Overview
Built for hunters who want adaptable warmth without extra bulk, this heated vest adds more heating coverage than the original Reactor design while keeping the profile lighter and less bulky. The Sorona Aura insulation is intended to balance breathability with warmth, making it a practical layer for cold mornings, glassing sessions, or sitting still in camp. It works with the 7.4V battery pack, which is not included, so it fits into an existing heated-layer setup rather than standing alone.
