Will this run heated gear, like jacket liner or gloves? I would like to wear them off the bike, when walking the dog or at a game.

It should, has USB port and charges iPhone and Tablets just fine, so why not? Powerful enough to jump start my lawn tractor and my wife's Jeep, so it should have enough "OOMPH!" to run a heated jacket! :) Good luck!

Email the factory. I did, and they gave a nice, lucid, well-timed response. I am not electrically trained, experienced, or inclined, so I really have no clue and wouldn't even hazard a guess. I know it will start my truck. I have confidence it will start my bike if needed.

I think it will keep you warm not sure about fit for physical activity though. The heat reflective technology is very effective.

Quite well. They warm up very quickly and create heat all over my hands. The best part is that there are no wires throughout the glove liners. They are thin liners. You may have to order a larger pair of gloves to accommodate the additional layer though. You could try them with your current gloves and see how they fit before having to order new larger gloves. I am able to use my current gloves, although they are a bit tight but workable. Wish I have purchased these years ago.

it is a very warm jacket without the heating part. The only think that could be better is the battery life. Does not last more the about 2-3 hrs on med heat

The material is thin, so just a rash guard. It does keep your core warm if you wear a layer over it. I used it during a Tough Mudder in Seattle and it actually kept me "warm".

Depends upon the thickness or weight of the thermals. I've used under armor cold gear thermals, which didn't breath well due to their thickness. On the other hand my REI thermals breathed great but lacked warmth. From my experience merino wool provides a good in between.

Yes! It actually gets a bit hot, even on a cold day. I use it as an air filter in Beijing which is also cold in winter. Haven't worn it while riding a bike though.

I am not sure if I am the one to answer that question -I live in Phoenix AZ - I know that they are very secure & you can wear them in several position ( mine came with instructions) I have worn mine in as cold as 35 degrees and have been very satisfied but it is not lined with extra material, you can however bunch it up for extra thickness around the areas you want to keep warm

I don't know about that. When you wear the glove liners, it makes your gloves warmer. If you get too hot, you can take off the outer pair. Might be worth a try , and don't cost much.

I only use it for biking. I'm not a runner, so I don't know what you'd be looking for in a jacket for running. I should think it would be OK as a windbreaker, though.

The thermal ones would, but I would be too hot. I think a smart wool would work better. Michigan winter. Depends on your intensity of workout

Since this jacket was designed for motorcycle riding, the leather is heavy. regardless of the weight, I wear my jacket for casual wear as well as riding. Additionally, the jacket is very warm with the liner installed.

I've had them on mine for all last winter and aside of heated gloves, this is the best bang for the buck you'll get. Not as good as gloves, but with a decent pair of insulateds, you won't be getting very cold. Careful with the high setting at mild temperatures; I believe they might melt or delaminate some gloves! Takes a little while to heat up, but hold heat a while after shutting off too.

Great liners, and they work amazingly for their thinness. I just used these for winter camping up in the North Woods of Wisconsin. During four days in the great outdoors, using these in conjunction with non-insulated windproof gloves, my hands stayed warm and toasty. Even after my gloves got wringing wet, my hands stayed warm. Wrung out the gloves, put them back on, felt the cold dampness for a minute ,than the liner started doing its job, trapping body heat and keeping moisture away from my skin. Wearing the same gloves without the liners, while stringing Christmas lights for 4 hours, my hands used to get cold, but not anymore. These things really work.

I just use spandex gloves when using it. They are enough to keep from getting burned, and otherwise, it seems to work as advertised.

No they would not be warm enough for biking in below zero temps. That's not what they were made for. They are meant to retain water so one may keep their body temperature more easily. If you want something to handle very cold water, you want something thicker or made for that kind of thing. These are more for mildly cold and warm water. If you want to bike in below zero temps then just buy winter gloves or something.

I wouldn't recommend these for bike riding, I would recommend Harbinger wrist guards for that. And these typically run one size small; so I usually wear a small glove, but I wear a medium in these wrist guards (and they're snug). They are super durable though if you think your going to be falling off your bike lol :)
