Its
gift giving season and time to come up with those great ideas that will
surprise and elate your significant other. For those of us that are a
bit luckier, we can also write a list or leave little hints around that
will let your friends and family members know what you really want this
year.
For us die-hard motorcycle riders that could mean
new gear that can help us enjoy riding year round. But there are
important practices for assuring a comfortable ride in cold conditions
that start with layering clothing built specifically for the sport. Put
these items on your Christmas list and cruise year round in style and
comfort.
Gerbing’s Heated Clothing One
of the coolest things to know about Gerbing’s heated clothing is its
Microwire design. Developed specifically for special ops forces, the
Microwire was built to meet the military’s stringent requirements for
durability, light weight and rapid heating ability. Now patented and
packaged in a variety of Gerbing’s products, you can outfit yourself
from head to toe with heated insoles, socks, pants and jacket liners,
and gloves.
Eagle Leather Customers Love their Gerbing’s For
most Eagle Leather customers, they say heated gear is the way to beat
the cold. “A heated jacket liner does wonders all by itself!” Seattle
Teamster said on our Facebook page. Ed Revet added that he prefers
heated gear and notes that it doesn’t warm up [and get uncomfortably
warm] as you’re riding. He implies heated grips and a heated seat are
good too.
Two Facebook contributors even noted that wearing
heated gear eliminates the need for layers. Kristin Lipke Eberly said
that with hear heated gear, “more than two layers and I start to feel
like the Michelin Man.” And Janice Plattner noted: “Just bought
Gerbing's heated gear, going to love not having to put on 6 layers!
Yey!”
When you come into Eagle Leather to try on any of these
items – or if you are buying a Gerbing’s item as a gift -- be sure to
ask about how the controller works and how each piece of Gerbing’s
clothing is easily connected to the other.

Yet, there’s no denying it: Unless you plan to ride exclusively around the Southern United States, you’ll face some chilly winters. And even before it...
