Best Heated Motorcycle Gear for 2025- Jackets, Gloves, and More

Winter doesn’t have to mean the end of riding season. With the right heated motorcycle clothing, riders can stay warm, safe, and in control even when temperatures drop close to freezing.

In this roundup, we look at the best heated gear available for 2025, from jackets and gloves to vests, trousers, and socks. While several brands compete in this space, KEIS Heated Apparel consistently comes out on top thanks to rider-focused engineering, proven performance in UK weather, and features that few others match, such as a lifetime warranty on heating elements and women’s-specific designs.

Why Heated Clothing Matters in Winter

Cold weather isn’t just uncomfortable, it’s dangerous. Stiff, numb hands reduce throttle control and slow reaction times. Cold legs and core temperature drops cause fatigue, which increases the risk of mistakes on the road. Heated motorcycle gear doesn’t just keep riders comfortable; it keeps them focused and in control.

Traditional layering can only do so much. Bulky jackets and multiple pairs of gloves reduce dexterity, while still letting windchill sap warmth. Heated gear solves this problem by delivering consistent, skin-close heat where it’s needed most.

Jackets and Bodywarmers

The KEIS J505 Extreme Heated Jacket is considered the gold standard for heated motorcycle jackets in the UK. With five heat panels across the chest, back, arms, and collar, it delivers full upper-body warmth even in sub-zero conditions. Its slim, soft-shell design slips under any riding jacket without bulk.

What sets KEIS apart is its modular power system: gloves and trousers can plug directly into the jacket, making it the control hub of a complete heated setup. Riders can connect to their bike or use portable KEIS battery packs for flexibility on and off the road.

For a lighter choice, the KEIS V501 Heated Vest targets the chest and back. KEIS also leads with one of the only women’s-specific heated bodywarmers in motorcycling, the B501W, rare in the industry, proving its commitment to fit, comfort, and performance for every rider.

Heated Gloves

Heated gloves are the most important part of any winter riding kit, and the KEIS G901 Extreme Heated Gloves set the benchmark. Praised by RiDE and MCN, they deliver even heat across the fingers and backs of the hands, with CE-certified protection, waterproofing, and touchscreen compatibility. They can run standalone or plug directly into a KEIS heated jacket for seamless integration.

For riders who prefer leather, the KEIS G601 Heated Motorcycle Gloves are a premium touring option. Crafted from high-quality leather, they offer durability plus KEIS’s proven heating tech, and come with Level 2 KP-certified knuckle protection, a higher rating than many rivals and one of if not the first of its kind.

With power options through both Motorcycle power and Battery power, our Motorcycle gloves can work using both 7.4v and 12v systems for personalised run times and heat output.
