Overview
Built for hunters who want adjustable warmth without extra bulk, this heated vest adds more heating pads than the original Reactor design while staying streamlined for layering. The Sorona Aura insulation is described as lighter and less bulky, with added breathability and warmth retention that make it a practical choice for cold sits, early starts, or changing conditions in the field. It is designed to work with the 7.4V battery pack, which is not included, so it fits best as part of an existing heated layering setup.
