Looking at Purchasing some heated gear...

Should I get the full heated jacket liner? or Does the vest do well enough?

I expect the lowest temps I'll see from time to time to be in the 20's....

I vote liner, keeps the arms warm which take on more of the cold wind. Not to mention the sleeves have the plugs for the gloves. I love my heated gear.

I got the firstgear heated jacket and gloves and have great reviews for both, I like to have the arm,s warm also. All I wear in 30 degrees is longsleeve t-shirt w/ jacket liner and heated liner w/ heated gloves awesome, maybe it will matter if you have mirror delfectors, I,m sure you will get plenty advice here, Mine were easy to wire with inline fuse, straight to battery

Started off with the vest since I was too cheap to buy the jacket liner, big mistake, worked with Gerbring and was able to get some credit for the vest which was applied towards the liner.

Get the liner Chris, You wont be sorry you did.;) I have the Warm and Safe liner, UNTMatt and I hit 27 degree temps on the way to Chucks house in Jan.and I only had it turned up about half way. I think it will get hot enough for what your looking for.

Yeah.. you want the whole liner.. really nice to feel the warmth on your arms and that helps keep your hands warm.

Liner. My outer arms were always coldest. On the ST the air comes over the fairing right onto the arms

Tank,
I have the Warmnsafe liner and am very happy with it. One thing to consider is the draw on your system. As I don't know what else you're running I'm *** uming you'll be fine with any of the name brands. I can vouch for WnS as I bought a pair of gloves and had a minor problem with them. Within 3 days they sent me an entire new pair So I tend to like co's that stand behind their product.
