Merlin Minworth Heated Gloves XL

Hands down our favourite thing here at Urban Rider is getting hold of gear that truly looks vintage in its styling cues but in actual fact features some pretty impressive tech behind it. The Merlin Minworth Heated Gloves are the perfect example of this – at first glance a gorgeous retro pair of leather riding gloves with classic rolled leather panelling details. Under the surface however lie powerful heating elements that will keep your mitts toasty in the coldest of weather. The subtly branded unassuming controller and LED indicator is featured on the wrist of the glove and enables you to engage 3 levels of heat depending on the elements you are facing. The Minworth gloves come with two rechargeable batteries that slot into internal cuff pockets without a trace and remain inconspicuous all ride long. On the mid-level setting the gloves will last for 4 hours – plenty for a chilly daily commute plus a little extra. The Hipora waterproof and breathable membrane will keep your hands dry in the most miserable of conditions and a dual-thickness Thinsulate C thermal liner helps you retain all of that lovely warmth generated by the heating elements. The premium cowhide leather construction plus slimline D3O knuckle protection make up a supremely protective glove that you can trust if it all goes sideways and touchscreen compatible finger and thumb tips let you operate your phone or navigation at the drop of a hat.
