How does Heated Clothing work on a motorcycle?
12V motorcycle heated clothing is connected to the bikes electrical system. First step: A battery cord is installed on the battery with a receiver plug left somewhere convenient to the side of the bike (behind a panel or under seat). Second step: A controller is connected between the battery cord and the heated garment. This can be a simple on/off switch or a variable electronic controller. For short trips (20 minute commute) a on/off switch is ok. However, the garment will always receive full power and it is therefore not the ideal setup. Investing in a Heat-Troller is the better way to go. Heat-Trollers come in single and dual (for 2 separate control zones) and portable, dash or velcro mounted. Third step: Enjoy a comfortable ride. With a single controller you can control the vest or jacket liner and any other item you connect to the vest (gloves or pants). However, if you do have other items connected, it is better to be able to control, for instance vest and gloves, as separate zon
