Warm N Safe has the Generation Waterproof colored liners on sale. Red or Yellow in the Men's and Red, Yellow or Grey for women.

We had Gerbing jackets since 2003. They worked good but I did not like that they didn't have zippered pockets to hide the three cords when not used.
Debbie didn't like how the rib knit waist would ride up her back.
The Color waterproof breathable heated jacket liners have been on sale for awhile and when I saw a extra 20% discount code on the ADV Forum in the Vendor forum we decide to order a couple.
My Red jacket cost $144, Yellow would have been $120. Debbie's Grey jacket cost $120.
Even without the ADV discount the jackets are a good buy.
I normally wear size Large and the Warm N Safe Large fit me. Debbie normally wears Large but hers was too small (short in the arms and body plus a little tight) and had to exchange for XL.
With mailing hers back she ended up all in for $140 for her jacket.
Turn around time was very fast. I used Priority mail and Warm N Safe used Priority Mail and the turn around time was seven days. Iowa to Oregon.
The waterproof breathable material has a nice soft feel and they have a nice look when not covered by your riding jacket.
Both liners have reflective material.

This jacket liner is considerably cheaper than the current model of the Sedici Hotwired jacket liner (probably because of the carbon fibre elements). I have the original version since 2014 and it still works well. That one cost about $110 if memory serves correctly.

I have a Gerbing signature edition wind stop. Same complaints as Debbie, plus it seems to have hot spots and areas that aren't well enough heated. This is from the days of wire elements. Just before the mat type of heaters came out. I have the mat type gloves and they work great (Always at max heat, but it's enough). Does the Warm & Safe give a really even heat?

The Warm N Safe costs more. Regular price for the waterproof is $290 and $250 for the non waterproof. That does not include a controller.
Warm N Safe uses a thin mats but you still feel the heavier connecting wires.
I think Gerbing Microwire was the same way.
The last few years we were using a single wireless Warn N Safe controller with our Gerbing gear so we did not need to buy a new controller.
You can use a single or dual controller with Warm N Safe.
If a person has a older bike with a weaker charging system there is a 65 Watt jacket.

We also bought Gerbing gloves back in 2003. They are the older style. We have not used them in quite a few years because they are too bulky unless you're on interstates.
We were able to use a single controller with the gloves and jacket because the K1200RS and K1300S had little hand protection so the gloves never got hotter than the jacket.
We also have heated insoles but don't use them now because the RS has built in foot warmers

Lee,
Thanks for the link.
How is the collar on the jacket? I have a Gerbing and the collar is way too big ..it leaves a big gap that lets wind in and the extra material is tough to manage with the collars on the Stitch and my other winter jackets.

It's about right for me. My Gerbing neck was actually too tight and I could not zip it all the way up.
The collar is lined with a thin fleece. Out Gerbing collar was nylon inside and out.
I think the newer Gerbings had a fleece lined collar.

My neck measures 16" around. The size large jacket collar measures 19" around.
