Riding through autumn, winter, or in cold early mornings can be tough on hands, feet, and core - especially in the UK weather. That’s where Merlin’s heated motorcycle clothing comes to the rescue. And for riders who want quality and reliability, Veloce Club offers a curated range of Merlin's heated gear that keeps you warm without compromising on safety or comfort.
Here’s what you need to know, why it matters, and what Merlin heated products Veloce Club carries.
Why Heated Motorcycle Gear Matters
-
Comfort + Endurance: Cold extremities reduce dexterity and slow reaction times. Heated clothing means you can ride longer without discomfort.
-
Safety: Hypothermia or cold-induced stiffness can impair judgement. Keeping your core, hands, and feet warm helps maintain control.
-
Versatility: In mixed weather or long rides through changing climates, heated layers can adapt. Many Merlin pieces let you adjust heat levels or switch them off when not needed.
What Merlin Offers in Their Heated Collection
Merlin has built a heated line (gloves, mid-layers, trousers, socks, batteries) that features:
-
Multiple timer or power settings (e.g. 3 heat settings on their gloves) so you can tailor warmth.
-
Battery-powered systems (both garment-battery and glove cuff batteries). Some heated items connect directly to the motorcycle battery; others use portable battery packs.
-
A wide range of accessories: starter kits, high-capacity batteries, connectors and leads. This means riders can mix-and-match parts or expand their heated setup.

Tips for Choosing Merlin Heated Gear
-
Battery Capacity vs Ride Duration: If you're doing long rides, get higher mAh batteries or spare batteries. Heated trousers and multiple layers draw more power.
-
Layering Matters: Heated mid-layers are most effective when insulated by outer shells (windproof, waterproof).
-
Fit & Comfort: Heated gear often needs to fit under or over other gear; ensure mobility (knees, elbows), no bunching.
-
Water & Weather Resistance: Make sure electrical components (battery, connectors) are sufficiently protected from moisture. Merlin's designs tend to consider this.
-
Maintenance & Battery Care: Proper charge, avoid full discharges, store batteries properly in off-season.
