Warm and Safe Heated Gear


Editor's Note: After the wonderful Gerbing brand was sold to an investor group and manufactured in China I started having trouble with reliability of their heated motorcycle gear. Searching for an alternative I came across Warm and Safe. I ride with a full set of their liners and have been more than happy. When I had an issue with one of their controllers they fixed it fast, no charge, no questions. I love the founder Mike Coan's quirky blog and rambling writings. Here is his latest email; I do not know about the Anderson Cooper connection to which he refers. Oh and there's a discount code if you read to the end. Enjoy.

I know people accuse me of rambling, but I've got to ramble on this. Why would Anderson Cooper spend $3000 at the Warming store for Chinese designed old style heated clothing? True, they have a website that they must have spent lots of money on to get them in the top search positions in Google while we spend the money on designing great products. If any of you know how to do this, let me know. All we know how to do is make great gear.

It also bugs me when I look at a website and it says something like “our 7.4V heated layer will run 10 hours on a 2.2amp battery” I want to scream "HOW!!". Do the math people! 3 areas of heat on a 2.2amp battery claiming they can run 10 hours. How warm can it get if it is 2.2Amps per hour divided over 10 hours? That is .22Amps times 7.4Volts which gives you 1.6Watts of heat. But if you take the heat element and cram it into a small space, you will feel heat. But not much so why deceive your customers? Our heat layer will give you 8 hours of heat at 12watts of heat in 7 areas. You can get more heat if you want to run less time. And if you want 10 hours then 10watts of heat.

This has been one of the coldest winters and there are lots of people that need 7.4V Heat Layers from the people working in weather to people going to watch their kids play sports to hunters and to the elderly and those with MS, Lupus and Raynaud’s, and they should not think that to stay warm they need to shell out $3000 dollars or get ripped off by people that have no clue what they are selling since they did not put in the effort to design it.

Pass the word, let people know they can buy affordable heated clothing both for on the motorcycle and off. They can even get a discount by using the promo code “NL19” good until the end of February. Think about the people that need to stay warm and they will thank you. Post it on your forums, tweet it, pass the word please.
Thanks,
Mike Coan
