Heated Vest......

[BHC]

Anyone own one and which brand would be the most reliable?

[JHbowhunter]

I got mine off Amazon there are dozens of choices. Make sure it’s tight fitting you want as your first layer over long johns. Has to be form firing to work best.  Amazing how you can get away with wearing far less - after an hour in stand on a cold morning just push the button and it warms your core both sides.  Game changer. I forget brand I have - just read reviews.  Some come with proper usb charged battery pack some you supply your own.

Check out the warming store online. They have a couple different brands. The brand I have is a Gerbing. I have been using it 6 or 7 years. One of the best hunting investments I made.

Its nice if you can get the battery unit with remote. The battery sits in vest's packet and the vest is your base layer so turning it on or changing setting can me a pain with few layers on.;

The cloths are right for you and everyone has their own right. I bough the boots you recommended, you said your feet will never get cold, and I had to use toe warmers. Great boots I will still use them but you don't sit long enough to get cold or you just don't get cold like the rest of us.

+1 on these. My wife got me one a couple years ago and it is a total game changer.  Very light and comfortable, and most importantly, WARM.
