Heat controller for heated undersuit - how many power levels are needed?

[broncobowsher]

I’m not sure if they still say it but Santi recommended against using a pitkin controller because of the kind of heating elements they use

Have a Santi undersuit. Never saw any warning with it. Is this some new warning?

I can't imagine trying to dive with just on/off. Other heated stuff I deal with on my car. Heated steering wheel (yes, it is nice) is just on/off. Thankfully after the initial warm up I turn it off and don't care about continued heat. The heated seats are off/low/high. That is much more comfortable. Most new stuff (I don't have a new enough car to have it, but I do ride in them) has off/low/med/high. They do well. Can't really see a need for more than that. Too much adjustment can just get annoying if you have to cycle through it. And the one that really sucks, friend inherited a Toyota that has just on/off. Never having had heated seats before they thought that was great. Showed them what other heated seats are, he hates them now.

Cheers! I have found a controller that has low / medium / high and a couple of other nice features so I might go with that.
