How long does the battery last?

Run time depends on the heat setting. Expect the longest use on low and the shortest on high, so carry a spare pack for long days out.

Yes, once you remove the battery pack and disconnect the wiring. Follow the care label and let it air dry fully before reconnecting power.

No. The puffer shell resists light drizzle at best, so wear a rain shell over it in wet weather.

How does it fit compared with a regular vest?

It runs boxy to leave room for layers. If you want a closer fit, consider sizing down, especially over thin base layers.

Yes. The puffer fill still traps warmth with the power off, so it works as an ordinary insulated vest.

You get the vest and a rechargeable 5V battery pack with its charging cable. Check the listing for the exact pack capacity.
