Gerbing 7V Heated Jackets

Gerbing 7V Heated Jacket Buying Guide

A heated jacket's real-world warmth depends as much on how you wear it as on the heat setting. Worn under a wind- and water-resistant shell, a Gerbing 7V jacket feels dramatically warmer than the same jacket worn as an outer layer, because the shell stops the heat from escaping to the air. Most people run it on high for the first few minutes to warm up, then settle to medium to hold temperature and stretch the battery.

Jacket or Vest?

A jacket covers the arms and gives full upper-body warmth, which is what you want in the harshest cold or if your hands and arms run cold. If you want more freedom of movement or plan to layer heavily, a heated vest warms the core with less bulk. Both share the same 7V battery, so switching between them doesn't mean buying new power.

Complete the System

The core is the highest-value place to heat, but the extremities are where you feel the cold first. Add 7V heated gloves and heated socks to cover the hands and feet a jacket can't reach, and keep a spare battery charged for all-day outings.

Compare Across Brands

Gerbing jackets lean rugged and motorcycle-grade. For a lighter, more everyday cut, compare Venture Heat heated jackets. If you ride, the wired 12V line runs off the bike instead of a battery.
