Advanced Thermal Protection for All-Weather Riding

The Merlin Summit Heated Gloves combine traditional cowhide leather durability with active heating technology to combat the harshest winter conditions. Designed with a Hipora waterproof membrane and a sophisticated D3O® knuckle protector, these gloves ensure riders remain dry and protected without sacrificing dexterity. The integrated heating system offers adjustable warmth levels, making them a premium choice for long-distance touring and cold-weather commuting through the coldest months.

Key Features

• Heating System: A cuff-mounted controller manages the internal heat with three distinct LED temperature indicators for easy adjustment while riding.
• Durable Construction: Built from a blend of premium cowhide leather and nylon stretch panels to provide a balance of abrasion resistance and flexibility.
• Impact Protection: Features D3O® knuckle protection externally reinforced with SuperFabric for superior abrasion and impact performance.
• Weatherproofing: Equipped with a Hipora membrane that is both fully waterproof and breathable to keep hands dry during heavy rain.
• Thermal Insulation: Uses high-density Polar fleece with 260g on the back of the hand and 100g on the palm for maximum heat retention.
• Battery Performance: Includes two 2200mah rechargeable batteries providing approximately four hours of use at a mid-level heat setting.
• Internal Storage: Discrete internal pockets located on the cuffs house the batteries securely without compromising comfort or fit.
• Device Compatibility: Features touchscreen-compatible tips on the fingers and thumbs for easy use of smartphones and navigation units.

Materials and Construction

The Merlin Summit is engineered for the rider who demands both warmth and tactile feedback. By utilising a thinner 100g fleece on the palm alongside a thicker 260g layer on the back of the hand, Merlin ensures riders maintain a precise feel for the motorcycle controls while protecting the most exposed areas from wind chill. The inclusion of nylon stretch panels allows the glove to move naturally with the hand, reducing fatigue during extended stints in the saddle.
