Chaquetas calefactables questions
How are KEIS heated jackets powered?
The J505 can be powered in two ways. It can connect directly to the bike using the supplied KEIS vehicle supply lead, offering continuous heat for longer rides. It can also be powered by a KEIS portable battery pack, sold separately, which is ideal for short trips or off bike warmth. The jacket includes an internal battery pocket designed specifically to house this pack securely and conveniently. Due to the extra power output of the J505, this battery is only expected to run for around 45 to 60 minutes on medium heat.
The J601 can be powered in two main ways. Using the supplied fused KEIS supply lead, it can connect directly to your motorcycle battery for unlimited power while riding. It can also be powered by a KEIS portable battery pack, sold separately, which is ideal for short trips or when off the bike and lets you power the jacket without needing to connect to the bike. The jacket draws around 5.4A at full power, so battery life depends on the capacity of your chosen power source.

The J801 will work with other KEIS portable batteries, such as the 2000mAh glove battery, but we don't recommend this as the run time is significantly lower.
Can I connect KEIS heated jackets to other KEIS heated clothing?
Absolutely. The jacket includes a central power hub that lets you plug in other KEIS heated gear, such as gloves, trousers, or socks. This allows riders to operate all heated garments from a single power source, reducing clutter and simplifying setup, especially useful for those gearing up in colder months.

Can I wear KEIS heated jackets directly against my skin?
While the inner lining of the J505 is soft and comfortable, KEIS always recommends wearing it over a thin base layer for the best experience. This helps regulate moisture, promotes better heat distribution, and adds a layer of insulation between the body and the heating elements, especially when used for extended periods.
The jacket is designed to be worn over a thin base layer. KEIS always recommends wearing a base layer or t-shirt between your skin and the jacket to distribute heat evenly and avoid direct skin contact with the heating elements. This also helps wick moisture away during active rides.
Are KEIS heated jackets waterproof?
The J601 is not waterproof on its own. It is designed to be worn under your existing waterproof motorcycle jacket. It does not include a waterproof membrane, allowing it to remain lightweight, breathable, and highly flexible. For wet conditions, always ensure you pair it with a waterproof outer shell or riding jacket.
No, the J501 is designed as a mid layer and should be worn under a protective outer jacket that offers waterproofing and abrasion resistance. However, the jacket’s fabric is wind resistant, breathable and heat retentive, helping to trap warmth effectively under your outer shell.
