Smart Fabrics Heated Clothing from Gerbing, a company based out of Seattle focuses on bringing you a warm feeling in the coldest times of the year to their customers with high tech heated clothing.Their collection of heated clothing technologies ranges from the more ‘conventional’ textile heating systems like insulated copper wires to Micro Wires and Nano Wire heat technology to high tech smart fabrics like Carbon Fiber Heat Technology.
A product that uses the Carbon Fiber technology is the LITE HEATED VEST LINER. As the name implies, it is a light weight vest that radiates a comfy temperature and can be worn under an outer jacket.
The Heated Vest is powered by a 7.4v lithium battery pack which gives 4 hours of heat on the highest setting or over 10 hours on the lowest setting.
Another ‘warming’ factor is the low cost of this vest, it comes for just $ 99.- including the battery pack and the charger. Available directly from Gerbing.
If you are in need for getting some additional heat when outdoors, you might want to check out Gerbing’s full system that let the wearer connect the different elements like jackets, pants, gloves and socks (all heated) via their standardized interconnection system – a smart idea that keeps you warm even if you have to be right in the center of the Arctic.
As we mentioned in our previous review of heated clothing, ‘heated’ does not mean you will fry in your heated clothing, it will give up a controllable and comfortable amount of warmth. That’s why we call such fabrics also ’smart textiles’

Gerbing must be the same company who makes the heated clothing for the Seattle Seahawks. I know that Josh Brown wore some heated pants for a game in Green Bay a few years ago. I guess now that all of the kickers in the NFL are wearing heated pants for cold weather games. I wonder if they make the hand muffs the players are wearing as well.
I have tried several products from exo2 and really liked them. I have the heated gloves that I use on my cool weather motorcycle rides.
This is exactly why there are different excellent products on the market. Each of us has different needs and tastes. I got my own taste of heated gears, i like there design’s, its pretty amazing and safe to use, buy it on the shopping net 3 months ago..
