    1. For heated vests the key is getting a snug fit. They all work better if they are in contact with your body. If there is much space between the vest and and you then you will not get the full benefit of the heating elements. You may need to down-size to get a good fit..........I did. I've been very happy with my Hecusma Heated Vest for Men with Battery Pack 16000mAh 7.4V that I got off Amazon. It still works great after 3 years, and the battery will last a full day of shooting.
    2. Look for the highest mAh rating you can find. This will give you the longest use before needing a recharge.
    3. The other thing to look for in a heated vest is that you want the controls to be on the left side if you are a right handed shooter and visa-versa for leftys. I had a friend that bought a heated vest with the controls on the right side, and he would accidentally change the settings many times just shooting the gun, because the butt stock would hit the buttons.
