Keis X4 Heated Bodywarmer
The Keis X4 heated bodywarmer has been uprated for 2009, with a new matt grey colour, fleece lining and a DINTEX waterproof, windproof and breathable membrane. It feels warm when unplugged, but cable it up to your bike battery and things get really toasty.
The Keis bodywarmer connects directly to a motorcycle battery and once in action rapidly warms up to a maximum of 65 degrees. It tranfers heat across the core area of the human body using carbon woven panels in the kidney and chest areas, so there’s no need for any wires. Because there are no wire elements, you can hand-wash and drip-dry the Keis bodywarmer.
If you prefer not to connect the garment to your bike’s electrical system, then the Keis bodywarmer can also be powered using an optional Li-ion battery pack, which offers 2.2-6.7 hours of heat, depending on the temperature setting chosen. There are 5 settings in total, with a temperature range of 40-65 degrees available.
The Keis bodywarmer is designed to combat the effects of wind-chill, which particularly affects motorcycle riders who own machines without touring fairings or heated grips. The Keis vest comes in sizes XS-XXL, costs £89.99, with the optional temperature controller being an extra £29.99. The battery pack costs an extra £39.99.
