A: Yes! All our heated clothing is compatible with Firstgear, Gerbing, Warm & Safe, and Venture Heat. If you own heated leg chaps from another brand that have male connectors near the bottom and you want to use these heated insoles, then you will need an adapter (SKU 100386-1) to connect them.

Q: What is the difference between Gen-X3 and Gen-X4?

A: Gen-X3 uses a copper-based heating element (made in the USA), whereas Gen-X4 uses Zepto fibres (made in France). Thus, Gen-X4 heats up faster, generates more heat, and is lighter. Both are amazing products, but Gen-X4 is just a little bit of an upgrade!
