- How long does the battery last?
- Runtime depends on the heat setting; the highest setting drains the pack fastest. Expect a few hours at high heat and longer at low, and carry a spare for full days outdoors.
- Is it waterproof?
- The polyester shell is waterproof and handles rain and snow. Seams and the zipper are the weak points in sustained heavy rain, so wear a shell over it in a downpour.
- Can I wear it under a jacket?
- Yes. The puffer fill is low enough profile to layer under a shell, and the fleece lining sits comfortably over a base layer.
- How does it compare with a heated jacket?
- A heated jacket warms the arms too but is bulkier and harder to layer. This vest keeps your core warm and your arms free, which suits active use like skiing and hiking.
- What sizes are available?
- It comes in men's sizes from Small through 3XL. The puffer cut runs roomy, so size down if you want a close fit under a shell.
- Does it come with a battery and charger?
- It ships with the 5V battery and charging cable needed to run the heat. Check the kit contents for your size before ordering.
