About the Design
The vest features a one size fits most design that accommodates the majority of the population. The vest works as a mid-layer, radiating high, medium and low heat. The idea was to make a heated vest that was as versatile as possible - it can even power our glove liners - while keeping the heat close to the core of the body. We created a design that works for as many people as possible, and in as many conditions as possible.
The design is unisex and features expandable sizing, making it one-size-fits-most.
Canadians are experts in cold. We test and develop some of the best heated-wear because of our climate. Everyone loved our heated gloves and wanted to see more. So we delivered with this new heated vest. It's a game-changer! We are proud to bring this Canadian product line to the international market.
Too cold in winter?
We found some heated jackets and gloves that could work, but the heat was too weak and didn't last. We needed more power, longer life, and we needed all components to be standard (2.1mm DC connector), interchangeable, flexible, and work well in cold weather. After extensive testing in -25C (-13F) weather in Calgary, Alberta, we have found the right electric fabric heat technology and matched it with the right battery. Now we have a heat-wear system proven to work! Many tradespeople use our products to keep warm on the jobsite.
The Best New Design (Electric Heat Woven into the Fabric)
The old heating technologies are bulky and you can't wash them. They were hard to wear because of poor design, fabric choice, and had copper wire inside the jacket. Our system uses the latest technology carbon fiber as the heating element. It has a soft-touch electronic silicon switch so there are no rigid circuit boards inside. It's soft, flexible, washable, and safe!
Lithium Battery Technology
We have selected the lightest weight, highest output battery possible and built a system that allows it to be interchangeable with different products. Whether you have heated gloves, a vest, or even our high intensity LED lighting systems, you can now use the same battery pack. Our goal is to make a flexible system of products that can be used for multiple purposes.
