It’s obviously the season for heated gloves (see Tried & Tested p43) and to keep ahead of the latest developments heated clothing specialist brand Keis has launched the new 901 Extreme.
The 901 Extreme has a goatskin leather shell, which is thinner, softer and more supple than cowhide, giving improved feedback and feel from the controls as well as being highly abrasion-resistant. KP1 knuckle protectors and finger impact protectors get the necessary CE approval. The slim design means the G901s can be fitted over or under a jacket’s cuffs, depending on preference.
Inside there is a Hipora waterproof and breathable membrane and a layer of 3M Thinsulate insulation, along with the new heating element which runs across the back of the hand, between the fingers and around the fingertip ensuring all-round warmth. They’re powered direct from the bike’s battery, or by an optional lithium battery that fits into a zipped pocket on the cuffs, and controlled by touch-sensitive buttons on each glove.
The Keis 901 Extreme comes in sizes 3XS to 3XL at an SRP of £210, with the optional battery packs coming in at £85 SRP per pair.
