I recently purchased a pair of these and not that impressed with them to be honest. Heat settings are pointless as you would only use them on the hottest setting, which is not that great either. The finger tips for use with a mobile phone screen are more or less uselss. I persevered with them but wish I hadn't spent over £200 with the connectors required following that change around with the female to male connection to the jacket! All things considered, including the cost, I'd score them a generous 2 out of 10 and the 2 being for the fit....they are comfortable! In my opinion anyone that raves about these has either been donated them or trying to convince themselves that the £200 has not been wasted!
Chris I’d actually agree with what you’ve said now I’ve had the gloves for a longer period. I wired them direct to the bike as people told me they were much hotter that way, but I sent these back as I thought they were faulty - the only place I was feeling any kind of warmth was the back of my hands, and the fingers rarely felt any heat. Keis replaced them with the ‘shorty’ version and I’ve not noticed any difference at all in the heating. I’m doing a follow up review soon as I’ve been given their heated jacket and socks and my verdict hasn’t changed on the gloves - I’d rather use good heated grips and summer gloves 👍
Currently I have the Keis heated vest and insoles and planning to add these to my kit this year. Once you’ve tried it, there’s no going back. I know they do full jackets and trousers as well, but I’ve found that with good thermal layers, having the core and extremities heated is more than enough. Until now I’ve used heated grips coupled with bar muffs in the winter along with the vest and insoles and have been comfortably warm commuting at -12°C. Just want the gloves instead as I find the muffs a bit restrictive. When I first started riding, it was carrier bags over my socks and newspapers stuffed down the front of my jacket. The difference in comfort now with goretex gear and heated stuff is amazing.
Lol, the intro was hilarious, especially the nipple blockers!! Good review with some creative fun. I wish there was gloves like that which would stand up to the punishment of my work.
Lol nice one👍 Got me some Keis 601’s (leather) back in November and a Keis J501RP, these gloves came out literally a couple of weeks after I got my 601’s so it was interesting to see what you thought of them. No heated grips on my bike, so in severe weather I use the heated gloves inside Givi TM421 handlebar muffs, riding in sub zero temps the gloves were good for me on the amber (mid setting) in combo with the bar muffs. The jacket however really does make a massive difference, if you leave it off and wait for the chill to start and then bang it on full it’s like having the sun on your back - bloody excellent. I power the gloves through the jacket, which is powered by the bike. If you do get the jacket make sure you buy the optional controller. Nice review Bruce 👍
Absolutely agree with your conclusions on these gloves - they do 'take the edge off' on the coldest days, and I don't get so many days where the poor circulation makes my finger tips turn yellow. They aren't quite the game changers that I was hoping though.
Another great vid Bruce! You had some key pros and cons most people wanting honest advice like to hear from someone whom has been using them for some time. 👍 I've owned their jacket and inner gloves, riding through temperatures around freezing made a huge difference not just for comfort but safety. I know what it's like when your hands get so cold you struggle to operate the leavers. My only two cons were that the inner gloves bulcked up the whole glove making it more difficult to freely move your hand, so I can see the benefit to go for G701. Other being that I struggle to prevent water getting in to the connector, the smallest amount would cause the fuse to blow; an issue they apparently realised hence why they remove the rubber cover to reduce customers complaining it would leak causing them to replace it... this was over 5 year ago so they may have changed this design.
Great review Bruce. I do prefer the idea of heated gloves, to heated grips, purely because grips heat your palm, not your fingers (which in my case, are what suffer in the cold). Currently, I don't have (and have never had), heated grips or gloves, but as i'm "maturing" (55), i'm seriously considering heated gloves. I don't think the Kies ones will be on my short list, the price is way above my budget!!........and I think that's about the only issue, from your review, I can see. Be safe, ride safe and have fun. Grumps.
