I have two First Gear heated jacket liners. 75 watts and 45 watts. I am using 45 watts on my 250 which has a very low powered stator. Well due to Covid I was getting a little fat and none of my Firstgear jacket liners fitted. I had the first gear in the largest size, which wasn't big enough. So I went with the Venture heater as it was expected to use a lot of heater wire and have a similar built in controller knob. It even uses the same power plug as the first gear. Unfortunately, at max power, the Venture Heat isn't as warm as First Gear's 45w liner, let alone the 75w liner. First gear on max will fry me when I'm at a traffic light. This jacket is pleasantly warm in the light. At speed without a windshield, first gear is a bit cold in the front, hot in the rear and burns my arms unless I'm wearing a long-sleeved shirt. The Venture's heat never gets hot enough to burn my hands, and it doesn't heat as efficiently. My front will be cold, my back will be cold and my hands will be cold. It definitely takes the edge off the sharpness, but on a 42-degree day, first course is your best bet. However, Venture Heat does come in large men's sizes, while First Gear does not. If I had never had a first gear deployment, I would have thought it's the bomb. But it's just not that efficient. It's comfortable, fits well and is cushioned enough to be used as a standalone windbreaker. Cables are stowed away in the inner pocket as with the original equipment. I leave that and keep using it because it fits, but because it's not that effective I have to apply more layers, which I don't like.
