Gerbing's Thermite fleece program is composed of a deep, soft pile obtained by heavily napping with wire brushes. It is a two-sided pile fleece, which provides air space giving good insulating properties without too much weight. A lightweight, warm, soft fabric, with hydrophobic attributes and holds less than 1% of its weight in water. It retains much of its insulating properties, even when wet. Unlike other synthetic fleece, polyester fleece is known for its ability to resist pilling, even after extended use. To update the fleece, we developed a honeycomb structure to give the fabric a more unique look, while maintaining functionality.
Gerbing Thermite 2.0 Fleece Vest Features:
- Four Microwire heating zones: Chest (2), Back (1) & Neck (1)
- Exceptional warmth with lofted anti-pill fleece composition
- 135° F Maximum heat
- Core fibers help conserve heat and wick moisture away from the body
- Heats for hours
- Hydrophobic properties hold less than 1% of its weight in water
- Ideal mid-layer or outerwear piece
- Comfortable & Stylish Fit
- Battery Integrated Temperature Controller
The battery has 4 heat settings as indicated by lights and Heat Times:
- 100% (4 red/blue lights) - 2 Hours
- 75% (3 red/blue lights) - 3 Hours
- 50% (2 red/blue lights) - 5 Hours

Charging Battery: (We recommend charging overnight for the first charge.)

Nice but need extra battery
January 15, 2024
Purchased from Dick’s Sporting Goods for 149.00 for golf and motorcycle. I have not had any other vest to compare. Vest ordered was 2X as that is the size I wear for shirts. I like the fleece material instead of the puffy vinyl. Vest is light and thin enough to easily wear under a jacket. Enough room to comfortably swing a golf club. Zippers and material all appear to be quality. I charged the battery overnight as directed. I wore the vest all day doing errands. It does heat up fast, and I set it at 75%. The battery life was about 3 hrs which under performed what I expected. The heat from the vest was comfortable, but not overly impressive at this setting. I don’t believe 50% or less would be useful. The directions warn against 100% too long, but that seems like more of a liability issue than reality. I haven’t used it to ride with or play golf yet. However, I will order a 2nd battery as the charge life is not impressive. The heated collar is a nice feature and the look, feel and comfort made my decision to keep it. I had initially purchased an Ororo heated vest but after exchanging a 2X for a 3X with seemingly no difference in size I opted for the Gerbing. However, I never tested the battery life on the Ororo. My only recommendation is to purchase 2 batteries and I think it will perform as described
Pros
- Looks good, comfort.
Cons
- Not as a hot as expected
- Battery does not perform as described

Great fit and very warm. Battery seems to last a long time. Warming zones in all the right spots for long outdoor activities
Only downside, and it’s minor, is adjusting the setting is a bit difficult to get into the pocket to reach the controller. Especially if it’s under other clothing.

Pros
- Good fit, warm and heats up fast
Cons
- Battery/controller could be easier to access or have heat level settings on the chest

It's warm w/o a jacket over it. And it's really warm, set only on 1 with a jacket over it. I was thrilled that it fit so well, seeing as I'm 6'6".

Wonderful vest .
I bought several of these for all family members and they loved them and cannot stop raving about how warm they are .
I would buy an extra battery so they stay charged all the time . We work outside with cows and horses all winter in Colorado .These were a game changer.
