Heated vests

[orion612004]

I have some work coming up later this month off Block and I am looking into heated vests. For those that have heated vests, which one? Thoughts?

I’m quite happy with my Thermolution vest, as it has a wireless controller on my wrist with 3 modes. I’d say it lasts in the 3 to 5 hour range.

That is the one I am currently looking at. Which model do you have? Does the wireless controller work well? Are there any external components aside from the controller? What undergarments are you using?

I have this one: Thermalution.com

You only have the vest and the controller. No other parts.

Are you diving wet or dry?

Kosta, do find available real estate being short with having the controller and PDC's on your wrist or do you place the controller in the bicep area?

I don’t have an issue with real estate on my arm. On my right I have my Shearwater Perdix (with cutter case/eezycut), the Thermalution controller, and a compass.

I've used a few and now use the SANTI vest.

Quite a few others have the thermulation and just store the fob in their dry suit pocket.

The only time I've ever encountered a heated vest it was on a buddy I was diving with off the Channel Islands. He received minor burns from it. I don't remember the make, etc.

Merry uses the Thermolution as does our friend Margaret Webb. Margaret uses her in a wetsuit during lobster season. At God's Pocket there were several divers using the same model.