I missed this one! Cracking video Bruce, especially the intro... although was the Duck Tape on the nips??? Starting to see why Richy has the gilet etc now - my commute is only an hour so I can get away with heated grips and base layers (plus my brilliant Rev'It gloves) buuuuut if I was touring....yes please! I note they do heated liner gloves too, this could be a good option at £70 for those of us with good winter gloves already).
Awesome intro dude, had me near choking on my wheatabix. Personally I think the wrist should now be called the handankles. Looks a quality product, like the Gerring a few comments that the heat could be more but for taking the edge off does the job well.
Hi, I used Gerbings heated gloves for many years of winter commuting and they were great for my needs but they did have their limitations. The battery life was much shorter a little over an hour but that was fine for my commute. The main issue for me was the finger tips, the gloves heated the back of the hands great and the heated grips were great for the palms but the tips of my fingers 🥶. This however did not impede my control of the bike which was the main purpose and the sensation in the tips of my fingers was probably exaggerated because the rest of my hands were warm. I struggled to get the gauntlet under my jacket as this was where the batteries were located but it was manageable. I have had my gloves for several years now so I’m sure batteries have improved a lot since then. I’d be interested to see a comparison with the Keis gloves as by my recollection they were about £50 cheaper, the batteries were about the same cost though.
Oh my eyes, I can't unsee that specticle! Besides the shock of a naked teapotone, gotta agree about the gloves. I've found the Keis heated insoles to be a total revelation on those really cold rides and yes I've also got the heated jacket, it does make a massive difference. If anybody's interested, have a look at my review. Great vid Bruce, far more professional than mine but you've been doing this stuff so much longer.
Bought the non "Xtreme" Gerbing GT gloves last January. They were brilliant gloves, so warm and comfortable. Until it rained, when i found out they were as 'waterproof' as a tea bag. No matter how many times I NikWax'ed the leather, i'd feel them getting damp after about 30 mins, eventually getting soaked through. Which made, for instance, a 5 hour ride up to Liverpool in one of the 'named' storms early this year quite miserable. Though TBF after 5 hours of non stop torrential rain, almost all my gear gave up! To their credit, the heating elements kept going so at least my hands were warm AND wet. But every time it rained, the gloves would soak up the water, even when shielded by Barkbuster Storm guards. The last time was riding home from the NEC bike show, where they were soaked by the time i got to the M1 (again, 30-40 mins). Took them back to SportsBikeShop (Harlow), who sent them off to Gerbing, where they were replaced and i received a Xtreme set of GT gloves without any argument. That took a few weeks, so while at Harlow i bought a pair of Keis G701S, as i needed heated gloves. VERY disappointed in the Keis, they don't keep my hands warm, at all. The gloves are too thin, and the textile fabric does not retain the minimal heat the Keis produce. Again, even when shielded by Barkbuster Storm guards. Didn't get a chance to test out the waterproofing (yet), but both brands use "Hipora". Also, the connectors on the Keis are not as good as the Gerbings. A real pain to push the wires onto glove connectors, and even harder to pull them off. To the point where it feels like eventually the wires will pull out of the sockets. Mainly due to the hard plastic 'ring' that is probably to keep any water out. So, for me, Gerbing over Keis.
They would have been good for my commutes from the estate up to Apex. I bet they have improved even in the last 2 years since you put this up. Nice one.
Hey Bruce, as kilt wearer that was no problem for you!!🤣🤣. And I take it that's you throwing down the ( keis heated) gauntlet to your fellow vloggers....Andy man, TMF, LCR, Richy Vida, etc....Cheers, Steve!
I've been using Klan heated clothing: gloves, jacket, pants and stockings for 4 years now . And it is great if you can drive all day at -5 / -10 ° C. I haven't found that heater for your Willy yet.
Ha, you’re a braver man than me Bruce that’s some intro! 🤣🤣🤣 Those gloves look great, way out of my price range tho unfortunately. Hey ho, great review tho!
Nice, I went with the Racer gloves, can take double batteries per glove (2 are supplied) and have a boost heat function, very similar spec and price otherwise.. showing off the beach body neebur
Jesus I can’t I unsee that. I was just sitting down for dinner and sneaking in a quick vid before. A definite ‘look at that” moment. Should have been the thumbnail.
