Gerbing, liner, and Free Will
That said, I favor a Gerbing liner because my arms get cold too. I've owned several Gerbing products and also had them wire the liner of my FirstGear TKO jacket - they're a first-rate company with excellent products and service.
Widder may be equally good, but I have no experience with them.

Gerbings
I chose Gerbings and have been very happy with the jacket. My longest coldest ride was in February 2004 of air temperature of 19 degrees F sustained speeds of 60 and about three hours.

Maryanne
Maryanne for sure.
I have no experience with Widder prooducts so I am not offering an opinion on which is better just what I have.
I have the Gerbing jacket liner and am very pleased. It is light weight and not restrictive. When I need heat it is there in spades. I prefer the liner vs vest to keep my arms warm. If you go with a jacket liner resist the temptation to go larger for perceived comfort. The more form fitting the liner the better heat transfer to your body. If you plan on using heated gloves at some point ensure you get the liner that is wired to plug in the gloves. If I recall there two types of wiring offered.

Take that!
On cold days, Maryanne wears a Gerbings liner of her own free will.

It was 29 degrees when I left the house this morning. The Gerbing jacket/liner did a fine job of keeping me warm.
