Heated clothing for outdoor work: a practical guide

Heated clothing for outdoor work in Ireland

Outdoor work in winter often means cold mornings, wet conditions and long periods without a warm break. Heated clothing can support comfort for people working in construction, landscaping, delivery, farming, maintenance, markets and field service.

Why a heated vest is useful at work

A heated vest warms the core while keeping the arms free. It can be worn under a work jacket or waterproof shell and adjusted throughout the day as conditions change.

Choosing the right setup

Moving all day: choose a slim vest and lower heat setting.
Standing still: use a warmer setting and windproof outer layer.
Wet weather: keep the heated layer protected under waterproof clothing.
Long shifts: bring a spare charged powerbank.

Safety and care

Heated clothing should not replace required PPE or high-visibility workwear. Use it as a comfort layer under the correct protective clothing for the job.

So the heater can be turned off

So I thought heated vests were much more expensive, but thankfully, thanks to you, that's not the case. It's very comfortable and heats up quickly. I recommend this product to anyone who spends all day outside in the cold. I should have bought it thirty years ago.

I had problems with the delivery

I had problems with the delivery, so I contacted them. A new one was sent immediately, and it's arrived now. It warms up quickly, and the extra patches are perfect! This will get me through the winter! I had problems with the delivery, so I contacted them. A new one was sent immediately, and it's arrived now....

Nice warm body warmer

The bodywarmer looks great and is nice and warm. Unfortunately, it's too tight, but I sent an email and it's being exchanged for a larger size. Excellent service. So nice and warm all winter long.

More effective than turning the heating up a degree

I bought the Høgge body warmer for both me and my husband. It's been the best purchase for keeping us nice and warm. Whether it's walking, gardening, or just because you're feeling cold, this fantastic body warmer solves all of that. Highly recommended and more effective than turning up the heat.

An Ode to Gløde!

After the Øney from Gløde, which is super comfortable for outdoor riding lessons, I've now also tried their bodywarmer for indoor riding, and it's fantastic too! The elastic sides ensure a perfect fit and allow for plenty of freedom of movement. The control panels are on the outside, making it very easy to adjust the temperature on the go. When riding warm and relaxed, it's very pleasant to have the heater on. After the Øney from Gløde, which is super comfortable for outdoor riding lessons, I've now also tried their bodywarmer for...

Very happy with the bodywarmer

I'm very happy with the body warmer; it's easy and chic to wear over my sweater, but it also works under a jacket. I'm very happy with it.