I wear Keis heated jacket, trousers, and gloves, but all wired to the bike. The gloves on high can get too hot at times, so I'm wondering if the battery powerpacks don't give quite as much oomph as the bike generator? But I would never go back to non-heated winter riding again! A game changer 👍
I have the exact same gloves and they're really excellent. I use my gloves plugged into the jacket and wired to the battery. Used with my BMW heated grips, everything combined, absolutely brilliant. I particularly like the short cuff as its really easy to fit under my jacket sleeve on my very old Rukka Allroad jacket. Personally, I think this is the best way to keep warm on a bike in cold weather. Great review btw 🙂
Nice one Bruce ! i too have those gloves and i love 'em ! they keep my digits toastie warm ! could mine be warmer than yours ? my missus' ones are toastie too ! yes we're tarts.. but warm ones ! 🤣 esp with our jackets too !!! (yes we are advancing in our years 😉). cheers !
Ha Ha, do you power the gloves off the bike or via the rechargeable batteries? Apparently the gloves are much warmer when powered off the bike’s battery 👍
That intro should come with a public health warning! I nearly spat my coffee over myself and my keyboard! LOL! I bet your neighbours were at the window "Carol! 'Es at it again!......Nah, not much..." ;)
For me, I would agree that heated kiit is the way to go. However I had a problem with G701's and G701s's. The small radius of my GSA and Royal Enfiield bars meant that my thumbs cramped up in then gloves. Grip Puppies helped but gong forward I would buy at least one size up from the size chart advertiised.
I worked in the keis product development department an we looked into developing willy warmers but found a significant problem establishing accurate sizes.
I've been using heated gloves for 4 years now and slowly moving over to heated clothing. Can't beat it! Think I'll stick to my Gerbing gloves as they're heated throughout the glove and don't need the backup of heated grips to keep your hands completely warm.
I have been wearing keis inner gloves under Bering boogie GTX gortex gloves for a couple of years can be a bit bulky and a bit messy to put on but work perfectly funny thing is hands never feel warm or cold just right used at 0 degrees
I put Graphite powder on my glove index finger to make it touchscreen compatible but my big BIG QUESTION IS ARE THE FINGERTIPS KEPT WARM ???? my last winter i was riding with Rst paragon heated gloves , Oxford heated grips and Barkbuster Blizzard bar muffs and still my fingertips went numb Maybe its my age or my poor body insulation after years of riding wearing any type of glove from knitted (not by me) to bin mans gloves as in the 80s Dr Martin boots a Donkey jacket and jeans was my idea of protective clothing. Either way my search for fairly priced motorcycle handlebar radiators continues Good video mate
Flipping heck Bruce. did not need that start whilst I was eating pmsl (Braver man than me, a proper scot). I've juster ordered these with the coat. Should make rides to work a bit more comfortable
This was a timely video, as I have been googling heated gloves. My mates all have heated grips (weak!), and since I am not in the cool BMW crowd, gloves are it.
Jeezo! My eyes, my eyes! Where was the parental warning!?! 😉 On a serious note, I'm really interested to see how these managed in heavy rain. I've learned that heated grips cause GoreTex fabric to allow water ingress. How do heated gloves fare?
as long as the heat is on the opposite side of the goretex as the water its fine..... the problem happens when the wet side of the goretex becomes warmer than the dry side.... but as these are internaly heated its not a problem..... heated grips on the other hand heats up the "wet" side and lets water vapor pass trough to the inside of the fabric and you end up with soggy gloves
ive got gerbing heated gloves they are far better connected to the bike,i bought a pair of batterys and even on the highest setting they were just slightly warm
I've had an earlier version of these Keis gloves, worked really well for 2 years but the stitching gave up and I only wore them on really cold days when I had to use the bike for a long trip so that was a total of 9 times. Keis wouldn't replace them due the faulty manufacturing of the gloves but offered me a small discount on some new gloves. My heated Keis vest wiring broke away from the plug in socket. I thought that the vest was covered by the "life time guarantee" but sadly no, it seems that only the heating element is covered by the guarantee, not the actual wiring and not the plug in items either. If your thinking of buying any items from Kies just bear in mind whats actual covered by the "life time guarantee?
