• To hook up directly to the 12V battery in your powersport vehicle, you will need to add on the:
• Y-switch-cord for Heated Socks/Insoles (SKU 100233-1)
• Coax Battery Cord (SKU 100227-1)
• If you already own the GEARS Gen-X3 or Gen-X4 heated leg chaps, no additional wiring is required as these heated insoles can connect directly to the hideaway plugs at the bottom of each chap

Q: Will this work alongside other brands of heated clothing?

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 socks, 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!
