[QUOTE="CAJW, post: 363682, member: 1055"] Tried out my new 90W First Gear Heated Jacket and Carbon heated gloves today. At a chill factor of 23 degrees, everything heated was toasty with the dual heat troller running about 50% of max for most of the time. Ran the Cal Sci windscreen about 3 inches below full up which kept the face the warmest. Jacket and gloves performed as advertised although I think my Aerostich KEL was better on the backs of the arms. (Probably cause' FG puts stretch material there!). Wore a long sleeve t-shirt, heated jacket, fleece pullover, [URL="https://www.schampa.com/Item.asp?IID=1088"]https://www.schampa.com/Item.asp?IID=1088[/URL] dickie and my 2 pc Roadcrafter. Long johns, two pr socks, jeans and Oxtar Matrix Gortex boots kept me nice and warm. The alternator (stock) performance was impressive which read 14.0-14.2V most of the time and when I kicked on the SOLTEK Fuegos dropped to 12.1V for about 6-8 seconds (till the Fuegos warmed up) then back up to 12.5V and held steady. Items running at the time were: Heated Gloves 50% Heated Jacket 50% Heated Grips on High Headlights on Hi-Beam SOLTEK Fuegos on Escort 8500 on volt readout Conclusion - First gear stuff works well together with the sleeve exit wiring for the gloves being long enough to plug in easlily. Had to purchase hook up wiring for my Powerlet from [URL="https://www.powerletproducts.com/products.php?mid=1"]https://www.powerletproducts.com/products.php?mid=1[/URL] as Cycle Gear only sells the jacket, gloves and heat troller. 2 thumbs up for this set up!
