REV’IT! Liberty H2O Heated Gloves – The Verdict

After multiple rides through frosty conditions, I can decisively say the **Revit Liberty gloves stand apart from other winter glove options I’ve tested.

** The quadruple threat of wind protection, insulation, direct heating, and weather resistance combines to keep hands warmer than anything I’ve ever tested before.

Despite the beefy construction, they retain an impressive feel and dexterity, too. For cold-weather riders looking for gloves that can stand up to hours of winter highway refinement but retain supple comfort and touchscreen convenience, the Revit Liberty heated gloves should top your wish list. Highly recommended!

First Impressions

My initial thought after trying the Revit Liberty heated gloves was that they mean business. The supple goatskin leather exudes a premium look and feels, while smart design touches like the bonded seam construction and knuckle armor check the protection boxes.

The integrated battery pack, with its neatly hidden charging port and illuminated display, adds a high-tech element I haven’t seen in other winter gloves.

Slipping them on, I immediately noticed the plush liner and soft inner fleece that envelop your hands in warmth.

So far, so good, but the real test would be venturing out on two wheels in frigid conditions. Time to fire up the bike!

Comparison to other Winter Motorcycle Gloves

Product

Description

Revit Liberty Heated Gloves

Integrated heating system, insulation & weather protection, touchscreen compatible

Klim Inversion Insulated Gloves

Heavy insulation for subzero temps, windproof Hipora liner, reinforced palm

Merlin Minworth Heated Gloves

3 heat settings, soft padded palm, ample crash protection

Revit Chevak GTX Gloves

Waterproof & breathable, PrimaLoft insulation, goat skin leather

The Revit Liberty heated gloves stand out for their integrated battery heating system compared to the detachable packs of the Merlin and Klim models.

They offer more weather protection than the Merlin gloves but less hardcore insulation than the Klim Inversion glove designed for subzero temperatures.

The Revit Chevak GTX supplies waterproofness that is missing from the Liberty glove but lacks the built-in heating ability.

Taking Them for a Cold Weather Test Ride

Setting out with temperatures hovering just above freezing, my hands initially felt quite comfortable without even switching on the heating elements.

The combination of insulation and wind-resistant outer shell easily blocks cold drafts. Activating the “low” heat setting instantly elevated the coziness factor, flooding my fingers with gentle warmth.

Cranking it up to the medium setting as I picked up speed on the freeway ramp, I nudged the warmth from pleasant to outright toasty within about a minute.

Impressive! As expected, the liner and insulation retained heat nicely, while airflow kept the high-wear palm material feeling breezy.

Key Features and Technology

Now, let’s dive deeper into the Revit Liberty gloves’ construction and functionality. Key aspects like the 4,000 mAh battery, heating elements, and weather protection stood out as difference-makers for cold weather use.

Built-In Heating System

Unlike many heated gloves needing bulky auxiliary batteries, the Liberty model integrates a slender 4,000 mAh power pack seamlessly into the cuff.

It charges via the nearly ubiquitous micro USB standard and even features a fuel gauge displaying current battery life.

Four temperature settings let you customize warmth, while quick heat-up times prevent shivering until things get toasty. I found battery life to be an impressive 2+ hours, even running full blast.

Combination of Insulation and Weather Protection

A high-loft polyester fleece lines the entire inner glove for warmth, augmented by a thin layer of Primaloft insulation.

The hydrotech membrane and full goatskin leather construction also supply water resistance to withstand light precipitation.

On rides around 40°F, the insulation and wind protection alone kept hands quite comfortable, even without battery power. Turning on the heat pushed them into downright cozy territory.

Pre-curved Design With Touchscreen Compatible Fingertips

Unlike many bulky winter gloves, Liberty’s pre-curved cut and articulated fingers supply a relaxed grip and dexterous feel akin to a softshell summer glove. Convenient conductive thumb and forefinger pads allow easy smartphone and GPS use, too.

The glove tips also wipe clear foggy visors easily thanks to a soft fleece panel across the fingers.

Abrasion Protection Via Goatskin Leather and Reinforced Palm

Goatskin leather brings suppleness with ample abrasion and tear resistance. Cowhide reinforcements on the palm significantly bolster grip and durability, too.

Plastic sliders across the heel of the palm and outer wrist supply additional crash protection as well.

For commuting or around-town use, they offer ample safety without feeling excessively rugged or stiff.

Questions and Answers

How does the sizing run on these Revit heated gloves?

I found the sizing accurate but slightly on the roomy side. As a normally large, the men’s large Liberty gloves fit great with a liner layer underneath. I’d recommend ordering your typical glove size unless you plan to wear two-liners or prefer a very tight fit.

How do these compare to rival heated gloves from Gerbing or Warn?

The major advantage over traditional batteries and cords is Liberty’s slim, integrated battery and one-piece heated glove design. Beyond convenience, they’re also among the warmest gloves I’ve worn and seem better optimized to retain heat. Gerbing and Warn do have some higher-powered models, though.

Would these Revit gloves work well for scooters or ATV use, too?

Definitely! Their protective leather exterior and knuckle guard should excel for off-roading, too. The dexterity and grip are good for operating quad and cycle controls. I’d say they’re among the most versatile heated winter powersports gloves out there.

What’s maintenance or longevity for the heating system like?

Battery performance remained consistent over six months of steady testing, even through repeated charging cycles. The micro USB charging port eliminates the annoyance of replaceable connectors failing, too. The heating pads and connections are sealed within the glove layers as well, so debris or moisture shouldn’t degrade them, barring a crash or extensive wear.

And Finally…

If comfort trumps cost and cold prevention is a priority for your winter rides, the Revit Liberty gloves deserve heavy consideration.

Their quadruple threat protection system, outer wind and water resistance, mid insulation, inner fleece, plus active heating, offers unmatched warmth for motorcycle use.

Factor in excellent feel and dexterity, plus smart touches like the integrated battery and fuel gauge display, and they look difficult to beat.

Riders looking for ultimate hand protection when temperatures plummet would be well served by these Liberty heated winter gloves.
