Heated vest or heated jacket: which is right for you?
A heated vest and a heated jacket both add active warmth, but they suit different situations. The right choice depends on how much coverage you want, how much movement you need and whether you already have a good outer jacket.
Choose a heated vest if...
- You want a flexible mid layer.
- You need free arm movement for work, riding, fishing or hiking.
- You already own a waterproof or windproof outer jacket.
- You want a lighter first heated garment.
Choose a heated jacket if...
- You want warmth in the arms as well as the core.
- You spend long periods outside in very cold weather.
- You prefer one warmer outer layer instead of several layers.
Best Irish setup
For changeable Irish weather, many people prefer a heated vest under a rain jacket. For long outdoor workdays, a heated jacket can be more comfortable.
