Are Base Layers Warmer Than Thermals?

Yes, heated base layers are significantly warmer than traditional thermals. While thermals rely on insulation alone, heated base layers combine thermal fabrics with active heating technology to provide consistent warmth, even in extreme cold. 

This makes them a great choice for extended outdoor activities like skiing or hiking. Pair your heated base layers with other heated gear such as our jacket collection for ultimate comfort and warmth. 

Should Base Layers Be Tight or Loose?

Base layers should fit snugly against your body to maximize their effectiveness. A close fit allows the heating elements to work efficiently while also wicking moisture away from your skin. 

If your heated base layer feels too loose, it might not provide optimal warmth. If you're in extreme cold, it may be helpful to pair your base layers with heated socks and other heated clothing.

What Occasions Are Most Common For Wearing Heated Base Layers?

Heated base layers are perfect for a wide range of cold-weather activities including:

• Early morning hikes
• Snowboarding trips
• Skiing trips
• Chilly commutes
• Outdoor work
• Hunting

These heated base layers keep you safe and warm so you can enjoy your time outdoors.

How Long Does The Heated Base Layer Charge Last?

Our heated vests have 4 temperature settings, each impacting the battery life differently. If you’re using the highest heat settings, you can get 2 to 3 hours of warmth, while our low settings offer 8 to 10 hours of warmth.

Always carry a backup battery if you’re planning extended outings.

Using your smartphone or smart watch, you can easily adjust the heat levels to match your comfort needs, whether you prefer mild warmth or maximum heat.
