Keis J501 Premium Heated Jacket - Black / Red

Sorry I can't tell you how good the jacket works due to lockdown. But here are so other points. The service & helpfulness of the sales team was fantastic, the jacket is very well made & fits perfectly, I'm a medium normally but purchased a small. 5 stars for service & quality.

Purchased for the colder months and used a couple of times now. Its a great alternative to bulking up with layers which aways seems to impede my head movement! It gets warm quickly and its easy to install the power supply from the bike. I used an adapter to connect to the installed battery conditioner cable to reduce connections to the battery and it works fine. I also bought a battery so I can use it with my other bike and the 5200mAh battery lasts about 1.5hrs on medium heat which gets me to work and back ok.

having already owning one when it came to getting my wife a replacement for her ageing no branded one had no second thoughts about buy another even on the coldest of days this jacket keeps the chills at bay. the only small point i would make is that it is a lose fit on the sleeves which tend to ride up slightly within the over jacket and if the outer jacket is of a tight fit could be uncomfortable.
my original one has done 3 seasons so far with no loss of performance and still looks as good as the day it was purchased.

Sono davvero soddisfatto della qualità della giacca e del comfort che regala durante le uscite in moto con circa 0°C

Usual 1st class service from SBS. I had a problem with connecting the gloves to the jacket and the after sales help was excellent as always. Couple of points worth noting .... if you are using gloves with the jacket then both ends of the controller need to be connected to the plugs in the small pocket in front of the jacket. Also if connected to the bike battery you need to turn on the gloves after the bike has been started .... they will switch off when the engine is started otherwise. Also these won't work off a din socket on a BMW...the canvas only allows a max of 5 amps to be drawn through the socket.

Great service as usual and the jacket already lives up to expectations. I've upgraded from a 1st generation Keis Gillet which has finally lost its oomph. This new jacket is thinner, snug and achieves a perfect, warm temperature at both low and medium. Not had the weather for Hot yet. The controlller is a must in my opinion.

As for sizing, everyones advice to go smaller is right. I am 5'4" tall with a 31" waist and a bit too chunky 40" chest. My arms are 19" shoulder to wrist. I normally take medium in tops (not large) and my go-to formal jacket size is 40 short or 42 short for a relaxed buttoned up fit.

I took a punt on a size XS which fits perfectly. Snug as I wanted it, comfortable over a thermal top and great under my jacket (with lining removed).

Highly recommended.

Bought this 2 weeks ago, gone are the wearing of multiple layers to keep warm on these chilly days, just a normal shirt, the heated jacket and my textile jacket. Despite riding in zero degrees the max I had to have it on was on the lower setting. Wired directly to battery so no issues keeping it going for a 6 hour bimble. Just got to get the gloves now, cannot wait

Warm and comfortable even before you switch it on. I have an Oxford mondial jacket XL and bought the medium based on recommendations from reviews to go down 1-2 sizes. Fits snuggly over a thin base layer. The thinner the better to get close contact with the elements. Removed the thermal layer from my jacket. No more michelin man. On the motorway in 6deg weather with the temp on high the heat is perfect. Fantastic product, seems well made. Love it.

Got too small a one, but rapidly replaced (excellent service) and its replacement fits well. Excellent constructions, comfortable, and fits well under my jacket over a single layer of a log sleeved 'T' shirt. Even the instructions are clear! Without connecting it up it kept me warm down to 4.5degrees. However I still haven't used it in anger and from all I've read and heard it will keep me toasty.

Difficult to fault this one.
I got a Small that I wear over a thermal top. Not tried medium or high yet. Low is plenty warm enough down to 4'c

Nice that the jacket had connectors for gloves and pants. I assume the power controller will handle all of these?

Tried connecting it through the bmw power socket thing, but that wouldn't supply 7amps, so I wired the supplied power lead to the battery with a 10a fuse.

I'm losing a bit of weight at the moment so I didn't want to spend £1k on some winter textiles which may not fit come the following year. As such, my Keis heated jacket is a god send, I have been wearing my ventilated mesh summer jacket (RST Ventilator 5) with the Keis and being perfectly warm in the November air. Once you try heated gear, you'll not go back.

A good looking, comfortable, thoughtfully-designed inner jacket that looks like an outer jacket. Woks with or without the heating controls as it's well-insulated. Worn it to go walking as well as for use on bike. The electrical connections are cleverly designed into the fabric and pockets of the jacket. I like the fact that it's both a smart fashionable jacket and a practical one.

This is a well designed and well made jacket and works really well, keeping chest back and arms nice and warm. I wear it over a thermal baselayer with the waterproof armoured shell jacket on top and, although there's been no frosty weather yet, I reckon it'll be more than adequate for all conditions. I wore it today on a high and windy route, temperature around 5C + wind chill, and used the medium setting for the first time. Low is usually enough. I bought size S on the advice of previous reviewers, even though my normal size is M/L, and the fit is snug but comfortable. It's well insulated and quite warm in its own right, even when switched off. It also looks good and will be ideal on touring trips when worn off the bike, and has plenty of useful pockets. Excellent value and a great addition to the bike wardrobe.

A well designed jacket. Arms are a good length and the fit is perfect for under your bike jacket. Just remember to size down from what you normally buy. Have only used the lowest setting so far but amazingly warm across the whole body, arms and neck. It's a wind blocker too, so even without the heat it is really effective. Easy to connect to your battery too.

Used twice, very impressed so far, looks well made.
