I joke with my spouse that she got me a $700 bill for my b-day as being a non-diver she didn't get me a batter pack with everything
So the battery pack was about 700 but it's 11.5 mah and will run the whole system for 2hrs or so. The vest, gloves and wet connector/port is about 1200.
The vest fit is really sweet, it's 200g thinsulate so it's actually pretty warm even when off. It has a crotch strap so it stays put. Don't find it bulky at all and when it's on it provides a lot of heat.
Routing the cable for the vest is really simple.
As for the gloves, they are far less bulky than I imagined but I did have to go back to proper blue dry gloves (as opposed to the Canadian tire cheapies I like but are a size or two smaller).
Running the cables for the gloves is a pain in the butt though, will take some getting used to but I definitely feel like electro from the running man when all is said and done. Having all those wires next to the p-valve also made me a little nervous but I like to live dangerously. I think I'd save the gloves for serious stuff and primarily use the vest as it's very quick and simple to rig up.
As for the battery pack, it's an external canister that I clip to my rig (side mount so I just have secured to the small of my back). Cable routes from behind up to the connector on the drysuit inflator.
Hope that helps!
