Overview
Built for hunters who want adjustable warmth without adding unnecessary bulk, this heated vest is designed to deliver quick comfort in cold conditions. It adds two more heating pads than the original Reactor Heated Vest, while Sorona Aura insulation is used to improve breathability and reduce fill and weight. The result is a lighter, less bulky layer that fits well as part of a cold-weather kit. It works with the 7.4V Battery Pack, which is not included.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Requires the 7.4V Battery Pack, which is not included, so it is an added purchase to use the heated function.
- Built for quick warmth rather than a standalone cold-weather system, so it may be best as a layering piece or part of a larger setup.
- The lighter, less bulky design comes from reduced filling, which can mean less insulation mass than a heavier vest when the heat is not in use.
