I picked up these liners back in early October along with the Powerlet rapidFIRe Jacket Liner With Dual Wireless Controller Package. I stopped in the Revzilla store while in Philly and had no experience with heated gear at that time. The very helpful guys there suggested this combo for me. I took their advice and was very very pleased.

I took off on a cross country tour from late November until Christmas and there were more than a few times these liners saved the day. One mountain crossing in New Mexico was particularly cold - about 16 degrees I think and these liners paired with a good set of Held waterproof gloves kept me rocking on.

As another reviewer said, these can get pretty hot if you crank them up so most of the time I didn't have them set on the "bacon" setting. I did notice a couple of "hot spots" - the middle finger on each hand would get really hot if you cranked them up. That wasn't a deal-breaker though - most of the time it was a non-issue and the benefits far outweighed any minor inconvenience.

Overall the fit and quality are great for what they are. The liners fit nicely under several different pair of gloves I tried and are very easy to pack in a pocket when you don't need them. Buy these liners and I guarantee you won't be sorry. Buy them from the Revzilla team and I promise you you'll be back for more because the customer service here is unmatched.. not just in the powersports industry, but just about anywhere!

I bought these along with "Powerlet 5 Position Digital Glove and Sock Temperature Controller". The liners are perfect. I wear medium size gloves and here I ordered Size: SM/MD and it fits perfectly. Installation of the controller set that comes with "Powerlet 5 Position Digital Glove and Sock Temperature Controller" is extremely easy. You have to install the harness directly to the battery and there is a female-lead at the end that fits the male-lead comes out of the 5 position controller. When you park your motorcycle and leave then you have to disengage these connection and the motorcycle battery won't be in use then. So there won't be any issue of battery discharging. It took me less than 10 minutes to install them. I used it at 30 F and 65 mph for 1 hour at controller setting of #3 and did not feeling any cold in my fingers or palm. I wear them under my winter gloves that goes till upper 30s F at 65 mph. The controller kit does not includes "Powerlet Heated Glove Y Cable" and I did not need them to use with these liners because the controller wires are sufficiently long to go through my sleeves and connect the liners and still I keep some length of the wires folded. I would definitely recommend them along with the "Powerlet 5 Position Digital Glove and Sock Temperature Controller". You won't need any accessory other than these lines and "Powerlet 5 Position Digital Glove and Sock Temperature Controller" (and a pair of gloves) for winter riding.

Every year, I've called myself a year-round rider, but haven't actually done it. This year, I decided to bite the bullet and invest in some heated gear. I only have the gloves currently, so I bought the kit, so that I can control the temperature. There are 5 setting, 5 being the hottest. Most of the time, I only use level 1. Briefly on the highway at 50 degrees, I used level 2. Level 3 is too hot for me to take for any extended period of time. I have no qualms that these little firebombs will be able to sufficiently heat my hands, even at 0-degree temps.

Control is easy, heat is immediate, draw on my battery is minimal. If you have a good pair of gloves that retain heat to begin with, these should allow for riding in any temperature.

Does "Powerlet 5 Position Digital Glove and Sock Temperature Controller" is compatible with these liners?

I need medium size liners and the same "liners kit" is currently out of stock. Does "Powerlet 5 Position Digital Glove and Sock Temperature Controller" go with these liners? If it does, then do I need to purchase anything else with these liners and "Powerlet 5 Position Digital Glove and Sock Temperature Controller".

Answer:

Yes, that is the same type that is used in the kit. The only thing you would need extra is the y-harness.

Do you only sell a kit for one of the heated glove liners? Why not the other? Does the one without the kit come with the cord that goes down your sleeves?

Answer:

I will assume you are referring to the two Powerlet rapidFIRe Heated Glove Liner products. If you are actually referring to heated glove liners of a different brand (Gerbing´s, Firstgear, Tour Master, Mobile Warming) what follows will still be accurate, but incomplete.

You can either buy the Powerlet gloves by themselves, with no additional wires, or buy an entire kit. The kit has exactly the same gloves, plus wires that connect the gloves to a controller, a controller, a battery harness, and a lanyard to wear around your neck. The kit is everything you need for warm hands (excluding a motorcycle).

So -

The gloves are exactly the same, and heat the same.

The one that is not a kit, does not come with cords that go down your sleeves. This is a separte item, search for Powerlet Heated Glove Y Cable ($14.95)

Answer:

Most heated clothing uses coax connectors, as do these glove liners from Powerlet, as does First Gear.

So - yes, you should be able to plug the glove connectors on your First Gear liner directly into your Powerlet glove liners.

That said - until proven to work, don't order beer.
