Feature Details

• Ideal for growing kids who need an adjustable fit as they grow, or who need to adjust the fit to accommodate base layers or outerwear, a large hook-and-loop front closure and stretch rib side panels allow for easy fit adjustment.

FAQs

How should I choose the right size?

The vest has a regular, hip-length fit with unisex sizing for both boys and girls. Compare your child’s measurements with the size chart and consider the layers they will wear underneath. The hook-and-loop front closure and stretch rib side panels provide additional fit adjustment. 

 

What is the dual-source system and how does it help?

The dual-source system allows two batteries to be connected at once, providing up to 19 hours of warmth (second battery purchased separately). The extended runtime is useful for longer school days, family outings, and other extended time away from home. And if you’re using just one battery, you can choose which pocket to place it in for maximum comfort.
