Splicing A Heated Jacket….

@Tigcraft Great topic. I am thinking about a heated jacket now.

 

@Tigcraft Think all i need is a basic jacket with heating. Got all the rest that i am happy with.

 

I have a Keis waistcoat and Keis gloves.
Also I have a Keis power splitter 1 to 3 @ £8. Splits the power before the waistcoat controller.
So I can bike power both waistcoat and gloves. Using a heat controller for the waistcoat but it does not control the gloves as they have their own.

 

@Tigcraft

My system is
Power lead to the splitter.
One splitter outlet lead connected to the jacket power controller.
Other splitter outlet lead is connected to the lead that runs to the jacket then internally down the sleeves, to the gloves.
The gloves came with the lead that runs down through the jacket sleeves.
I did contact Keis the gloves must not be powered through an external power controller as they have their own power controller.

 

@Tigcraft

For shorter runs I use Keis batteries (£85) and should get about 3 ~ 4 hrs on low. That still kept my hand warm in about 4C - no hand guards so in the full wind blast. Though I was carrying the other leads in the panniers.

 

Haha yep, I started with the basic Gerbing too… thought it’d be enough. A splitter like the Keis 1-to-3 works if you wanna run gloves or pants without cutting up the jacket. Life-changing once you’ve got all the layers running!
