Riding with heated gear just got a whole lot easier with the Gerbing Khione 2.0 puffer vest, which uses a small battery stored in the pocket to power 4 Microwire heating zones.
Of course this black puffer vest is going to keep you warm even without plugging it in. But with the 7-volt lithium ion battery hooked up and securely stored in a zippered compartment within the left warmer pocket, this thing goes off.
The battery has a built-in controller to toggle between four heat levels, which promise between 2-8 hours of heat.
In addition to a back panel and two chest panels, this vest also offers the appreciated back-of-the-neck heated panel—killing chilly backdrafts before they stand a chance.
This water-resistant and windproof vest combines powerful performance with popular style. Constructed with 200-fill synthetic down this puffer is designed to be close-fitting for added warmth.
