It is a two-sided pile fleece, which provides air space giving good insulating properties without too much weight. A lightweight, warm, soft fabric, with hydrophobic attributes and holds less than 1% of its weight in water. It retains much of its insulating properties, even when wet. Unlike other synthetic fleece, polyester fleece is known for its ability to resist pilling, even after extended use. To update the fleece, we developed a honeycomb structure to give the fabric a more unique look, while maintaining functionality.Gerbing Thermite 2.0 Fleece Vest Features: Four Microwire heating zones: Chest (2), Back (1) & Neck (1)Exceptional warmth with lofted anti-pill fleece composition135° F Maximum heatCore fibers help conserve heat and wick moisture away from the bodyHeats for hoursHydrophobic properties hold less than 1% of its weight in waterIdeal mid-layer or outerwear pieceComfortable & Stylish FitBattery Integrated Temperature ControllerThe battery has 4 heat settings as indicated by lights and Heat Times: 100% (4 red/blue lights) - 2 Hours75% (3 red/blue lights) - 3 Hours50% (2 red/blue lights) - 5 Hours25% (1 red/blue lights) - 8 Hours Charging Battery: (We recommend charging overnight for the first charge.)Charge 100% before use (a full charge takes about 3 hours).A red light will appear on the wall charger when charging.The red light will change to green when charged.Maintain at least 25% power when the battery is not in use.
