Most of the thermostatic controls do not "rob" power. They work on a duty cycle concept. You turn it on full, and it stays on 100% of the time. You turn it down to half way, and the controller turns the vest on and off, keeping power to it 50% of the time.lorazepam said:My thermostatic control is an on off switch. I get cold, turn it on, I get too warm, turn it off. Costs almost nothing compared to the power robbing thermostat controller.
This is the older, less expensive style vest that BMW sells. The new style has some kind of electroresistive fabric in it. (The tag that lists what the vest is made of includes "1% aluminum".)thx1158 said:I have one and have used it for about five years in the Mid-Atlantic region. It would NOT buy it again. I works...but not well. Fit is important so you need one that fits close to your body. I'd highly recommend Gerbing or another after market source. The BMW vest is made by Widder, so if you MUST have one...buy the Widder and save some cash.
