How do Keis G201 Heated Inner Gloves perform in cold?
As winter approaches, the need for effective cold-weather gear becomes paramount, especially for those who spend extended periods outdoors. One product that has garnered attention is the Keis G201 Heated Inner Gloves. These gloves are designed to provide warmth and comfort in cold conditions. But how well do they actually perform? Let’s take a closer look.
As the temperature started to drop, rather than on bike activities, I used the inner gloves whilst operating a drone and other filming equipment. This meant I didn’t have to wear bulky gloves to operate said items. I can also imagine that the inner gloves would be great for chilly walks, etc. As someone who suffers from Raynaud’s, where your fingers and toes go white and numb, they will be a godsend.
Description as per Keis
“The KEIS G201 Heated Inner Gloves are ultra-thin, lightweight, and warmer than ever—designed to fit seamlessly under your favourite motorcycle or leisure gloves. An upgrade from the G102s, they feature ultra-thin carbon fibre wire heating that wraps around each finger for full-hand coverage and improved Far Infrared heat distribution. With a low 1 Amp draw, they deliver impressive warmth without adding bulk, maintaining full dexterity for riding or outdoor use. Discreet battery pockets offer flexibility for portable KEIS battery use off the bike, making them equally suited for winter walks or cycling. Breathable and moisture-wicking, they keep hands dry and warm in all conditions. Includes: G201 Heated Inner Gloves (pair), instructions.”