Another good review, i definitely think heated kit is a winter game changer , I’m a Gerbing man myself as i love the quality but most importantly they come with a lifetime guarantee on the wiring , so my only question is what do you get with keis when it comes to a warranty,
Great content with all the info you can use to make a decision about buying a pair, I just bought a pair of Snow Deer gloves and will get them tomorrow, these just popped up today so I hope I got a good pair coming, sure wish I would have seen these yesterday. LOL I'll let you know with a review on the snow deer gloves. Happy new year brother. Get after it. New sub here.
Thanks bud, this vid is a few years old now - I find heated gloves only good for taking the edge off the cold, they don’t actually warm your hands at all. I much prefer good heated grips and summer gloves - only bettered if you add handlebar muffs
@@teapotone I ride a 650 Verseys and yes, I have the heated grips that work great for the palms also the hand guards that come stock on the bike, the only thing cold was my fingers on the 28-degree day I was riding. Thank you for getting back to me mate, have a fantastic 2023.
In my head. Someone hacked your channel and changed your thumbnail to first clip of your video. When police showed up. He said he was trying to make you go viral since you're his favourite channel. Enough day dreaming. Great video since Boris put me in timeout.
Best solution for me personally is BMW heated grips (hot as the sun), handle bar guards (deflects wind off your hands), and summer gloves (gives me loads of feel for working cameras and also let’s loads of heat through from the heated grips). I wear light summer gloves all year round, coldest so far was -15 centigrade, toasty warm.
I was told they would be, but can confirm after trying them wired direct to the bike, that they still aren’t very warm. I much prefer summer gloves and good heated grips. Their heated jacket is absolutely fantastic though, probably the only bit of heated kit I’d spend my own money on
OMG, I cannot un-see that opening shot. Please tell me that’s NOT a thing now in UK vloging. If I don’t recover soon, you’ll be receiving a bill from my ophthalmologist. 😭
Hello bud, i bought the Nivala suit through Infinity motorcycles, 0% over 2yrs 👍 No I’ve not done a review on it, but it’s excellent, best kit I’ve ever worn by a long way
@@teapotone cheers Bruce....I've been looking at the Nivala or the Khalix. Like you've said expensive but if you ride in all weathers then it's got to be done. 🙏
Yes bud absolutely, I’ve tried all sorts of different ‘budget’ options but they all leak eventually. So far the Rukka has been 100% waterproof, plus over the winter I was riding in just a T-shirt whilst wearing the padded jacket and trousers it comes with - awesome kit
@@teapotone I was actually just about to ask you about the warmth of the jacket. I'm wearing a RST and it's just false economy not buying correct first time round. I'm wearing Keis heated jacket under my jacket at the moment.
Aye, I’m very happy with the Rukka - not sure what it’ll be like in the heat of summer - but it has plenty of vents etc so I’m sure it’ll be ok (not really a summer suit anyway 🤷♂️)
Nice review. You should get affiliated with Keis Bruce. Would have liked to buy a set through your affiliated link. You should do seek a doctors opinion on those black marks you got on your chest btw. :P
I recently purchased a pair of these and not that impressed with them to be honest. Heat settings are pointless as you would only use them on the hottest setting, which is not that great either. The finger tips for use with a mobile phone screen are more or less uselss. I persevered with them but wish I hadn't spent over £200 with the connectors required following that change around with the female to male connection to the jacket!
All things considered, including the cost, I'd score them a generous 2 out of 10 and the 2 being for the fit....they are comfortable!
In my opinion anyone that raves about these has either been donated them or trying to convince themselves that the £200 has not been wasted!
