Overview
Built for hunters who want adjustable warmth without unnecessary bulk, this vest adds extra heating pads to the BE:1 heated lineup for more coverage when temperatures drop. The Sorona Aura insulation is designed to provide warmth with less filling and weight, helping keep the vest lighter and less bulky than the original version. It is a practical layer for early starts, cold sits, and other situations where quick heat matters. Battery pack sold separately.
