Overview
Built for hunters who want adjustable warmth without adding unnecessary bulk, this heated vest is designed to deliver quick comfort when temperatures drop. It adds two more heating pads than the original Reactor Heated Vest and pairs that with Sorona Aura insulation for a lighter, less bulky feel while still helping retain warmth. The result is a practical layer for cold sits, early starts, and other situations where on-demand heat matters. Battery pack not included; works with the 7.4V Battery Pack.

- 20% lighter than the original Reactor Heated Vest

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Requires the 7.4V battery pack, which is not included, so it is not ready to use out of the box.
- Designed for quick warmth rather than all-day standalone insulation, so it may be best viewed as a layering piece or active-use vest.
- The added heating pads increase warmth, but the vest still depends on battery power for heated performance.
- The lighter, less bulky build may trade some of the heft and coverage hunters prefer in colder, stationary conditions.
