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

Heated Motorcycle Glove Liners – VentureHeat 12V

October 1, 2016 by Leave a Comment

If you’re looking for a pair of heated motorcycle gloves but you don’t want to spend too much money you might want to consider liners.

Heated Motorcycle Glove Liners are a great way to get the benefit of heated gloves without paying a fortune.

This pair of liners from VentureHeat only works if connected directly to your motorbike’s 12V battery so keep that in mind.

Heated Gloves Overview


I’ve been putting a lot of focus on heated glove liners lately because I really feel like they’re a good alternative to buying a fancy all encompassing pair of heated gloves.

The reason I say that is because not only are they much cheaper than buying a pair of heated motorcycle gloves that are insulated but they’re just more practical because most people already own a pair of insulated regular motorcycle gloves that you can wear over top of liners.

So if you already own a pair of motorcycle gloves that you’re happy with and that offer good comfort and protection, then you might be better off getting some heated liners to wear underneath.

These VentureHeat 12v liners are a great option. One cool thing about them is that they work well with or without a pair of gloves over top of them.

If the weather is cool but not too cold then you can get away with wearing just these gloves with the heat on. This is a nice option because they’re so thin that it barely feels like you’re even wearing gloves.

The only problem is that they don’t offer very much protection all on their own.

If you’ve never installed a heated accessory on your motorcycle before don’t worry because it’s really easy. Here’s a quick video showing you how it’s done.

 

 

Easy right? So once you’ve installed them you’re ready to go. I often just keep the liners in a pouch or bag and break them out anytime my hands start to feel cold.

Another great reason to buy these gloves is their compatibility with other VentureHeat products.

If you already own a VentureHeat Jacket or Pants then you won’t even have to install the battery harness. You just plug these gloves right into your jacket or gloves and you’re ready to go.

 

Comfort + Warmth


So these gloves are made with what they call Xtreme Comfort Technology. What this means is that they use ultra-thin heating panels instead of bulky heating coils that a lot of other heated gloves use.

xct

They use alloy fibers to distribute the heat and it makes for a much more flexible glove with great dexterity.

Aside from the great dexterity and flexibility, they’re very comfortable because you can’t even tell that there are heat elements in them when you wear them.

The material is 86% Polyester and 14% Spandex so they have a very stretchy and flexible feel to them. You should make sure that they fit snug on your hand so that they’ll fit under your other gloves easily.

They’re so light and thin that it barely even feels like you’re wearing gloves at all. That is of course until the heat starts pumping through them.

The heat draws a total of 1.3 amps and provides more than enough heat. The heat runs along the perimeter of the palm and all along each finger with even heat distribution.

These gloves will be hot enough on their own with the heat on in mild temperatures but when it gets colder out you’ll want to put a pair of insulated gloves over top.

Even if you just have a pair of leather gloves over top that will help a lot because these gloves on their own do not break the wind at all.

The leather will help break the wind as well as provide some extra insulation to keep that heat in. So on their own they aren’t crazy warm but when worn with other gloves they can be extremely warm.

There is however only one setting. On or Off. There is an option to buy a switch for it but I think most people are satisfied just unplugging them when they want the heat off.

For comfort I’m giving them a 19/20 and for warmth I’m giving them a 17/20. 

 

Water Resistance


In rainy weather these gloves won’t keep your hands dry at all. The water will just go right through them.

They aren’t designed to be waterproof nor are they advertised that way but it won’t wreck them if they get wet so you don’t have to stress if they get a little bit wet by accident.

It’s not exactly fair if I give them a poor score like 10/20 in this category because they aren’t really designed to be worn all on their own.

Since these are designed to be worn underneath gloves you can simply put a waterproof glove overtop of them and then you’ll be good to go.

So in a way these gloves are good for rain if you have the right shell but again, I can’t give them a score like 20/20 in this category because they require a shell to make them waterproof.

With all of this being considered I’m going to meet close to the middle and give them a 16/20 in this category.

 

 

Quality


I’ll stand behind the quality of any VentureHeat product. I’ve used and tested many different pairs of VentureHeat gloves and I know that they’re all high quality.

These are no different and you’ll be able to feel the quality right away when you put them on.

They stand behind their products and they’ll give you your money back within 30 days if you’re not happy with them but I just don’t see that being necessary.

I’m giving them a 19/20 in this category.

 

Safety


As with the water resistance category this one is a bit tricky. Since these are designed to be worn underneath other gloves they’re really as safe as the shell gloves you wear with them.

With that being said, they don’t provide much protection at all on their own. Since they’re made of thin polyester and spandex they will not stand up to any significant road rash.

They do however have a very nice adjustable cuff that will keep the gloves on tight so they won’t come off in the event of a crash.

I’m giving them a 16/20 in this category much for the same reasons that I gave them a 16/20 in the water resistance category.

 

Fit


Much like other VentureHeat gloves these one fit very true to size. I would recommend you check out our Sizing Guide just to make sure you know what size to order.

It is very important that these gloves are fitted quite tight so that they will go underneath other gloves without bunching up so keep that in mind too.

 

Final Thoughts


As a liner these are pretty much as good as it gets. You know you’ll be getting a good quality product that has a well known name behind it.

The comfort is great and the warmth is too.

For a very reasonable price you can have toasty warm hands while riding any time of the year.

They aren’t touchscreen compatible which might be a factor for some of you. If that’s the make or break for you then I would recommend the Glovii liners instead.

I truly believe that these gloves will satisfy just about any rider out there.

Thanks very much for stopping by today. If you have any questions or comments please use the box below and I’ll respond ASAP.

Cheers,

Robert
