Heated Vests

[Deleted member 21258]

Was speaking to a starter yesterday and he had one of these and spoke very highly of them :-

New ARRIS 7.4V Battery Heated Vest Size Adjustable Vest（Fleece） – arrislife

Anyone had one, what did you think of them ?

or maybe a cheaper version one, which one ?

Thanks

Knowing my luck it would malfunction and catch fire. Not going to risk it.

I got this vest and batteries for walking the dog over the winter, only worn it once on the golf course though. Choice was 1 battery at 7500mh or 2 at 5000mh, 2 were cheaper.

Ideal for both to be honest, really warm and under £30.00 for both vest and 2 batteries, each battery kept vest on highest heat setting for over 2 hours.

When using playing Golf, it was just another layer, only really warm, no issue with it interfering with swing etc.

Great idea for Starters but I have my doubts for playing. Either not walking fast enough or conditions are such that golf shouldn't be being played.

Thermal long johns and thermal t-shirt do the job nicely under a polo and jumper in the winter.

Not a sexy look in the changing room afterwards though.

I have one, think it's a thermal heat one. Really impressed, don't get me wrong you don't feel burning hot but it does put heat in the right places and keeps the chill off. ????

My son gave me a £150 top-end model used by bikers. https://www.warmthru.com/battery-heated-vests-c102x3322064
I've used it several times this winter... 3 heat levels... the lowest has been sufficient & good for 6 to 8hrs. Brilliant for reducing the bulk that layers produce. I use just a thermal base, the vest + a Gillet top to retain the heat.

Looks a useful idea
I wonder if there's a gel pack version for sticking in the freezer to cool you down on a warner day

I think you and @Hobbit may need your own section to go and be smug together

Thanks everyone, sounds like its a goer, going to buy one for the wife as she really feels the -4 to 4 kind of temps and ends up like the Michelin man and still cold

I think if you can keep your core warm then you are most of the way there. I definitely find it the case, I sympathise with your wife. Sounds like a good buy
