- How long does the battery last?
- Runtime depends on the heat setting. Expect a few hours on high and most of a day on low. Carry a spare battery for long outings.
- Can I wash it?
- Yes, but remove the battery and disconnect the wiring first. Follow the care label and let it air dry fully before reconnecting power.
- Does it fit under a jacket?
- Yes. The quilted puffer profile layers well under a shell, though the battery pocket adds bulk at the hip.
- Is it warm without the heat on?
- It has synthetic fill and a wind-blocking shell, so it works as a light puffer vest, but it is not as warm as down when unheated.
- What comes in the box?
- The vest, a rechargeable battery and a charging cable. Check the listing for the exact battery included.
- How does it compare with Ororo heated vests?
- Ororo offers app control and more heat zones on some models. The Xtera leans on a puffer build and simpler controls.
