Surely the Best
12 March 2025 by John D
This is an outstanding heated jacket. I bought this for my wife, who has always complained of being cold on the bike. The fit, quality and wearability of the jacket are all really good. The best bit is the way it works. In conjunction with the power control unit it is very easy to use and to control how much it heats up - and it does heat up. The instructions that come with the jacket are very clear and the electrics are very easy to install on the bike. It only took a few minutes. The jacket is a little expensive but, having tried cheaper ones that didn't work, we have no regrets about purchasing this jacket and only wish we had done so sooner.

Super quick to heat up, mainly kept it on the lowest setting. True to size guide in my case XS. Disappointed to see that a tooth on the zipper had broken, I called Customer service and no question offered a replacement on receipt of the faulty item. The replacement arrived within 5 working days and this is including off island delivery.

A great mid layer jacket that comes with a free heat controller & all the wiring is suppilied in the box, unlike other brands there is nothing additional to buy.
If you buy the trousers you will however need to buy a second heat controller as they will run at full power once plugged into the jacket

Super hot ( Wow )
12 February 2025 by Cliff M
When I bought this jacket I thought it a bit expensive. But the quality and fit is excellent and well worth the money. I think I would need to be in artic conditions to need it on full power. Most of the time I have it on low. There is however a curios feature. I have a keyless ride and when the jacket is switched on and I stop the bike, the display tells me I will not be able to restart the engine, because it cannot sense the key. The jacket some how will mask the key even though the key is in my trouser pocket and not under the heated jacket. This is no problem as I start the engine before switching on the jacket, so all good.

Game changer.

Ive caved in and purchased a Keis heated jacket after 60 odd years of motorcycling. Its a game changer and should have done it earlier. just need a lightweight sleeved top under it and it works perfectly and is a really well made garment.

I ride all year and commute in the North East of Scotland and I use this excellent bit of kit a lot. It's kept me warm through many winters and crap summers. The included controller makes it a more affordable option then many of it's competitors and the warranty is as good as you are going to get with this type of clothing. If you want to ride all year round just buy one.

Performs well, but choose other clothing caefully
07 February 2025 by Peter G
I tried on a range of heated jackets under my winter and 3-season jackets. I settled on this because it was least bulky and covered all of my arms. The heating is very effective. I had it on medium whilst wearing a base layer, thin shirt, then the jacket and then my outer jacket without any inners in 5-8C weather and was fine other than the sides of my back which did get a little cold. This may be because I didn't zip jacket to torusers (I dont normally) or didn't have the outer jacket on snugly enough - i need to experiment a little bit more, but good quality jacket, easy to install but you obvioulsy have to put up with leads.

T shirt, medium setting, textile jacket was all I needed in 0 degrees commute. Wish I'd got one years ago. Fantastic.

This is our second Keis Heated Jacket the first having provided many years of faultless service. It's been updated which is good but the quality appears to be as high as ever. Have yet to test it but confident it will be fine.

Everyone feels the cold differently. For me this jacket with a base layer and my Oxford Mondial (no internal insulation layer)is all I need to ride in lower temps. Only when hitting 2-4 c I have it on the lowest setting. This has allowed me to keep rising through the colder days. Feels like any other softshell jacket, really high quality.

Brilliant service
06 December 2024 by Jack S
I bought this jacket just over two years ago and to say I'm happy with my purchase would be the understatement on the century, all year round riding wearing this jacket and the heated gloves have become a pleasure but when the connection to the gloves stopped working just out of warranty, I thought to myself 'here we go' I'll have a load of hassle to get them repaired. Imagine my surprise when Sportbikeshop was amazing, sending me a free return label and got them repaired in record time, they couldn't have been more helpful.
Superb quality jacket and gloves sold my a truly super supplier +++++

I bought this off the back of a recommendation from a mate. I'm so very glad I did. Went out 1st time.of wearing and it was about 5c proper chilly. Not me though I was toasty warm....wonderful. Sportsbikeshop service was top notch as usual and bonus the controller was thrown in free of charge

Brilliant piece of Kit
17 November 2024 by Colin S
Having owned the previous version of this jacket some years ago, I am pleased to report that this updated one is even better. Thinner lighter material but as it has stretch panels on the side it makes it a close fit and therefore is more effective at keeping and toasty. Only used it on the lowest setting so far but that was more than adequate. A thin base layer is all that is needed underneath the jacket.

Best decision I've made, I feel the cold ,even in summer. Now it's November and I'm still riding, I have the heated gloves to match and considering the trousers too.
