Wear Gears Canada's electrically heated vest liner over your t-shirt and under your jacket to maximize warmth. Connects directly to the 12V battery in your motorcycle, snowmobile, or ATV for non-stop heat. Add a portable battery pack to keep the heat going even when you're not riding.
- Leverages ZEPTO fiber technology; made in France, these heating fibers are so thin you wouldn't be able to notice them if not for their tremendous heat output.
- ZEPTO fibers are lighter and heater up faster than the heating wire in Gears Canada's Gen-X3 line of heated clothing.
- Ergonomically designed to hug the contours of your body.
- Uniform heat delivered all over the front, back, and collar.
- Two easily accessible side pockets on the front of the vest to keep a wallet or other essentials.
- Breathable and water-resistant fabric.
- The bottom edge of the vest lands just above the beltline thus maintaining your range of motion.
- Pairs seamlessly with the heated gloves or glove liners.
- Note: Wear this vest over a t-shirt and under a jacket to maximize heat retention.
Choosing the Correct Size:
- Make sure you are wearing only a t-shirt.
- Measuring your chest (just under the arms) and then your stomach.
- Take the larger of these two measurements as your reference point.
- A 42 size vest is a good fit for a person with a 42-inch reference point (when worn properly, the vest should hug the contours of your body).
Optional Portable Battery Add-on: Consider purchasing one of Gears Canada's Heated Clothing Portable Battery Kits if you'd like to use your heated vest when you get off your vehicle. In other words, a portable battery will allow you to use this vest while skiing, snowboarding, or just taking a walk on a cold day.
