Heated Motorcycle Pant Liners

Heated Motorcycle Pants FAQ's

Do I need heated pants or is a jacket enough?
For most "chilly" days, a heated jacket or vest is enough because it keeps your core warm, and your core pumps warm blood everywhere else. However, for truly cold, "deep winter" riding, your legs (especially your thighs) are very exposed to the wind. Heated pants are the key to being able to ride comfortably in sub-freezing temps. See our thoughts on heated gear here.

How do heated pants get power?
They get power in two ways. 12 Volt options will have a wire that connects to your main heated gear controller, which is plugged into your bike's battery. If you have a heated jacket from the same brand, you can often "daisy-chain" them, plugging your pants into a wire on your jacket, which then plugs into the bike. 7V systems will have their own battery, so there's no need to tap into your bike's electrical system, but you'll have to keep an eye on battery life during longer rides.

Are heated pants safe?
Yes, they are very safe. The heating elements are sealed and insulated, and they operate on a low-voltage system. They are designed specifically for the rigors of motorcycling, so you don't need to worry about them shorting out in the rain or getting too hot.

Can I wear heated pants with jeans
 You should wear them under a proper pair of motorcycle riding pants. They are designed as a "mid-layer" liner, not as a standalone pant. You would wear a moisture-wicking base layer first, then the heated pant liner, and then your protective, abrasion-resistant textile or leather riding pants on the outside.
