Looking at Some of the Best Heated Motorcycle Clothing Available Today

Winter riding can be a nightmare, battling with cooler road temperatures, potential ice on the roads, slippery white lines and of course the cold. Anyone who has commuted in the colder months of winter can agree that it’s not fun, if you are lacking the proper equipment to keep you warm like heated gear, a face warmer and insulated trousers, boots and jacket then your journey will be significantly more difficult.

For example, having frozen fingers whilst riding a motorbike can not only be uncomfortable but also extremely dangerous if you lack the mobility to be able to grip the clutch and most important the front brake properly, that’s why we have compiled a list of some of the best heated gloves on the market to make sure your hands are kept toasty warm in the winter months.

Macna have created the Swiss Army Knife of gloves with their Progress RTX DL gloves which have an incredible amount of features crammed in with the Dutch brand focusing heavily on rain protection thanks to Direct Laminate, this water repellent coats the outer shell of the glove meaning water has no chance of making your gloves wet and damp, this will increase the warmth of the glove and ensure the efficiency of its heating capabilities.

You are offered three different ways to power the heated gloves thanks to their dual power technology, the gloves can be powered by either a 7.4 Volt supply or the 12 Volts from your motorcycle battery. Macna sell a heated jacket which these gloves can be connected to and powered via the jacket, to add to this, they also sell heated pants and socks to keep you extra toasty on those cold mornings.

Alternatively batteries can be installed inside the cuff of the glove which gives you a wireless power supply. Thirdly these gloves can be connected directly to the motorcycles battery via a cable which can be hidden within your jacket.

With four different levels of heat and a mobile phone app available to track the battery life of these gloves, they are no doubt a superb investment.

Heated Trousers – Macna Centre Heated Motorcycle Under Trousers Black

If you have a heated under jacket you may as well do the same for your legs and keep them warm, we are running back to Macna for this one with their heated under trousers that can be powered directly from the power of the motorcycles battery or from a battery pack.
