Merlin Powers Winter Riding Comfort with the New ThermaVolt Heated Mid-Layer Collection & Level 2 CE Bednell Heated Glove
British motorcycle apparel specialist Merlin is proud to introduce the ThermaVolt heated mid-layer collection. A new range of rider-focused heated clothing designed to make cold-weather motorcycling more comfortable and versatile than ever. Merlin also launches CE Level 2 certified Bednell Heated Glove, further exemplifying Merlin’s commitment to delivering innovative motorcycle safety gear.
The ThermaVolt range offers a full-body heating solution that connects directly to a motorcycle’s 12V power supply or operates independently via Merlin’s high-performance rechargeable 6,000mAh battery packs. With lightweight construction, micro carbon fibre heating panels, and Merlin’s innovative Heat Reflection System, the collection delivers efficient warmth exactly where it’s needed. Riders can wear the garments as mid-layers beneath riding gear or even as stand-alone outdoor clothing for everyday winter activities.
The range consists of a mid-layer lightweight jacket, trousers and socks, all of which can be heated independently or interconnected as one full body heating system and when paired with the Merlin Heated Glove collection, ThermaVolt garments will provide seamless warm riding comfort this winter.
