Clim8 Takes Care of Motorcyclists’ Hands

Every rider knows that without a minimum of comfort and maximum safety, the joys of riding a motorcycle can quickly turn into a disaster.

Riding a motorcycle in winter allows you to discover breathtaking landscapes, marvel at the majesty of snow-covered mountains, or enjoy the silence of cities shrouded in fog. The hardest part, however, is enduring the cold which, despite layering, manages to penetrate down to our bones. 

The technicality of clothing becomes even more important: a good windproof jacket, a quality neck warmer, and appropriate trousers are essential! Equally important is a pair of gloves that keep your hands safe and warm, the central control point.

Hands are the first part of the body affected by low temperatures, especially if they are not protected by a pair of hand guards. However, a good glove should not only protect the hands from the cold but also allow easy access to the levers. For this reason, and many others, the heated glove is now the new frontier of comfort on a motorcycle.

clim8, a company founded in Lyon in 2016, specializes in creating intelligent heating technologies found, among others, in motorcycle gloves. The company provides a high-end heating technology dedicated to clothing ‘smart’.

Automatically activated when they detect hands, these gloves incorporating clim8 technology feature sensors whose results are analyzed in real-time by an integrated processor within the product. Monitoring hand temperature, an automatic thermal response, 100% tailored to the user’s needs, is then immediately provided, according to the preconfigured profile (age, gender, cold sensitivity, etc.) and temperature.

The gloves only actively heat if the internal temperature drops below the previously set level. Once that temperature is reached, they save energy and simply maintain that temperature.
