November 23, 2016 by Leave a Comment

Everyone who rides a motorcycle will get cold hands at some point. Whether you’re a beginner rider or a seasoned road warrior, you’ll eventually wish you had a pair of electric motorcycle gloves.

These VentureHeat 12v Gloves would be a good fit for pretty much any type of rider which is why the price tag is higher than most on the market.

Heated Gloves Overview


If you’re the type of person who always tries to buy the best product on the market no matter what the cost is, then this is the perfect pair of gloves for you.

Sure they’re a little bit expensive and you could spend less and buy an inferior product, but then you wouldn’t have the peace of mind knowing that you own the best possible pair of electric motorcycle gloves.

These are my pick for the best 12v heated gloves. I don’t want to take away from some of the other 12v gloves I’ve reviewed because I try to only review high end products.

With that being said, this glove has it all. It really performed well in every category.

I hope you enjoy this review.

Comfort + Warmth


These are very comfortable. I don’t really know how to put it. They hug your hands nicely without being annoying.

I often find that when I’m wearing motorcycle gloves they take a little while to break in. Usually the glove wants to sit straight or open palmed and so you have to apply some pressure to wrap your hand around the handle bars.

That is not the case with these gloves. They were designed for motorcycles and that’s what they do best.

The glove sits naturally in an almost “fist like” position so that when you’re riding you don’t have to put pressure on it to get it to close around the hand grips.

This doesn’t sound like much but it feels great when in use. They make for a really comfortable ride although that “fist like” position doesn’t do you a lot of good when you’re not riding.

The palm of these gloves is made from Premium Nappa Leather and the lining is a soft polyester fleece. This no doubt helps in the comfort category.

The heat covers the back of the hand and all along each finger right to the tip and the heating panels are made from hair-thin micro-alloy fiber so you won’t even be able to feel them.

I actually prefer the back of the hand being heated on a motorcycle glove because then the heating elements aren’t annoying when you’re grabbing the grips.

They heat the hand really well, as well as any heated gloves I’ve tried. They have three heat settings that are controlled with a button right on the gloves.

They draw 2.2 amps combined which makes for a really warm pair of gloves when the heat is on.

When the heat isn’t on they’re still pretty warm thanks to the 100g of 3M Thinsulate insulation.

Although I’ve only used heated gloves for riding motorcycles, these gloves will also work with ATV’s, Side-by-Side’s, quads or snomobiles.

I was really happy with the performance and so I’m giving them a 19/20 for comfort and a 19/20 for warmth.

Water Resistance


 Most of the time when out on a ride we don’t need our gloves to be totally waterproof. Just water resistant is usually enough because we all try to avoid riding in the heavy rain.

But no matter how hard we try, there’s always going to be the odd time where we get stuck in the rain.

Maybe there’s only another hour to the destination and you just want to get there ASAP so you push through the rain.

Or maybe you’re trying to catch a ferry or plane and you just have no choice but to ride it out. Well whatever the circumstance is, these gloves will keep your hands dry.

They’re equipped with the Dintex membrane which is not only completely waterproof but also breathable.

This is yet another reason why these gloves are great for any riding occasion. They also have a bit of a cuff on them so you can pull them over your sleeve and tighten them up to keep the water out.

The cuff is also small enough that you can tuck it under your sleev if you prefer that. Very versatile.

In this category I’m giving these gloves a 20/20.

Quality


With VentureHeat being one of the biggest names in heated gloves I already knew these gloves would be high quality before I even tested them out.

So it was no surprise at all when I inspected them and found them to be very durable and well built.

They’re made of leather, nylon and carbon fiber and the stitching is extremely tight and strong. They look to be pretty much indestructible which is exactly what I want and need from a motorcycle glove.

You can where all of the stitching is because it’s done in white. This is great because it makes it easy to see that they’ve used double stitching throughout the entire glove.

The wiring that comes with it is strong and it connects to the glove nice and tight. No complaints here.

I’m giving them a 20/20 in this category.

Safety


 The safety of any motorcycle gear is very important and that goes without saying. If you’ve ever been involved in a motorcycle crash you know how scary it is and how much damage can be done.

One thing that happens a lot when riders crash is their gear comes flying off. So no matter how great your gear is, it’s very important that it can be done up tight so that it won’t come off.

These gloves have a nice drawstring that allows you to get them on very snug and tight. When done up properly, they should stay on in the event of a crash.

As I already mentioned, the exterior of them is a combination of leather, nylon and carbon fiber.

A lot of motocycle gloves use kevlar for extra strength and protection but carbon fiber is actually known to protect better which is good news for these gloves.

The carbon fiber is over all of the knuckles which is usually an area of high impact.

These gloves are as safe as they come. I’m going to give them a 19/20 in this category and I just want to say that I’ve never given a pair of motorcycle gloves a 20/20 before because safety can always get better.

Fit


 These glove fit very true to size. Just be sure to measure your hand before you order in case you’re not sure what size you need.

You should use our Sizing Guide to see how to measure for gloves.

Final Thoughts


 As you can probably tell I’m really impressed with these gloves. They are my favorite pair of heated gloves as I’m writing this review.

I’d like to ad that these are also touchscreen capable.

venture 12v 10

As you can see the thumb and index finger are equipped with material that will allow you to use your smart phone or tablet. Obviously you’ll have to pull over to do this.

If you’ve never used heated motorcycle gloves before you’ve probably just used a warm pair of gloves instead.

The problem with most warm gloves is that they are too thick which makes them less comfortable and gives you less control of your bike.