Chris I’d actually agree with what you’ve said now I’ve had the gloves for a longer period. I wired them direct to the bike as people told me they were much hotter that way, but I sent these back as I thought they were faulty - the only place I was feeling any kind of warmth was the back of my hands, and the fingers rarely felt any heat.
Keis replaced them with the ‘shorty’ version and I’ve not noticed any difference at all in the heating.
I’m doing a follow up review soon as I’ve been given their heated jacket and socks and my verdict hasn’t changed on the gloves - I’d rather use good heated grips and summer gloves 👍
Agreed,they suck,I have them also and don't like them.Also the palmprotector is a pain
in the ass.It's way to thick
Better alternatives?
Same story as you !!!!
About to buy these , now unsure . You recommend gerbing instead?
Currently I have the Keis heated vest and insoles and planning to add these to my kit this year. Once you’ve tried it, there’s no going back.

You've certainly earned ur heated comfort these days 🙈
I’m going to need therapy after that intro that was nuts. Well very toasty nuts 😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers Bruce you can’t beat heated kit. All the layers can’t beat heated. Keis sleeveless jacket with portable battery for chilly walking is brill 👍
OMG that opening shot was a shock at this time of the day 😁🤯
😂
It was VERY cold😂
Let's just hope TMF, LCR, and RV don't follow suit. 😳
Hahahahahaha that is the best intro I've ever seen to a video :D
😂😉
@@teapotone I honestly nearly fell off the chair laughing. Brilliant and needed man 😂😂
Ha Ha I’m glad it gave you a laugh bud 👍

Turning on a heated jacket in the freezing cold feels like slipping into a warm bath, the winter commute is a (warm) breeze with heated clothing.
A nice and really helpful review. I've had my eyes on a set of these but wasn't sure. A purchase to be made in time!
I am encouraged by your ending statement of this video. Keep it up, thank you!

Yes Nick, using the battery packs does substantially lower the heat available - I found this out after I did the vid 👍

thanks for good review ,,,, for my limited riding these gloves should be fine ,, - just got to decide to go cable or battery.
I found out after I edited the vid that the gloves get even hotter when you use the cables to wire them to the bike 👍
That intro should come with a public health warning! I nearly spat my coffee over myself and my keyboard! LOL! I bet your neighbours were at the window "Carol! 'Es at it again!......Nah, not much..." ;)
Brilliant review
I can't much on heated socks for motorcycles
Be great if one of you guys ( popular best bloggers ) did a review
Best regards Shaun
Damn, looking like a Scottish, bearded Arnold Schwarzenegger 💪🏻 Keep up that training bud. Great thorough review🎥🔝🎬
😂 Aye, if Arnie had been living in a cake shop for a few years!
Thanks anyway bud 🙏👍
Great review, thanks Bruce.. 👍
My pleasure bud
For me, I would agree that heated kiit is the way to go. However I had a problem with G701's and G701s's. The small radius of my GSA and Royal Enfiield bars meant that my thumbs cramped up in then gloves. Grip Puppies helped but gong forward I would buy at least one size up from the size chart advertiised.
Keep them warm every man needs to count to eleven 😎
😂😂😂😂😂Do Keis do willy warmers too? Look a similar material to my Rukka gloves, great review Bruce
I worked in the keis product development department an we looked into developing willy warmers but found a significant problem establishing accurate sizes.
@@georgeclark2721 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
I've been using heated gloves for 4 years now and slowly moving over to heated clothing. Can't beat it! Think I'll stick to my Gerbing gloves as they're heated throughout the glove and don't need the backup of heated grips to keep your hands completely warm.
So the gerbings heat the finger tips ?
Nearly choked on me cheese sandwich 🥪 jesus fair play bruce 🤣
p.s. we power ours from the bike so i'm wondering if we get a stronger power supply which makes them warmer ?... just a thought....
Great video mate
Quick question do the gloves have the option to plug onto the keis heated vest ?
