Wow its hot
Just replaced my old jacket and new one didn’t come with a liner. Could have hone with a wool sweater but then its pulling it on .. off and having to stop to do that. Figured with this I can pit heat on in the am, turn it off as it warms up and can open jacket vents as it warms before I finally have to pull over to take it off. HOLY BBQ Batman! On max this thing will cook a wild boar! I could see using it on a snowmobile at -50C. At 5C I give it 4 clicks and it warms everywhere but the forearms especially, and the warmth on my back feels just like I’m riding on a +25C day. I only regret not getting one of these years ago. Sizing: I got the medium which is for chest size 41 to 43. My chest is 43 and it fits slightly snug and I’m pretty lean. I think size M would be ok up to maybe 35.9 inch waist. If you’re 36+ I would suggest buying L.

Nice fitting jacket
The 3XL fits me great. My fat gut measures in at about 49". I have big shoulders and that part fits well. It has some stretch to it with elastic panels on the sides, so it works out as a great fit over a light shirt without being baggy or loose.
The heat is great. I built my own power controller. You definitely need a variable power controller. Riding a mountain pass at about +5C it was comfortable at about 50% power. It would be way to warm at full power.
The power connectors are standard 5.5mm x 2.5mm coaxial connectors. The most common ones are 5.5x2.1mm - these are slightly larger (same outside, but with a larger inner pin). They are used in reverse in that the female is used to supply power instead of the more common male supplying power. This is just info for anybody that might be considering their own power wiring.

Keeps me warm but does not breath
I've now used this down to 2C under my jacket and it keeps me much warmer on a low setting. U leave some vents open on my jacket to provide some air movement through the jacket to move moisture out. I would give it 5 stars if it b breathed a little better and wicked away moisture.

Incredibly small
The jacket is probably fine, but it’s incredibly small. A women’s Large would probably fit someone who is max 5’ tall and under 100 lbs. it’s minuscule.

Great warm liner!
I commute every day about an hour each way, and find on mornings that the temp is below 10 degrees I get very cold. I tried this jacket and glove liners this morning when it was 6 degrees and Holy mama was I warm! I started out with it on the highest setting but I was roasting in minutes and had to turn it down a couple notches. Very pleased with this, product and happy I made the investment. I'll definitely be able to ride a lot more :)

Not for tall people, No cables or instructions.
Went with the largest size currently available - 3XL and although the sleeve and chest fit were suitable, the jacket was way too short for 6'4" me.
Contacted the manufacturer about SIX TIMES in total (1x web portal, 1x chat, then 4x phone) before I was finally able to get my question answered - was this jacket intentionally designed to be short due to seated position on motorcycle (it came to immediately below my navel)? Eventually got to speak with someone on my last phone call, and confirmed my suspicions that this jacket was not for me. I also learned that they don't make these jackets for taller people. So I had to return it. Am grateful for the Fortnine return policy.
In addition to there not being a version for taller humans, two major NEGATIVES of this jacket is that there were no instructions included at all, and although it's a 12v jacket, there were no cables provided to hook it up to the bike. NONE. Any cables required to get power to this jacket must be purchased separately. Oh, and if you have an existing SAE pigtail, forget about using that one since this jacket uses a proprietary connection. You have to use an adapter (sold separately) though I'm sure they sell a pigtail with their propietary connection. Want to be able to turn the jacket on/off as necessary? Sold separately.
Only plus I saw with this jacket was that it apparently pairs up with heated gloves, but since I didn't get any instructions, I don't know how.
I cannot speak to the heating effectiveness of the jacket as I never got to try it. Unfortunately the delay by the manufacturer responding to my length question took up most of the return period and the absence of instructions meant that while I could have GUESSED what to do with the (sold separately) adapter and extension/on-off cord I ordered, I chose not to as that could have caused damage to the jacket or my bike if I did something wrong.
I ended up purchasing a different jacket from my local motorcycle shop, and that one came with both an on/off switch AND a nice long SAE pigtail, all in the one price.

Questions
Are the arms heated as well?
Hello! Just to clarify that I work with Gears Canada, the company that manufactures the GEN X4 Heated Jacket Liners, and I can confirm that the arms are heated as well!
