Gerbing Gloves Review – Are they any good?

We are constantly asked whether Gerbing is a decent brand. Is it gimmicky? What’s the quality like? Does it actually do what it says on the tin?

As part of our Gerbing gloves review, we answer your questions.

Having been stockists and users of Gerbing gear for years, I can say with a decent dose of confidence that Gerbing is one of my favourite products. It is practical. It is reasonably priced. It looks good, but more importantly, it works well. Like any product from any manufacturer, there is the occasional fault – but with a lifetime warranty on the heating elements and the helpful customer service of Gerbing UK, it really is a no-brainer. Put simply, you’re buying quality heated clothing with the assurance of a lifetime warranty.

So, as part of our Gerbing gloves review, we’ll now deal with each question in turn.

Is it gimmicky?

In two words – absolutely not. Having been the original ambassador for Gerbing in our store, I had the unenviable task of winning the boss (a hardened biker, but also my Dad) over – and he very strongly thought that electric heated clothing was not to be taken seriously. Quite right that he should think that too, because prior to Gerbing, it was very much a gimmicky market (even now, there are some questionable brands in the market – we have steered well clear, and so should you!). But, having kitted him up in Gerbing (much to his initial dismay), the boss was soon won over, and we became stockists. The rest is Two Wheel Centre history…

Note: as a salesperson, it is all good and well me telling you this, so if you want more impartial assurance, I urge you to speak to any serious biker who has ridden with Gerbing heated gloves or a Gerbing jacket liner, and ask them about the difference it made to them on those cold days spent riding their bike. They’ll say something along the lines of “I’ll never go back to riding without it”.

Next FAQ:

Are they good quality?

In one word this time: yes. As I said in my opening paragraph, it would be impossible to find a product which has never had a faulty article, but that’s why you have the peace of mind of a lifetime warranty on the heating elements in the various Gerbing gloves, jackets and trousers. Gerbing also happen to be one of the easiest companies we’ve dealt with when it comes to warranty issues. They have a really simple process to rectify the issue and get you back on the road (warm!) a.s.a.p. Also, we here at Two Wheel Centre are always keen to help our customers, whether new or old, whether warranty or not. 100% back up is always a good indicator of quality, so have peace of mind.

Does it actually do what it says on the tin?

Absolutely. There’s no two ways about it. Gerbing heated clothing is incredible. You will wonder why you didn’t use it earlier. The Microwire Heating Technology delivers consistent, focused warmth, and each pair of Gerbing gloves is supplied with an in-line temperature controller so you can have four-phase heat at the flick of a switch. Focusing on the gloves for a second, there’s a great choice to suit all purposes – from the armoured Gerbing XR12 Gloves to the simple (yet wonderfully comfortable) Gerbing G12 Gloves, there’s certainly something to cater for your preferences. And with each item, that same consistent warmth comes as standard. You really do have to try it to believe it.