Yep
I have been wearing keis inner gloves under Bering boogie GTX gortex gloves for a couple of years can be a bit bulky and a bit messy to put on but work perfectly funny thing is hands never feel warm or cold just right used at 0 degrees
I put Graphite powder on my glove index finger to make it touchscreen compatible but my big BIG QUESTION IS ARE THE FINGERTIPS KEPT WARM ????
my last winter i was riding with Rst paragon heated gloves , Oxford heated grips and Barkbuster Blizzard bar muffs and still my fingertips went numb
Maybe its my age or my poor body insulation after years of riding wearing any type of glove from knitted (not by me) to bin mans gloves as in the 80s Dr Martin boots a Donkey jacket and jeans was my idea of protective clothing.
Either way my search for fairly priced motorcycle handlebar radiators continues
Good video mate
Your bum's out the windy mate. That opening got me by surprise.
What was you hiding at the beginning 🤔 did you coil it up as I’ve heard you normally tuck it in your socks. 😂👍🏻 great vid
Flipping heck Bruce. did not need that start whilst I was eating pmsl (Braver man than me, a proper scot). I've juster ordered these with the coat. Should make rides to work a bit more comfortable
Scary intro. Great Video very informative
Wait! Why did I 'like' this after that opening? Seared into my memory banks.
😂
This was a timely video, as I have been googling heated gloves. My mates all have heated grips (weak!), and since I am not in the cool BMW crowd, gloves are it.
Jeezo! My eyes, my eyes! Where was the parental warning!?! 😉
On a serious note, I'm really interested to see how these managed in heavy rain.
I've learned that heated grips cause GoreTex fabric to allow water ingress. How do heated gloves fare?
I’d heard this too so was expecting the gloves to suffer in prolonged exposure to heavy rain. However so far they’ve remained watertight
as long as the heat is on the opposite side of the goretex as the water its fine..... the problem happens when the wet side of the goretex becomes warmer than the dry side.... but as these are internaly heated its not a problem..... heated grips on the other hand heats up the "wet" side and lets water vapor pass trough to the inside of the fabric and you end up with soggy gloves
ive got gerbing heated gloves they are far better connected to the bike,i bought a pair of batterys and even on the highest setting they were just slightly warm
I've had an earlier version of these Keis gloves, worked really well for 2 years but the stitching gave up and I only wore them on really cold days when I had to use the bike for a long trip so that was a total of 9 times.
Keis wouldn't replace them due the faulty manufacturing of the gloves but offered me a small discount on some new gloves.
My heated Keis vest wiring broke away from the plug in socket.
I thought that the vest was covered by the "life time guarantee" but sadly no, it seems that only the heating element is covered by the guarantee, not the actual wiring and not the plug in items either.
If your thinking of buying any items from Kies just bear in mind whats actual covered by the "life time guarantee?
Good info cheers bud.
Apparently the new Gerbing kit is covered by a lifetime warranty? Pretty amazing if that’s the case 👍
Bruce that intro!!!!! I hope TMF butt plug wasn’t involved!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Great info and advice.Thks.
Another good review, i definitely think heated kit is a winter game changer , I’m a Gerbing man myself as i love the quality but most importantly they come with a lifetime guarantee on the wiring , so my only question is what do you get with keis when it comes to a warranty,
Cheers Buddy, not sure about the warranty, check out their website, I’m sure the info will be there 👍
God Bruce your all beef and muscle 😂👍
Hahahah! I nearly spat my chicken & bacon salad out, that was a shock. Brilliant!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Great content with all the info you can use to make a decision about buying a pair, I just bought a pair of Snow Deer gloves and will get them tomorrow, these just popped up today so I hope I got a good pair coming, sure wish I would have seen these yesterday. LOL I'll let you know with a review on the snow deer gloves. Happy new year brother. Get after it. New sub here.
Thanks bud, this vid is a few years old now - I find heated gloves only good for taking the edge off the cold, they don’t actually warm your hands at all.
