I've had my Gerbing heated gloves for about 6 years now and they've had a hard life, lots of winter use, long distance trials etc etc. A couple of weeks ago the left glove packed in ,apparently it's always the left one which gives up the ghost first due to using the clutch.
Anyway, I called up Gerbing to enquire if they did a repair service and they responded by saying there was no need for a repair, the electrical elements in the gloves were covered by Gerbing's lifetime guarantee! I sent the old kit back and got new gloves by return of post. Very impressive service
 
That?s bloody good service Bob.
What are the gloves like in everyday use, easy to connect/disconnect, regulate etc?
I?ve had some cheapo heated grips gathering dust on my shelf for years while my fingers freeze off, maybe gloves are a better option.
 
Tippie, The gloves have been great and I've worn them in preference to others even when I'm not using them as heated gloves. The replacement gloves are slightly different but still seem good. In terms of regulation they sometimes get too warm , this is partly my fault because I was too much of a cheapskate to buy the ?30 adjustable thermostat. Now I've got a new set I'll be investing in a regulator.
I always forget to disconnect myself from the bike at when dismounting and the jack plug just detaches itself harmlessly.

Tim, I eschewed the Gerbing willie warmer , mainly because I didn't want to burden the bike with the weight of  all that copper wire in the heating element.
 
They're doing some modfications on the Willie warmer.... there were problems with it rolling to and fro on sweepers, so I returned mine and they told me they are doing mods......they said Bobs was not having that problem, since it was the "sparrow" model (made for little peckers)... so his was fine.....
