This sounds good if the price is right and the Kit performs well. I'd be interested in a back to back comparison test between the above Kit and the Gerbing and Warm & Safe.

Gerbing have been making heated gear for 20 years or so .... and from talking to the owner of Warm & Safe several times I know he went through many Beta tester generations until he got a good result from his jacket. There is something to this electric jacket thing.

In the US riders have been using electric clothing for over 25 yeas. I've had my Gerbing for 12 years and had an Eclipse vest before that (Bad) and a BMW Vest before that (Bad Also!). The Gerbing is the first one to actually work as advertised. The Warm & Safe is just as good or better but your bike needs a lot of AC output to handle it.

If the heated jacket Kit guys know what their up to, could be a good solution to sew in your self. My impression is UK riders don't know much about and don't have much experience with heat jackets or heated clothing in general. I was shocked in 2001 when I was visiting/traveling in the UK .... and it was FREEZING ... and no one had heated gear! (except me .... I never travel without my Gerbing)

I lent a friend my Gerbing to try, he was instantly Gob smacked, went straight out and bought one. This guy was doing daily a commute through most of Winter.

So ... Try before you buy.
