How Does Heated Clothing Work?
Fieldsheer's heated clothing uses rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and our Mobile Warming® technology to power flexible heating elements sewn into the fabric. These elements distribute heat evenly across key areas, like your chest and back. You can adjust the temperature with built-in and Bluetooth controls on many devices, making it easy to stay warm no matter the conditions.
How Long Do the Batteries in Heated Clothing Last?
Battery life depends on the heat setting you choose. Our heated clothes have 4 temperature settings. On the highest heat settings, batteries provide 2-3 hours of warmth, on the lowest it’s 8-10 hours of comfort.
Fieldsheer's heated clothing uses high-capacity batteries, and you can even bring an extra battery pack for extended warmth during long outings. Please refer to your garment's user manual for estimated heat times for your specific product.
