Now you may have seen from my channel that I have been selected by Keis,
Keis do heated clothing, they run a program called the Inspiring Riders program and it's
a six month program that they run through the winter period. They essentially share some of
their heated clothing with these riders so me and a number of others and we get to wear
their clothing through the winter period and post some feedback about it during the winter months.
Now you may very well be forgiven for not yet having even put your inner thermals into
your motorcycle jackets. This very humid autumnal, non-autumnal weather that we're
having at the moment means that wearing heated clothing just isn't practical at the moment.
So what I wanted to do at this time is just to show you some of the stuff that I have got and
how it all kind of interlinks with each other. So the great thing about the Keis
heated clothing is that all interlinks in terms of the power supply
unless of course you're using batteries. So let's start with the jacket i'm not going to do an
in-depth review of the jacket if you want to see that check out my channel on YouTube I have got a
review of the of the heated jacket but i'm just going to show you some basic functions and
how the Keis heated winter gloves actually interlink with the jacket, so let's get that done.
So this is the Keis heated sleeve jacket. They do vests, so sleeveless
jackets as well but this is the Keis sleeved jacket. I am not going to do an in-depth review
about this jacket. Look at my channel you'll find an in-depth review about this jacket,
couple of things to highlight though just very quickly you would not wear this under your
motorcycle jacket with your inner thermal and you will need to take that out. You will simply be too
bulky in it otherwise, so make sure you take your inner thermal out of your winter jacket
and this will then sit underneath your winter jacket plugged into the battery power supply.
So for the jacket very quickly you get a cable with it and the obviously this is the the battery
end to your bike the positive and negative that connects to your battery on your bike
and this end then connects to a cable that comes out of a a zipper underneath here,
plugs in there and that is then power going to your your jacket.
Now you need to remember that when you are doing this, when you've connected this to your battery
if you leave it switched on, if you leave the jacket switched on it will
drain your battery okay. So it is it has a permanent power supply
when you've connected this to your bike, so that is one thing to remember.
So you can control it and switch the jacket on and off.
So in the left hand side pocket you've got this loop connector here, take that off and
what will come with the jacket is a remote control that comes with the jacket, you plug that in
and there you've got your on and off switch for the jacket. Easily controlled whilst
you're on the move. Now when you've got your motorcycle jacket on this will actually hang
down below your motor, the bottom of your motorcycle jacket so you can keep one hand
on the throttle when you're riding and control the temperature of the jacket
from the one touch button here and just by simply pressing it highlights,
you an L.E.D. that highlights whether it's green amber or red, red being the hottest green being
the coolest. So that's how you power the heated jacket from your motorbike supply battery supply.
You can use a mobile battery with this jacket, look at the in-depth review to
find out how long those timings with the battery actually last for with this jacket.
So why am i showing you the jacket? Well I wanted to show you the jacket because in conjunction with
the the heated winter gloves that they've got, they connect to the power source from the jacket.
So here is the Keis winter gloves. Now these on their own without the heating elements in these, I
would consider these winter gloves anyway because they are, the way that they're built they are very
thick waterproof, so I would consider these on par with other winter gloves that are out there.
The difference is obviously you've got the heating elements in these as well.
So you can power these by a mobile battery. So you'll need two mobile batteries one for each
glove and they will sit on the, they will go on the underside when your glove is on
when your, wrong hand, when your glove is on there is a zip here and the glove just sits on
the underside in a pocket here via a zip okay, so you can power your gloves from mobile batteries.
But the beauty of the Keis kit is that your gloves can connect to the jacket.
So on the sleeved jackets, on each sleeve, you have got a zip
and a cable and this cable is connected to the power supply from the from the jacket.
That plugs into the glove and now your glove has a permanent power supply and that's coming
from your battery the same battery that your cable is connected to from your jacket and then
you simply power the gloves on and off with this button on the on the top of the glove.
You press and hold to switch it on and then once it's on it'll either glow red amber or green,
red being the hottest green being the coolest and you do exactly the same for the other glove,
and there is the zip on that sleeve there and that's the beauty of these
gloves and the Keis kit, is that the power supply can come from the from one existing
power supply that you've got for your jacket and then you have got your heated
jacket and heated gloves and you should be snug as a bug in a rug wearing these.
Now whether you wear your cuff of your motorcycle jacket over or under the the cuff of the glove
entirely up to you, the connections are waterproof once they're plugged in.
So that is the beauty of these of these gloves with the Keis jacket, so as part of the
Keis inspiring riders I will be wearing this kit this winter.
They have sent me also some heated pants as well and again the heater pants can be connected to the
same power source as well so the heated pants the jacket and the gloves all connected to the same
power source so stay tuned for a review on the heated pants and I will give you some technical
information regarding the fuse the fuse that you would require to power these off one power
supply. Because these are in the power lead that comes from the battery you do have a fuse in there
and obviously that fuse at the moment is sufficient to power this jacket. If i was going
to add the gloves I would need to change the fuse or add another fuse and then with the heated pants
I need to change the fuse again depending on how much i'm going to what power i'm going to draw.
So that's the beauty of these. So stay tuned to my channel. If you have not subscribed
already make sure you do follow me for the Keis Inspiring Riders through this winter
and as soon as that weather turns and it turns a little bit more of autumnal and drops a little
bit I will be out and about riding and giving my thoughts about how good these are both in
the wet and the dry and importantly how much they keep my hands warm in both of those conditions.
I have given some information about the jacket in my other video
and I will also tell you about the heated pants as well.
