Keeping warm in winter is a tricky affair but Alpinestars have joined the recent trend of creating heated clothing. Alpinestars Tech Heated Vest offers riders excellent body temperature management, using custom flat panel heating elements. The Vest is designed for comfort and ease of use to meet the most demanding of riding conditions.
TECH HEATED VEST HIGHLIGHTS:
Function
  • Flat panel polymer heat panels in the chest, upper shoulder/neck and lower back, are strategically placed a to aid temperature management, giving the most even spread of heat over the largest area.
  • Insulated Lycra outer shell with a fleece lining allows heat to pass evenly from the elements and insulate the body.
  • Self regulating panels remain at a constant temperature to prevent overheating.
Power management
  • Vest takes 55W powered directly from motorcycle battery by a connection cord from battery to an adapter interface on the jacket using an integrated loom.
  • Tech Heated Vest uses new WIO (Wire Integration and Organization) Technology which aids the rider with wire routing on all models of motorcycles. (A special connector is available for BMW motorcycles.)
Additional details
  • Can be used in conjunction with Alpinestars Tech Vest Electronic Temperature Regulator (ETR), available separately.
  • Using the ETR with the Tech Heated Vest allows the rider to select from four different heat settings to give a wider range of climate control.
  • Vest is machine washable Note: This vest is not an outer garment and must always be worn in conjunction with a suitable water resistant outer garment for riding.
Colors: Black/Red
Sizes: S – 2XL
