Freezer Heated Vest
I initially saw the ewool heated vest at the Toronto Ski show. I'm male, 42 5'9" and 180lbs, and wear a large in all my upper body clothing. When the ewool rep. suggested a medium, I corrected him and said "I wear a large". "Trust me" the rep. replied, smiling. I tried on the suggested medium vest and zipped it up, I felt like I was being hugged by angels. It fit better than great, it fit superb. How can the medium fit so well? The 6" of additonal stretch is how. "Now the best part" said the rep. The heat was turned on. I couldn't believe how quickly the vest heated up, and uniform heat distribution. The temperature adjustment was very convenient. I recall thinking to myself, "this was far superior to the one I had at home." This was a brilliantly designed and functional heated vest that looks great. I liked the low profile fit, not bulky, and easily fits under a jacket, coveralls or a ski shell, and the near instant heat. I wanted one, and Christmas was coming. I took the sales persons card and gave it to my wife. Upon first opening my own vest, I instantly loved the slick packaging. Well thought out and attractive. The vest fit the exact same as the one I tried on at the show. I ordered 2x batteries with my vest. I intended to use it both for work and as a mid layer on cold snowboarding days. The vest works very well under my work coveralls and adjusting the temperature thru the coveralls is very easy. I have used the jacket for extended periods of time and have yet to run out of battery power while wearing it. Having the 2nd battery is a treat, guaranteed not to run out. When snowboarding, the vest fits great under my shell. I find on moderately cold to extreme cold is where I use the vest. Overall I've used my vest lots, its great for hiking, golf, and even on my motorcycle. The jacket can plug directly into any 12v power source eliminating the need for batteries. Mostly touring motorcycles have auxiliary 12v outlets. I can't say enough about the quality, the fit and the uniform heat. I love my vest, ewool you made a great product.
