Attention: KLAN makes heated motorcycle clothing (here: motorcycle gloves) and lets you choose how to connect them. Cables and a battery (if any) are NEVER supplied as standard. It requires a bit of puzzling, but the result is a tailor-made composition in function of your wishes. And nothing stays unused in the box, which translates into a more competitive total price.
The Infinity 3.0 is a very high quality touring motorcycle glove as standard. Classic black in style and looks, with a bunch of functionalities. A durable PU leather palm, reinforced with a TPR protector. The back of the hand is polyester and hides an EVA knuckle protection. Pieces of reflective Night Eye, a lining in Thinsulate and microfleece, up to the touchscreen top of index finger and thumb, this is undeniably a topper.
And then the essentials are yet to come: the Infinity 3.0 is a heated motorcycle glove that has everything you need to keep your hands nice and warm - in four different modes. The way you do that, you choose yourself.
Our preference is for the cable connection to the motorcycle battery. That combination (glove + cables) is the best guarantee for competitively priced quality.
If you want to supply the gloves with motorbike battery power via a cable, you'll need two cables: a power cable (here you can choose between a battery cable, a cable to a cigarette lighter plug or a cable to a DIN-plug like on a BMW) and a 'double connection cable'.
These heated gloves use a maximum of 3,1 Ampere.
Those who opt for separate batteries increase their freedom of movement with respect to the motorcycle, but do so at the expense of something else: autonomy and price.
The batteries can be either 7,4V or 12V Li-Po batteries. Beware, those are NOT the same as for the KLAN jackets and pants. A 12V battery performs better in cold weather, but does not last as long. The 7.4V battery gives less heat for a longer time. But, choosing is also always a bit of losing. See also the box below. The KLAN Infinity has four modes. These are easily set by means of the push button on the cuff of each motor glove.
| setting | Battery life 7,4V | Battery life 12V |
|---|---|---|
| Level 4 (red) | 2u45 | 2u |
| Level 3 (purple) | 3u30 | 2u30 |
| Level 2 (blue) | 4u30 | 3u30 |
| Level 1 (white) | 6u | 5u |
Warm' comes in different intensities and degrees, but the specific place where the warmth manifests itself also plays a role.
Here we are specifically talking about the upper side of the fingers and the fingertips.
It goes without saying that the heat, once present, does disperse, which - more than heating up a single spot - ensures the best effect.
Since these gloves contain electronic components, it goes without saying that they should not be machine washed. A gentle hand wash is possible though, provided you dry the connectors with a hair dryer after washing.
