Cold on a motorcycle isn't evenly distributed: it hits the hands first, then - indirectly - the feet too, because the body restricts peripheral circulation to protect the torso. That's why the most efficient item to buy first is the heated vest, not the gloves: it warms the part of the body that controls circulation to the extremities.
LOBOO heated gloves, vest, and insoles should be chosen by priority, not all at once. Below are the actual temperature, battery life, sizing, and power details for each, along with the exact cost of every configuration.
Availability note: as of this update, all three items are listed as sold out in the Endurrad shop; the links in this article lead to the collection, where availability is updated as soon as they are back in stock.
Cold on a motorcycle hits your hands first, then the rest
At 90 km/h in a few degrees above zero, your body doesn't cool down evenly: the wind chill hits the extremities first and hardest, and they also have less muscle mass to warm themselves.
- Hands. They're exposed, out in front of everything, and the only part of the body you need to brake: a numb hand isn't an inconvenience, it's a control problem.
- Torso. It isn't the first to suffer, but it controls circulation to the extremities - the reason is explained in the vest section.
- Feet. They suffer as much as your hands but don't control the motorcycle, and there's almost no room to adjust inside a boot.
Heated gloves are the most urgent item if your hands are already the problem
They cost 135 €, power supply not included, and they make the biggest difference to how you feel in the saddle in cold temperatures.
Five layers, not a padded glove
From the outside in: windproof, water-repellent fabric, seamless TPU inner glove, 3M Thinsulate insulation, heating system, and velvet sponge lining. Seamless TPU matters in the rain because it has no entry points for water; at the same thickness, Thinsulate insulates one and a half times better than goose down, so the glove stays thin and sensitive on the controls.
- Full microfiber touchscreen palm, so you can use your phone and GPS without taking your gloves off
- Wiper on the left index finger, useful in rain or snow
- Reflective inserts on the index, middle, and ring fingers, visible at night when you signal
- Kevlar inner lining and non-slip palm to reduce fatigue on the handlebars

A heated vest warms your torso, which also helps warm your hands
It costs 90 € and it offers the best value for money, for a physiological reason: when your torso is cold, your body restricts blood flow to the extremities to protect your organs, and your hands and feet feel the effects first. Warming your torso sends more warm blood to your extremities.
| Level | Temperature | Runtime (10,000 mAh power bank) |
|---|---|---|
| Low, yellow LED | 25 °C | about 4.5 hours |
| Medium, orange LED | 35 °C | about 3.5 hours |
| High, red LED | 45 °C | about 2.2 hours |

Warmth that lasts even when the battery runs out
The heating element is made of carbon fiber, thinner and softer than traditional heating wires - the whole garment weighs 382 grams and fits under a technical jacket without adding bulk; it has no sleeves by design, because extra bulk on the arms is the first thing that gets uncomfortable under a jacket. Even with the heat switched off, the vest provides insulation: the 3M Thinsulate filling retains over 80% of its insulating power when wet, while cotton drops below 30% under the same conditions. So it remains a functional thermal garment even when the electronics run out of power.
Heated insoles warm cold feet from inside the boot
They cost just under 90 € And they are the final piece of the puzzle. Feet get cold before the rest of your body, and with a motorcycle boot there’s no room to add another sock - in fact, a tighter fit makes circulation worse, which makes your feet colder. Insoles solve the problem from the opposite direction, fitting inside the footwear you already use and warming the entire sole.

The power source is the choice that determines how much you actually spend
This is the part almost no one explains before purchase, and it's what leads to emails the next day: the gloves and vest don't include a power source, and the two available options aren't equivalent.
Two ways to power the gloves
Dedicated CP40Pro battery, 4,000 mAh — €23 each, slips into the zippered cuff pocket and weighs 93 grams. Runtime: 2.5 hours on low, 2 on medium, 1.5 on high. Recharges via USB-C in about 2.5 hours with a 2 A charger. You need one per glove: two, not one.
Power bank plus Y-cable — the cable costs €9 and carries power from a single power bank to both gloves, with the cables routed under your jacket. This is the solution for long trips. You need an output of at least 15 W, preferably 18 W: below that threshold, the fast-charging protocols of some power banks can cause interruptions or slower heating.
The vest, on the other hand, has a USB-A cable already built in to the pocket and requires a 5 V, 2 A power bank, which is also not included.
| Configuration | Actual cost |
|---|---|
| Vest, with a power bank you already own | 90 € |
| Gloves with two dedicated CP40Pro batteries | 181 € |
| Gloves with a Y-cable and a power bank you already own | 144 € |
| Heated insoles | 88 € |
The vest is the first purchase; gloves are the more urgent one if your hands are already the problem
- already have a 5 V, 2 A power bank at home
- want the best value for money
- feel cold all over, not just in your hands
- your hands remain the problem too
- you take long highway rides with your feet still for hours
If your hands are already your main concern and the vest alone isn’t enough, go for the gloves - just remember to add two CP40Pro batteries or the Y-cable to your cart. Insoles come next, and they make the most sense for people who take long winter motorway rides, where their feet stay still in the same position for hours.

