BEEstY
Dave Having owned Zarkie gear for over 2 years now and wearing it a lot in my vast travels I can really vouch for its warmth. I have the hard wired version and the first Farkle on BEEstY was the hard wired plug for my Zarkie Venture Heat gear.
I have the whole kit and caboodle being boot liners, pants full vest and gloves. STranger, STrangler and BEEstY have the hardwire connection.
Just this last week I used all the gear all the time on the Border Run and was comfortably warm on low setting. I once did a lot of night riding and on 1 trip down thru Guyra it had snowed (almost) and was in the minus Celsius range but I was able to continue through the night home because I was warm and my hands didn't freeze from wind-chill.
Its a shame I've already kitted up coz I missed the discount, its not cheap either but worth every penny but I think I've saved heaps in not needing to motel up from being cold. When I purchased my Zarkie Venture gear I was kept up to date with my order as Scott was waiting on a container held up on a ship.
I have only had 1 problem with the gear, my right arm glove lead has somehow broken wires but I have created a fix using sewing needles to make the connection again. Its something I'll email Scott about, not to seek getting it replaced/repaired but to let them know of a potential issues other people might encounter.
here's a picture of me in my underwear, all heated by Venture Heat supplied by Scott @ Zarkie, the only Australian distributor.
