S549: Ultrasonic Heated Tunnel Vest Gilet The S549 Heated Tunnel Vest is the ultimate solution for those who refuse to let the cold slow them down. This isn't just a padded vest; it features integrated carbon fibre heated panels powered by a rechargeable battery, allowing you to manually control your core temperature with the touch of a button. Whether you're in a cold warehouse or out on a site at 6 AM, this vest provides active warmth where you need it most. Why we’d actually wear these: Active Heating: Features three heat settings controlled by a discreet chest button, providing between 3 to 10 hours of warmth depending on your environment. Innovative "Tunnel" Construction: Uses heat-sealed baffle fabric instead of traditional stitching. This eliminates needle holes, significantly increasing wind and water resistance. High-Efficiency Insulation: Even with the power off, the InsulatexPro lining and 260g filling offer superior heat retention without the bulky weight of traditional winter gear. Weather Ready: Treated with Texpel™ Splash Eco, a PFAS-free finish that causes water to bead off the surface, keeping you dry in light Hawke’s Bay drizzle. Tech Friendly: Includes a concealed mobile phone pocket and a durable, easy-to-load battery pack that charges via standard Micro USB. Rechargeable battery and cable are included. Tested in the Hawke’s Bay elements. Available for local pickup in Napier or fast NZ-wide shipping.
