DetailsVerified Customer Reviews for Keis G601 Premium Heated Armoured Gloves
Customers consistently praise these gloves for their quality, warmth, and fit, though heat output varies. Many highlight effective performance in very cold conditions, maintaining warmth without being overly bulky, thus preserving control and feel. Some customers mention pairing them with heated jackets or grips for optimal warmth. However, a few note challenges with sizing and the heat levels on their own. In general, the gloves are recommended for their build and insulating abilities, making them a worthy investment for all-weather riders.
Bought first pair of keis gloves 2 seasons ago and I must say that they are probably the best ever gloves I have had.
Had a slight problem with one and contacted keis. I was told to send them back to Sportsbikeshop so they could investigate the issue. Within 2 weeks of sending them back I received a brand new pair.
The service received from keis and Sportsbikeshop is excellent and that's why I continue to purchase products off them.
Thanks once again.
These Keis gloves are manufactured to outstanding quality, even the packaging. I have only used them once so far but did not fail my expectations. I would like to congratulate the SPORTSBIKESHOP from ordering them the process was easy, delivered the next day, and I will definitely use this company in the future Well Done!
After trying a few different options, these are the gloves I really needed.
Went out on a cold morning with the Met Office putting windchill temps at -2. Riding around at 30-40mph, I had to pull over to turn the heat down on these because it was getting too hot.
Dexterity and flexibility is great too, getting very close to the flexibility I have with summer gloves which is exceptional.
The only negatives are that the touchscreen sensitivity is hit or miss sometimes, and on one finger I can feel the fabric seam on my fingertip. Neither issues bother me much, still happy to give it 5 stars.
Excellent quality, has allowed me to ride longer in winter. Good fit for me with a little length left in the fingers (for me same for all gloves so nothing new). I bought the jacket as well, but would advise to buy gloves first and if you still feel you need the jacket then buy it as I have the jacket but only have it switched on in really low temps 0-4c.
The regret of not buying this sooner set in a few days ago, it was tremendously cold yet my hands were warm. Usually even with winter gloves on and the heated grips at max - it does little to nothing for the fingertips, this feels more like an embrace. It is pricey but it's a 100% worth it, get it or regret it.
As per my jacket review these are the updated versions of those I owned years ago and they are even better as they are less bulky but still keep your hands nice and warm. The on/off switch is also easier to use and more visible which is useful when riding, and they heat up quickly.
Great piece of kit. I've only used them on one trip, but warm, comfortable and appear to be well made. It's interesting reading comments about temperature, I find them to be really warm, but I also find Oxford grips to be really hot even on lowest settings... Sizing is on the edge of a bit small. I bought 'large', and they are a snug fit compared to other large gloves but ok.
Although I've heated grips the back of my hands don't get any heat. Bought these gloves and to say I am impressed is an understatement. Brilliant is all I can say for the extra cold days.
Great service as always from SBS. These gloves make the winter commute bearable. They heat up very quickly and I have found on the high setting I can't keep it there very long before they become too hot. I have taken one star off the gloves due to the fact that they are not supplied with adapters to connect to the various types of plugs/sockets that Keis have used on their other products. At this price point I find that a bit miserable.
Heating performance is very good without getting too hot. Plugs to connect gloves to heated jacket are a little stiff / fiddley, but I guess this will improve with time. Overall; very pleased.
I have tried lots of gloves in search of waterproofness including Rukka gortex and all let water in. I bought these longer gloves assuming wearing them over the sleeves would stop water ingress but that was not the case. I wear these under the cuffs and they work great. The heating is brilliant and when wearing them the top setting is too hot even when riding just above freezing. I've only used them with the batteries so can't comment on connection to the bike.
Best gloves I've bought so far!
I bought these as I had been told that they were about as thin as a heated glove might be compared to others and while that may be the case, they feel very much like standard winter gloves and so are far too thick for me. I had no grip sensitivity at all and would struggle with my bike's controls and switchgear. Never got to test the heating part but if you are looking for 'thinner' heated gloves, I doubt these will be the answer.
Having used very tech heavy alternatives from another brand for a few years (bluetooth etc) the 601s are a breath of fresh air. They are simple, with a fantastic level of heat and a really comfortable fit. The materials used and the finish is a really high quality. I particularly appreciate how thin they are with control feel more akin to summer gloves and plenty flexibility. The only grip and the reason for 4 stars is the cuff strap which pulls from the opposite direction to most other gloves. I found this made it quite hard to do up snugly although I have got used to this over time. Also the external connectors are relatively bulky making it a little tricky to put the gloves under tighter jacket cuffs.
Having had several motorcycles with heated grips I've always found that although the grips get warm, the heat is concentrated around the palm area of your hands so the outer extremities remain cold due to the wind blast. I thought I'd try the alternative approach of heated gloves, I looked at several options but settled on the Keis G 601 gloves with the additional battery packs. After trying them out on recent cold weather trips I have found them to be exceptionally good at keeping my hands warm, even on the lowest setting I have sufficient heat to remain comfortable, they are well made and fit well, the only downside is a slight bulkiness around the cuff area due to the additional battery packs but I can live with that to have warm hands. I am more than satisfied with the fantastic quality.
Expensive but brilliant. You get what you pay for.
So comfortable and so warm. Haven't needed to have them on red (hottest) setting. Amber is fine for me. Absolutely spot on.
These gloves are just lovely, too hot on the hottest setting for me but perfect on the middle one, I've used them on a 2 hour freezing ride on the motorway and they kept my hands snug, They are great quality and well made, I also have the jacket and highly recommend that too.
Excellent heated gloves, heating element heats back of hands and fingers. I have a dodgy index finger and these have resolved the issue, only need them on first setting, plenty of heat, plugged in to bike but also got the batteries for walking dog. Can be linked to other Keis clothing so great option to choose this brand as they specialise in ok heated clothing
