KEiS heated clothing - updates
UK based distributor Motohaus has built its KEiS heated clothing into one of the bestselling and most advanced ranges available in Europe, and demand has been so strong that additional manufacturing capacity was added recently.
Designed in the UK, the range is comprehensive, huge - from four different styles of heated motorcycle gloves (all EU PPE certified), heated leisure gloves and heated glove liners to three heated jackets, several heated vest and bodywarmer (gilet) designs, heated trousers and heated boot insoles and socks.
Widely regarded by reviewers and riders alike as one of the most durable, reliable and ergonomic heated apparel programmes yet devised, the heating technology that powers the KEiS line operates via a 12V power source, so they can be powered from either a supplied motorcycle battery power lead or an optional portable KEiS battery pack and work like far infrared.
The warmth penetrates the wearer’s body in a managed and progressive way - "more like being in a warm room rather than standing in front of a fire". KEiS garments contain heat generation panels made from very fine, yet incredibly strong micro carbon fibre. These are strategically positioned within the garments to provide lightweight, flexible far infrared warmth that is extremely comfortable and reliable.
The heating panels are so durable and effective that they are backed by a KEiS Apparel lifetime warranty. Seen here is a selection of recent 2022 updates and additions.
KEiS heated trousers
These new T103RP heated trousers from KEiS are made from a lightweight and breathable soft-shell fabric - with an elasticated waist - so they fit comfortably without restricting movement. When the temperature drops, strategically positioned heated panels with Micro Alloy Element Technology provide instant warmth. Power for the T103RP can come directly from the bike’s 12V battery - via the supplied power lead - or they can be connected to a KEiS heated jacket, bodywarmer or vest, for all-over warmth. The current draw is a modest 3.25A and typical power is a substantial 39W. A built-in connection flap allows riders to add an optional standard or Bluetooth KEiS power controller, optional extras, enabling the user to change the heat setting and to switch on and off.
KEiS 3-finger heated gloves
Described as "the ultimate in winter luxury", the design of these G301 three-finger heated motorcycle gloves reduces airflow over the surface of the fingers, to keep the heat in and cold out. Inside, each finger has an individual 'pocket' for added comfort and warmth and a luxurious feel. Like all KEiS heated gloves, they feature the latest technology in heat generation: micro carbon fibre panels across the back of the hands and over the top of the fingers - the areas most susceptible to wind chill. Powered from the bike’s 12V battery (using cables supplied) or using an optional battery. A layer of 3M Thinsulate offers improved warmth distribution throughout the glove, and a hydrophobic outer shell and Hipora waterproof and breathable membrane ensure 100% waterproofing. Fully CE certified.
KEiS Shorty heated gloves
Now available in a more streamlined short-cuff version, they are designed to sit easily underneath motorcycle jacket cuffs. Features include hydrophobic ballistic spandex outer shell, semi-bonded Hipora waterproof and breathable membrane and 3M Thinsulate insulation. An integral controller is positioned on the back of the hand; made to CE standard EN 13594.
KEiS sock-it to cold feet
KEiS S302 heated socks are made from a thin, lightweight and breathable soft-shell material and designed to be worn over a pair of normal socks, inside your regular riding footwear. Each pair features Micro Alloy Element Technology for instant warmth when it's needed. They can be powered directly from the 12 volt motorcycle battery, with the power lead supplied. Alternatively, Y-leads - also in the box - enable the user to run power from a KEiS heated jacket or vest down each leg to the heated socks. An optional light duty power controller can be connected to the power lead.
