Heated Workwear for Cold Conditions

What Is Heated Workwear?

Layers are the key to keeping warm in cold conditions but choosing the right layers is crucial. Heated workwear offers the same insulating and moisture-wicking benefits as traditional workwear with the added benefit of Mobile Warming technology. 

Fieldsheer’s heated workwear does more than just protect you from the elements—it works actively to keep you safe and comfortable. Targeted heat zones warm your back and core, with multiple levels of adjustment to provide customizable comfort for hours on end. This category includes a wide range of practical pieces including jackets, vests, hoodies, shorts, and pants. You’ll also find must-have accessories like heated socks and insoles, gloves, and more.

How Long Does Heated Workwear Stay Warm? 

How long heated workwear stays warm depends on numerous factors, not the least of which is the quality of the product. Premium materials combined with a strong battery can provide consistent heat for up to a full work day. 

Here are some things to keep in mind with heated workwear:

• Heated workwear typically utilizes rechargeable lithium-ion batteries to power conductive threads in target heat zones.
• Starting the day with a fully-charged battery is the best way to maximize the warming period (you can even bring spare batteries with you).
• Using heated workwear on the lowest setting will help preserve battery life—higher heat levels will drain the battery faster.

Heated jackets and vests generally provide at least 6-10 hours of heat on the lowest setting (sometimes as high as 13 hours). You should get 4-8 hours of battery life on medium heat settings and up to 4 hours on the highest setting.

What Are the Best Uses for Heated Workwear? 

Designed for long-lasting durability and reliable performance, heated workwear is ideal for any kind of outdoor work. From construction to landscaping, heated apparel provides the gentle warmth you need to get the job done without bulky layers. Outside of professional applications, heated workwear is also a great choice for rugged outdoor activities like hunting and hiking. You may even appreciate the warmth of a heated vest while taking winter walks with the family dog.

Is Heated Workwear Safe?

Yes, heated workwear is designed with safety in mind. All Fieldsheer heated jackets and vests run on 7.4v lithium-ion batteries to deliver gentle warmth without overheating. Heated socks run on smaller 3.7v batteries which are lightly contoured for comfortable wear against your calf.

Many Fieldsheer heated workwear solutions also utilize Zapsheer fabric technology for enhanced safety by reducing static cling and minimizing the risk of sparks. And to give you even greater peace of mind, all Fieldsheer Mobile Warming heated apparel comes with a one year warranty.

Can I Wash Heated Workwear? 

Yes, you can wash heated workwear but recommendations vary from one garment to another. It’s best to check the care instructions that come with your heated workwear before laundering the garment.

The most important thing to remember when washing heated workwear is to remove the battery first. If the garment comes with a protective cap for the power connection, put it on after removing the battery to keep the electrical components from getting wet.
