It’s a familiar problem for many, it’s too hot to put on a jacket and too cold to go outside without one. Especially on windy days, the weather can change and you are either far too hot or far too cold. To overcome these problems, many people opt for a gilet. This is right in between hot and cold, so you don’t have to worry about the temperature fluctuations on those days. People who go for luxury these days wear a heated vest. These come in all shapes and varieties, which is why we will look at the following options below. If you opt for a heated vest, it is important to consider in advance what you will be using it for. For example, you can choose a very thin heated vest that you can use as an outer layer, but which can also be used as an intermediate layer on really cold days. This has the advantage that you are very flexible in setting your own temperature. For example, an extra layer of clothing over the vest acts as an insulating layer so that the heat stays in. If you prefer a heated vest that is slightly thicker and that you want to wear over your jumper or cardigan, the quilted vest is more for you. Because it is a little thicker by itself, it is also a little more insulating and retains heat a little better than the thin version. In addition to the two different vests, it is important to choose how many heating elements you would like to have in the heated vest. There is a so-called single heating model, which contains 5 elements. The elements are well distributed with three on the back and two on the stomach, so that you are nice and warm on both sides of your body. However, if you want even more heating, there is also the dual heating model. This heated vest has twice as many heating elements, six on the back and four on the stomach. Because this model has twice as many heating elements, it also gets twice as hot. The heated vest is powered by a high-performance power bank. The model with single heating is always supplied with one power bank, while the model with double heating is equipped with two. Each power bank heats five elements in this way so that they all get enough power. The advantage of dual heating technology is that you can operate the different elements separately. If it’s really cold, you can set everything to the highest level, but if you don’t need that much heating, you can also switch off five elements completely.
