Yes, heated jackets are safe to wear. ActionHeat jackets use low-voltage rechargeable batteries and flexible carbon fiber heating elements that are tested to U.S. safety standards. Built-in temperature controls and automatic shut-off features ensure reliable warmth during cold and even wet weather.
Yes, heated jackets are worth it if you spend time outdoors in cold weather. Unlike regular winter coats that only trap body heat, heated jackets actively generate warmth with rechargeable batteries and built-in heating elements. This means you stay comfortable longer, wear fewer bulky layers, and can adjust the heat level to match your activity. For workers, athletes, and anyone who hates being cold, a heated jacket offers reliable comfort and long-term value.
Heated jackets work by using thin, flexible heating elements—often made of carbon fiber or steel plates—built into the lining of the jacket. These elements are powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack that connects through a small cable. When turned on, the elements generate warmth across key areas like the chest and back, helping your core stay warm. Most heated jackets, including ActionHeat, feature multiple heat settings so you can adjust the level of warmth with the press of a button. This technology delivers consistent heat, reduces the need for bulky layers, and keeps you comfortable in cold weather.
Yes, you can bring a heated jacket on a plane. Heated jackets themselves are allowed in both checked luggage and carry-ons. The only restriction is the rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack. According to TSA guidelines, spare batteries must be packed in your carry-on bag, not checked luggage. If the battery is installed in the jacket, it’s usually fine, but most travelers remove it and keep it in their carry-on for easy screening. Always check your airline’s specific rules, but in general, traveling with a heated jacket is safe and permitted.
To wash a heated jacket, always remove the battery pack first and make sure the power cords are secured. Most heated jackets, including ActionHeat, are machine washable on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, or harsh detergents, and never wring out the jacket. For best results, air dry flat—do not tumble dry or dry clean. Following these steps will keep the heating elements protected and your jacket working season after season.
Yes, you can wear a heated jacket to an NFL game, and it’s one of the easiest ways to stay warm during chilly match ups. Heated jackets are battery-powered and safe for use in the stands, but some stadiums may have restrictions on electronic devices or battery packs. For that reason, it’s best to check your team’s stadium guidelines before game day. When permitted, a heated jacket keeps fans comfortable from kickoff through the final whistle.
ActionHeat's vest has a setting called Ghost Mode. This feature allows you to switch on the heated settings without turning on the LED light. This is perfect for those who want to stay hidden while generating warmth. For example, people hunting may want to use Ghost Mode to stay undetected.