That’s why I love heated gloves because they allow you to wear a thin glove while still getting a very warm glove.

One more thing to mention is that these gloves are compatible with any of VentureHeat’s other 12v products.

If you decide to buy these gloves or any VentureHeat gloves you’ll always have the peace of mind knowing that they have a great return policy just in case you need to exchange or return them.

I would recommend buying them from Amazon.com or Amazon.ca as this will give you the quickest shipping and the easiest return/exchange policies.

Thanks for reading.

Robert

Electric Motorcycle Gloves – VentureHeat 12v

August 1, 2016 by 4 Comments

It’s that time of year again and I couldn’t be happier about it.

Spring is a fantastic time of year for riding but one item that can make your ride more enjoyable is a pair of electric motorcycle gloves.

Today I’m going to review the VentureHeat 12v Heated Grand Touring Motorcycle Gloves.

Overview


This pair of Venture 12V Grand Touring gloves is a great buy for anyone looking to combat cold hands without sacrificing comfort or safety.

They are almost the exact same as the Venture Epic 2.0 gloves except for the fact that these ones are designed to be plugged into a 12v battery on a motorcycle or other recreational vehicle.

Since these gloves don’t use a lithium ion battery like their Epic 2.0 counterpart they are a little bit cheaper. With that being said, they still aren’t dirt cheap at $151.56 but you get what you pay for and these are worth every penny.

These are without a doubt a top of the line pair of gloves.

 

Comfort & Warmth


I actually thought that these gloves put off even more heat than the wireless version but that’s not a big surprise since they’re connected to a 12v battery.

The warmth is very powerful and they heat up really quickly which is always nice.

The heat is distributed all over the back of the hand as well as on the back of each finger all the way to the tip of the finger.

The reason they don’t put heating coils on the palm of the hand is because when squeezing a grip or throttle for long periods of time you can actually feel the coils inside and it affects the comfort of gloves.

So I actually prefer when motorcycle gloves don’t put the coils on the palm.

Don’t let this deter you because the heat output is still very high and your hands will absolutely stay toasty warm with these gloves.

They have a nice size gauntlet so that you can effectively keep the wind and moisture out.

The gloves are slightly bulky which affects the comfort a little bit but at the same time it helps to keep the warmth in which is usually what people care more about when buying heated gloves.

In the warmth category I’m giving these gloves a 20/20. 

In the comfort category I’m giving these gloves a 18/20.

 

Water Resistance


VentureHeat gloves are some of the best in the industry for water resistance. If they say that their gloves are waterproof you know they mean it.

They have a great little video demonstration of how they test the water resistance of them, check it out below.

 

 

As you can see, they take this very serious. The gloves have a Dintex membrane which will keep %100 of the moisture out even in a terential downpour.

In addition to being waterproof the Dintex membrane is still breathable so that your hands don’t get clammy and sweaty if the weather improves.

I’m giving them a 20/20 in the water resistance category.

 

Quality


Just like any other VentureHeat gloves these ones are very well built.

You can be sure that as long as you’re treating them with care and respect that they’ll last a long time.

It’s safe to say that with Venture you don’t have to worry about the gloves falling apart for no reason. Like any motorcycle gloves they might start to show some wear and tear after a lot of use but this comes with the territory.

If you’re doing a lot of off-road riding where you end up crashing or tipping over and lifting up the bike then you might expect to see the gloves wear out a little sooner than expected.

I say that because these gloves aren’t built extremely heavy duty like some of Ventures more durable gloves.

They are made with a lot of nylon and kevlar which is very durable but the absolute toughest gloves on the market are usually made with Carbon Fiber.

As for the electrical parts you don’t have to worry because they are top of the line so you shouldn’t have any problems with them at all.

I’m giving these gloves a 17/20 in this category.

 

Safety


Some aspects of safety go hand in hand with quality. If a glove is built strong enough to protect your hand in a high speed crash then it will sure stand up to general use very well.

These gloves are built with safety in mind without a doubt.

They have plenty of extra Kevlar in the high impact zones such as the palm and the knucles.

They’re also equipped with some extra insulation for warmth but it doubles as protection as well.

They have a good velcro tension strap so that you can secure them on your hand so they don’t come off in the event of a crash.

They may not be quite as good as some of the Carbon Fiber gloves but I still consider these to be a very safe glove.

I’m giving them a 17/20 in this category.

 

Fit


Just like the Epic 2.0 these gloves do fit slightly small. You would probably be better off getting one size bigger than you normally wear especially if you’re between sizes.

Have a look at our Sizing Guide if you are totally sure what size of gloves you should buy.

 

Final Thoughts


I really do like these gloves. You would be hard pressed to find a pair of gloves that are better than these in every category.

Sure there might be some gloves that rate higher in one category but not in all.

You will most deffinitely cure your cold hands with these. I really think these are a good all-round glove and you don’t necessarily need to wear them on cold days only.

You can wear these gloves in a lot of different weather conditions and still be confortable. Just switch the heat off with the touch of a button and you’ll be good to ride in relatively warm weather.

If it’s really hot out, then you might find them too warm and in that case you might want to have an extra pair of thinner gloves to switch to.

I also want to mention that these gloves are touchscreen compatible.

The index finger and the thumb will work with any touchscreen mobile device so that you don’t have to remove your gloves every time you want to read a text or take a call. (obviously when pulled over)

Thanks very much for stopping by today and I hope you found this review helpful. If you have any questions about these gloves or any other gloves I’ve reviewed please don’t hesitate to ask.

Cheers,
