With gloves and vest used there is a wiring harness that you safety pin inside your jacket lining with a wire going down each sleeve terminating in a quick disconnect for the gloves. The other end goes to a quick disconnect near your waist for the vest to plug into. Janie uses a small inline switch that she can flip on and off to keep her toasty. The wiring continues thru another quick disconnect and now we are connecting to the bikes electrical system. The cord goes directly to the bike battery thru an inline fuse for short circuit protection.
Operation is very simple.
Sit on the bike, make the single connection thru the disconnect and ride off. As you desire heat flip the switch on. It is better to try and anticipate being cold since if you wait until you are uncomfortable it takes awhile for the heat to catch up. The Widder inline switch is easy to operate even with gloves. Experience will teach you to leave rings off since they can get very warm.
