Which men's heated jacket should you choose?
Match the jacket to your day. A softshell moves with you on active mornings, an insulated puffer holds heat while you stand still, and a rugged work build takes a beating. Line them all up in the full heated jackets range, and if you are gearing up as a pair, the women's heated jackets run the same heat system.
How long will a men's heated jacket run on a charge?
Up to 13 hours on low, and about 2 to 3 hours on high. That covers a full day in the field on the lower settings, where your own body heat does part of the work. Pack a spare battery for dawn-to-dusk cold and you will not think about it again.
Is a heated jacket warm enough without a coat over it?
For light to moderate cold, yes, it works on its own. When the wind kicks up or the temperature drops hard, throw a shell over the top to block the wind and hold the heat in. The panels warm your core, and the shell keeps that warmth from escaping.
How do you clean a heated jacket?
Pull the battery out first, then machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low. Skip bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning, which can damage the wiring. Wash it this way and the panels keep working season after season.
