thousand Elsinore Boots The Icon 1000 Elsinore's five-strap, alloy-buckle chassis, stamped metal heel plate, and internal steel shank combine for a serious dose of moto-x homage. The traditional Goodyear welt construction mates the Icon street-specific sole to the magnificent leather upper. A medial entry zipper, allocated from Paratrooper jump boots, is the only luxury the Elsinore will allow itself. A modern relic from an era when men were iron and tanks were steel. The Elsinore, old-school MX reinterpreted for the urban sprawl.

After a long search for a motorcycle boot that has style, quality and rideability I came upon the Icon 1000. The Rev review was spot on. The buckles are adjustable, the zipper came off track on the first attempt to put on, I got it back on track, then decided to loosen the buckles, zip up then adjust the buckles accordingly. This is my second set of Icon boots...in my humble opinion, Icon gets it regarding stylish, yet functional motorcycle riding boots. Order a size larger, ran a little small for me.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I have a port on my handlebars. can I adapt the gloves to plug into the port instead of going to the battery?

DC-heated, produces 15 watts of heatat 12.8 Volts (each glove) and should be used with a Firstgear Heat-Troller for optimum safety Y-Harness is required for use with Firstgear Heat-troller (unless you have a Firstgear heated liner, then this is unnecessary) Grade-A, top-grain, drum-dyed cowhide construction Porelle breathable, waterproof membrane Thinsulate layer Pre-curved fingers and finger-mounted,rubber, faceshield wiper Elastic wrist and adjustable hook-and-loop gauntlet closure Reinforced protection in palm Reflective piping on top Make sure to check out our Firstgear Heated Gear Buyers Guide
glove decision & sizing
I am trying to decide between Gerbing T5 & Firstgear carbon heated gloves.
Is the back of the hand heated on the firstgear like the Gerbing T5?
Both Brands were the same price. Is the Gerbing better for the extra $25?
Size: My hand measures 8.5", Gerbing chart is a clear medium, Firstgear is on the fence between medium & large?
thanks for your help.

don't know about the difference between the two products, but as stated in other post...best to go with the smaller size as the heat flows better next the skin when the glove is tight (tight should be taken in conjunction with comfort).

Where are the heating wires?
Does the finger tips are heated or only the back of the hand? The finger tips needs a lot more heat than anywhere else.

What all comes in the box?
Hi! I'd like to know what all comes in the box with the permanent dual zone controller.
I already own a jacket & gloves (and a portable controller), but with buying a new full fairing motorcycle, I'd like something more permanently mounted.
THanks!

What is needed with this?
If this is my first piece of heated gear, it looks like I also need to purchase:
1. A controller (single or dual, portable or fixed) and optional leather clip case if portable
2. A battery harness (http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/gerbings-battery-harness)
Is that correct? Anything else?

if this is your only piece of gear, a single controller will work fine. If you plan to obtain additional parts then you may need a dual controller. Dual allows you to maintain different temps for the different parts. For example you may want the jacket temp different than gloves or socks based on exposure to elements.

Which size should fit for me ?
My foot size is 7.5 but Icon Patrol Waterproof Boot is available only 7 or 8.
Which size should fit for me ?
Would you let me know how long for size 7 and 8 because my shoes 7.5 are about 11 inches long ?
Please let me know for making decision.
I also attach a picture of my shoes for reference.

Are these boots waterproof? Resistant?
No they are not, I added mink oil to make them resistant to moisture, rain. Heck even the boots I have bought in the past that stated waterproof, got my feet wet. Unless they are rubber boots, the best I believe any boot can offer is "water resistant", but waterproof is an exaggeration in my opinion.
