- How long does the battery last?
- Runtime depends on the heat setting. Expect the longest run on low and the shortest on high, so bring the charger or a spare pack for full days outside.
- How does it fit compared with a normal vest?
- It runs roomy to allow layering. If you want a closer fit over a base layer, consider sizing down.
- Can I wear it in rain?
- The softshell resists wind and light moisture, but it is not waterproof. Wear a rain shell over it in steady rain.
- Does it heat the whole vest?
- No. Heating panels cover the chest and back core; the arms and collar stay unheated.
- Is the battery removable?
- Yes. The rechargeable 5V pack sits in a dedicated pocket and connects to the controller, so you can remove it for charging or storage.
- Who is it best for?
- Cold-weather commuters, outdoor workers and hunters who want core warmth without a bulky jacket. It is less suited to people who need all-day heat on the highest setting.
