FINALLY! Tourmaster has upped the ante on the Synergy heated clothing so it's on par with the other stuff on the market.
I had my old heated vest sent back in for warranty because the grommet where the main lead conects to the jacket had torn out. In the mean time I got the store to give me a replacement so I didn't freeze. It is totally redesigned and MUCH better. I used it last night coming home from DC in 32 degree temps and it was awesome.
Where before I would have only recommended the Tourmaster stuff for the budget minded, I would now say it goes head to head with anything Gerbing has to offer.
So Coleman Powersports "lent" me the new vest and if Tourmaster gives me a new one Coleman can have it or if they repair the old one I'll just buy the new one and keep the old one as a spare.
I highly encourage anybody to look at the the new Tourmaster Synergy heated gear if you need cold weather clothing.
