Keis G701 Heated Armoured Gloves - Black

I bought these as I was moving house and it was going to take me 3 hours to get my bike to its new home during winter, I got to our new home after 1 am and it was -3 and I could still just about feel my fingers, I have Raynaud's, I was also using heated grips.

Brought these for the winder rides, impressed with the speed of heating up, easy to use button on each glove fro regulating the level of warmth. Using these hard wired through the Keis heated jacket.

Super comfortable gloves that give a nice heat evenly over you hands, three settings that are easily controlled via the buttons on the back of the gloves

Got these to ride in winter, sometimes in subzero conditions.
These are fab gloves, and surpass expectations. True to size, great dexterity, fantastic heat retention, fully waterproof! Yes, they are expensive, but this is not a need which you can fulfill with cheaper alternatives and at the end, it's an investment. I have tried other brands, but these gloves are truly ticking all the boxes! So why wasting time and money on substandard solutions?

Yes they're warm when the heat is on. Yes they're waterproof. Yes they're comfy to wear. They're very well made and the buttons are very easy to get to and tactile.

However, they're not particularly warm when the heat is off (I ran out of charge on my commute in 2 degrees and felt the cold quite quickly). There is no "low battery" indicator - they just switch off when they run out of charge. If you want to connect to your Keis jacket you need a female to female adaptor sold separately (cheap, but I feel like this shouldn't be necessary). The cuff is also very bulky.

Bought these as my heated grips had failed. Loved them. Thinner than my normal winter gloves which added to the feel. Warmed up really quickly and get the tips of my fingers warm, whilst my mate with his heated grips complained about his finger tips. Would highly recommend

All my other gloves are size M and I have had to suffer the finger lengths always being a tad too long so I was sceptical about what size to buy. I went up to the Boston store (bit of a trek as it's an hour and half away). Problem is my hands are wide but short fingers, I found that the Keis Small gloves fitted perfectly (the medium size finger length was a little too big). As my bike is a BMW C400GT and the battery is in front I opted to buy the battery packs for the gloves as I didn't fancy routing the cables to the battery, the only draw back with this is that you can't get the extra heat setting with battery packs but they certainly seem warm enough anyway so I am very happy with them. Great service from SBS once again.

Living in Pembrokeshire, is wet most of the time. Left mid April for Gatwick. At around 5C and wearing summer gloves that day, I decided to take a pit stop at Bristol branch. Very helpful the young chaps at the counter, advising me to buy these gloves. When another middle age rider came in, wearing the same, I've purchased them straight away and with a remaining juice in the new batteries, the remaining of my hourney was a bliss! Very useful to have is a battery bank for long journies.
The heat comes from the tip of my fingers and coupled by the heated grips, hand feel toastie. Highly recommended!

This pair of gloves are FAR FROM IDEAL to ride in the winter, because they are NOT AT ALL waterproof (when riding out in the rain).
My hands get WET (dump on long rides) every time I ride in the rain.
The HEAT only comes from the top of the hands and DOES NOT circulate to the palm of the hands. In addition, the highest TEMPERATURE provided is INAPPROPRIATE (far from being warm enough) for temperature BELOW 5C.
They are extremely well VENTED, which means that as soon as the heated system runs out of battery, hands get frozen.
Unfortunately, and despite the HIGH COST, I will have to buy a pair of gore-tex gloves instead and FIT HEATED GRIPS, as these ones are of VERY LIMITED USE to me.

Warm, water proof and comfortable. Worn for over 3 hours in pouring rain at just above freezing temperatures, gloves on medium heat setting, absolutely no problems, hands and fingers toasty and dry.

After living with frozen fingers through winter I decided to purchase hested gloves and chose Keis after some research. I connected via a Keis jacket direct to the bike. The touch control on top of the gloves works well controlling the heat settings. Its now February so i generally start them on high then reduce to medium. I find the cuffs are slim and easier to tuck under my jacket compared to some of my other gloves.

Initially, thank you for finally opening a store in the North West. The staff at your new Preston store are a credit to you, on all my visits they have gone above and beyond.
Now, regarding the Keis 701 gloves. I have now used them on several occasions and they are a game changer-keeping the backs of my hands and fingers warm even in traffic when my hand are covering the clutch and front brake, something that heated grips cannot do. When connected to my heated jacket they are fine, but I'm not a great fan of the cables running down my arms when connected to my heated vest or using the y lead for connection. I find the touch screen fingers fine for using the sat nav but haven't tried them on the smart phone yet.
In conclusion, not cheap but the quality appears to be good and hopefully they will last years.

Firstly, SBS are superb! I've purchased a fair few items from them now and they haven't let me down. Fast FREE delivery, you can't complain! First place I look to buy stuff now is SBS.

I have used these gloves for a few days now. Temps have been as low as 2 degrees with some windy wet rides on motorways.

First impressions, arrived in a smart box with all the necessary parts.

The gloves themselves looked and felt great! The inner feelt soft and premium.

First ride - setting up was a piece of cake! Mmmmm....cake....sorry, back to it! Setting up was easy. You hardly notice the cables in your jacket either.

Once the gloves were on and operating the controls of the bike they seemed a bit big and clumsy and wasnt able to make a fist. But literally, after a 4 hour ride, they softened up and now feel great with a decent flex to them.

I would say, be careful if your jacket has a small cuff as these can be a bit bulky to fit under a jacket sleeve. My jacket has a zip to expand and fit over the glove cuff snugly. Maybe worth considering the smaller cuffed gloves if this can be an issue.

The temp colours run like a traffic light system. Red - hot, Amber - medium, and green low.

I've tried all these settings and work for all the right temperatures etc.

The coldest being 2 degrees I've had them on the max setting (red) and your hands don't sweat but you know they're warm if that makes sense?

The heat only runs along the top of your hand and down your fingers.

So I think these paired with heated grips would be spot on!

I can't feel the wind or rain them either.

Touch screen is a bit pants if I'm honest. The added visor cleaner on the left index finger does actually work and can make a difference.

I considered the RST version but I was put off with the battery lasting and charge times.

I like the Keis as you have the battery back option for an extra £85 but all honestly, the cable is good enough!

Summary then. I'll just list some pros and cons.

Pros -
Well made
Great protection
Decent heat output
Battery pack capability
Links in with other keis heated gear

Cons -
Pricey (but worth it)
Extra for battery packs
Cuff can be too big for small cuffed jackets.
Touch screen fingers are pants.

I'd recommend these to anyone and they've been a life saver on these chilly commutes!

I'm hoping I win £100 from SBS so I can buy the heated socks next!

Gloves fit well. Good feel for controls with these gloves, better than my winter gloves. Heat is good to all fingers and thumb. Not hot but warm. Tried on a 4 hour ride. About 5deg and medium heat was fine.
Without gloves I would normally lose circulation in a couple of fingers. I suffer from reynads and these seem to alleviate that.

Hopefully these will resolve my cold hands this winter.

Gloves were comfortable and seem well made.
Only took 20 mins to fit cables to bike and jacket.
