- How long does the battery last?
- Runtime depends on the heat setting. Expect several hours on low and much less on high. Carry a spare battery for long hikes.
- Does it run true to size?
- It runs snug. If you plan to layer a fleece or hoodie underneath, size up one.
- Is it waterproof?
- No. The nylon shell resists light wind and drizzle, but it is not a rain jacket. Wear a shell over it in steady rain.
- Can I wash it?
- Yes, but remove the battery first and follow the care label. Use a gentle cycle and air dry to protect the heating elements.
- How does it compare with other heated jackets?
- It is lighter and simpler than app-controlled rivals like Ororo, with fewer heat zones. It suits hikers who want basic core warmth without extra tech.

- The jacket and a rechargeable battery with charger. Check the listing for the exact battery capacity included.
