Single Mounted Heat Troller

[luvtoride]

In the market for a new mounted heat troller for my gerbings liner. The old one went tits up awhile ago. I do believe the one that I will be looking for is made by Warm & Safe/First Gear... & not the Gerbings heat troller. I have already looked for one @ a couple of different places. The best price that I have found is about $83.00 shipped. Is anyone aware of a good place for me to get one for a decent price? If that is the best that I'll be able to do, then I'll buy it... but figured that it's worth a try to ask here.

Have you looked into Warm & Safe's Trade-up program? If you qualify it might be a good deal. (I traded up a couple of years ago to their dual remote (wireless) controller and have been very happy with the upgrade.)

 

[luvtoride]

Huh? How does that trade up program work? What are you trading up? The old harness that doesn't work?

Keep looking. WarmnSafe offers many discounts.

For example, AMA members get 18% off, some forums

get 20% off. That's about $64, plus shipping.

I used this for my Widder heated vest, $8.99 on amazon. It works absolutely great for me:

It was about 930 Hz PWM:

I would think it's the whole controller and the harness but yeah, I believe so. Also not sure about it being operable or not but don't think it has to be. Start here.

It was about 930 Hz PWM:

8A @ 12VDC? 96 Watts max

FWIW, my jacket's draw is 105W (plus gloves), so watch those specs/ratings.

That's true. If you are over 96W you will need 2

My widder vest is only 76W.

All of our Gerbing inventory has been sold except for a few items. You may want to wait for the new Gyde product that allows remote temp adjustment, wireless connection to your phone and really frees up your options for locating the controller.

Gerbing has been rebranded and is now Gyde. The new inventory will be available for us the beginning of November.

Your other option is to utilize the cheaper, yet same controller made by Tourmaster. Snergy 2.0 controller will run you about 1/2 what you quoted earlier. PM me if you haven't found a replacement yet.
