Heat the person, not the house. The Kilnwear 9-Zone Heated Vest puts warmth right at your core: across your collar, shoulders, spine, lower back and both front pockets. It's slim enough to wear under a jacket, and it runs on any standard USB power bank.
- 9 heating panels: collar, shoulders, spine, lower back and front pockets
- 3 heat levels from one button on the chest
- Powered by any USB power bank (power bank sold separately or in the kit)
- Lightweight, quilted shell with a stand-up collar
- Hand or gentle machine wash after removing the power bank
Fit: cut snug so the panels sit close to your body. Between sizes, or wearing a hoodie underneath? Size up.
Shipping: free tracked shipping, usually 6 to 12 business days.
Why it works
Layers trap heat. They can't make it.
A coat only holds in the heat your body produces. Stand still on the sidelines, at the bus stop or on a job site, and your body makes less of it every minute.
Kilnwear adds heat instead. Nine heating panels warm your core and your hands, right where you lose heat first.
- CollarSeals in warmth where cold air sneaks in first
- Shoulders and spineFour panels of steady heat across your upper back
- Lower backTwo panels where long, still hours hurt most
- Front pocketsTwo panels behind the pockets, so your hands warm up too
- 3 heat levelsLow, medium or high, from one button on the chest
How it compares
Same warmth. Half the price of the big brands.
Most heated vests lose people the same way: no battery in the box, a battery only one brand makes, or a price tag over $150.

How it works
Warm in three steps
Plug in
Connect a USB power bank to the cable in the inside pocket and zip it in.
Press the button
Press and hold the button on the chest to switch it on. The panels start warming right away.
Pick your heat
Tap to switch between low, medium and high. Low lasts longest on a charge.
Made for the cold moments
Wherever you stand still in the cold
The sidelines
7am games, hockey rinks and Friday night football, without a blanket.
Outdoor work
Job sites, deliveries and unheated shops. Arms stay free to work.
Dog walks and commutes
Bus stops, school runs and dark morning walks.
The cold office
Fits under a sweater or blazer. Heat the person, not the whole building.
Hunting and fishing
Long, still sits where you can't move to warm up.
Power outages
Runs from a power bank, so it works when the furnace doesn't.

Questions
Before you order
Does it come with a power bank?
Choose "Vest + power bank" or the gift set and a 10,000mAh power bank is included. The "Vest only" option works with any standard USB power bank you already have.
How long does the heat last?
It depends on the heat level, the power bank and the weather. Low lasts the longest, and a bigger power bank runs longer than a small one.
Can I use my own power bank?
Yes. The vest plugs into a standard USB-A port, the same as most phone power banks. If yours dies mid-winter, any other one works.
How do I wash it?
Unplug and remove the power bank, then hand wash or use a gentle machine cycle in a laundry bag. Hang to dry. Don't tumble dry, iron or dry clean.
Is it safe?
The vest runs on 5V USB power, the same low voltage that charges a phone. Keep the power bank in the zipped pocket and unplug it when the vest isn't in use.
How long does shipping take?
Orders ship free with tracking and usually arrive in 6 to 12 business days. You'll get a tracking link by email once your order ships.
What if it doesn't fit?
Email us and we'll exchange it for another size once, free. Not warm enough or not right for you? Return it within 90 days of delivery for a refund.