I much prefer good heated grips and summer gloves - only bettered if you add handlebar muffs
@@teapotone I ride a 650 Verseys and yes, I have the heated grips that work great for the palms also the hand guards that come stock on the bike, the only thing cold was my fingers on the 28-degree day I was riding. Thank you for getting back to me mate, have a fantastic 2023.
You too 👍
In my head. Someone hacked your channel and changed your thumbnail to first clip of your video. When police showed up. He said he was trying to make you go viral since you're his favourite channel.
Enough day dreaming. Great video since Boris put me in timeout.
Ha Ha thanks bud.
I was tempted to use it as the thumbnail but couldn’t be bothered with all the grief I’d get 🤷♂️
🤣 Brilliant opening 👏👏
since it is lithium bateries I guess it would be pretty simple to make your own battery packs
gloves or grips or bar buffs? please can we have an update video. looking to get sorted for the winter.
Best solution for me personally is BMW heated grips (hot as the sun), handle bar guards (deflects wind off your hands), and summer gloves (gives me loads of feel for working cameras and also let’s loads of heat through from the heated grips).
I wear light summer gloves all year round, coldest so far was -15 centigrade, toasty warm.
Heated gloves never heat the fingers or back of my hands enough, and just end up making me feel colder.
Get a heated jacket - absolute God send
Do you think they would be a little warmer running from the Bike rather than battery ?
I was told they would be, but can confirm after trying them wired direct to the bike, that they still aren’t very warm.
I much prefer summer gloves and good heated grips.
Their heated jacket is absolutely fantastic though, probably the only bit of heated kit I’d spend my own money on
Fantastic start 😂😂😂😂
Oh er mr wasn’t expecting that, I’ve come over all faint
OMG Bruce, nearly choked on my Cadburys orange chocolate finger 😂 Bar now set.... your turn Mr TMF 😜
Ha Ha don’t dare TMF to beat this - you’ll regret it!
We will ALL regret it! 🍑 🔌
I’d like to say it’s looked nippy in the intro but there was tape blocked 😉
The full unedited clip will be in my onlyfans account 😘😉😂
@@teapotone 🤣🤣
OMG, I cannot un-see that opening shot. Please tell me that’s NOT a thing now in UK vloging. If I don’t recover soon, you’ll be receiving a bill from my ophthalmologist. 😭
Lockdown is taking its toll lol :) Great video
Presumably they don’t want them back?
😂👏
Ooh the price isn't that bad when I consider I just paid £120 for oxford non heated gloves.
Hi ya mate, just being nosey what Rukkka jacket do you wear?
Have you done a review on the jacket your wearing?
Hello bud, i bought the Nivala suit through Infinity motorcycles, 0% over 2yrs 👍
No I’ve not done a review on it, but it’s excellent, best kit I’ve ever worn by a long way
@@teapotone cheers Bruce....I've been looking at the Nivala or the Khalix.
Like you've said expensive but if you ride in all weathers then it's got to be done.
🙏
Yes bud absolutely, I’ve tried all sorts of different ‘budget’ options but they all leak eventually.
So far the Rukka has been 100% waterproof, plus over the winter I was riding in just a T-shirt whilst wearing the padded jacket and trousers it comes with - awesome kit
@@teapotone I was actually just about to ask you about the warmth of the jacket. I'm wearing a RST and it's just false economy not buying correct first time round. I'm wearing Keis heated jacket under my jacket at the moment.
Aye, I’m very happy with the Rukka - not sure what it’ll be like in the heat of summer - but it has plenty of vents etc so I’m sure it’ll be ok (not really a summer suit anyway 🤷♂️)
Lost for words at the intro...... About the gloves, have you tried them plugged in, wonder if they get warmer?
I haven’t no, but some folk have already mentioned in the comments that they are warmer if you wire them in to the bike 👍
Nice review. You should get affiliated with Keis Bruce. Would have liked to buy a set through your affiliated link.
You should do seek a doctors opinion on those black marks you got on your chest btw. :P