Frequently asked questions about heated motorcycle clothing
Which heated garment should you start with?
Start with the heated vest: it costs €90, requires no dedicated batteries if you already have a 5 V, 2 A power bank, and warming your torso also indirectly improves circulation to your hands.
Why do your hands get cold before the rest of your body when riding a motorcycle?
They’re exposed to the relative wind, right at the front, and have little muscle mass to warm themselves; they’re also the only part of the body you use to brake, so numbness is a safety issue, not just a matter of comfort.
How much do the LOBOO RST26 heated gloves cost?
€135, excluding the power supply. They’re the most expensive of the three, but also the one that makes the biggest difference to how riding feels in cold weather.
Do the RST26 heated gloves include a battery?
No. They run on a dedicated 4,000 mAh CP40Pro battery (sold separately for €23) or a power bank with an output of at least 15 W, connected using the Y-cable, which is also sold separately.
How long does the heated gloves’ battery last?
With the CP40Pro: about 2.5 hours on low, 2 hours on medium, and 1.5 hours on high (50 °C). Each glove needs one battery, so you’ll need two batteries for the pair.
How do you power heated gloves on a long trip?
With a power bank and the Y-cable, which carries power from a single power bank to both gloves under your jacket. LOBOO recommends an output of at least 15 W, ideally 18 W, because below that threshold some fast-charging protocols can cause interruptions or slower heating.
Why does a heated vest help warm your hands, even though it doesn’t heat them directly?
When your torso gets cold, your body restricts blood flow to the extremities to protect your internal organs, so your hands and feet are the first to suffer. Warming your torso helps circulate warmer blood to your extremities.
How long does the LOBOO RJR10 heated vest last with a 10,000 mAh power bank?
About 4.5 hours on low (25 °C), 3.5 hours on medium (35 °C), and 2.2 hours on high (45 °C), according to the manufacturer’s figures at an ambient temperature of 0 °C and with no wind.
Does the heated vest still work when the battery is dead?
It still provides insulation because the padding is made of 3M Thinsulate: it retains over 80% of its insulating power even when wet, compared with less than 30% for cotton under the same conditions. So without power, it remains a functional thermal garment, not just a switched-off heated vest.
How do you choose the sizes of heated gloves and vests?
For gloves, choose by palm circumference (18.5-19.5 cm for size S to 23.5-24.5 cm for size 3XL, measured with a tailor's tape); for the vest, choose your usual size (M to 3XL). If you're between sizes, LOBOO recommends the larger size because the vest is worn over other layers.
How do motorcycle heated insoles work?
They fit into the footwear you already wear and warm the entire sole of the foot across 4 settings, with a non-slip silicone surface and an IPX7 rating against moisture that builds up inside the boot.
Do heated insoles fit all shoe sizes?
One size fits shoe sizes 38 to 45: trim them using the guides printed on the insole. The cut cannot be corrected, so do it only once, carefully, using the original insole as a template.
How much does it cost to wear a full set of heated gear for winter motorcycling?
The total depends on the power supply you already have: it ranges from about €90 for the vest alone (if you already own a power bank) to about €360 for a vest, gloves with two dedicated batteries, and insoles together.
Are LOBOO heated gloves, vests, and insoles available at Endurrad?
As of the date this article was updated (October 16, 2026), all three products are listed as out of stock in the Endurrad shop. The links in this article point to the heated motorcycle clothing collection, where availability is updated as soon as items are back in stock.
What's the difference between heated gloves and heated grips?
Heated grips are fixed to the handlebars and warm only the palm in contact with the grip; heated gloves warm the whole hand, including the fingers, and can also be worn off the bike. They are complementary rather than alternative solutions — our dedicated guide to heated grips explains how to choose them.
