Engineered for rapid thermal response, the Gerbing 12V Heated Core Riding Vest utilizes four-way stretch softshell fabric paired with patented Microwire™ heating technology to deliver warmth in seconds. The garment features four distinct heating zones—two on the chest, one on the back, and one on the neck—managed by a battery-integrated temperature controller. This system provides up to eight hours of continuous heat, making it suitable as a mid-layer or outerwear piece for extended cold-weather activities.
Durability and comfort are achieved through a water-repellent finish with a DWR coating that repels snow and rain, ensuring performance in wet conditions. The softshell exterior is bonded to a fleece lining, creating a breathable, flexible, and durable construction with an excellent next-to-skin feel. The package includes a 7V 3400 mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack (25.16Wh), a wall charger, and detailed instructions, all backed by a Gerbing lifetime warranty.
