The Custom Heated Softshell Jacket combines advanced wearable heating technology with the dependable protection of a work jacket. This garment is designed to keep workers warm and productive in freezing temperatures, making it ideal for extreme cold working environments such as winter construction sites, cold storage warehouses, or outdoor maintenance jobs in harsh climates. At its core are integrated heating elements that run on a portable battery, delivering warmth at the push of a button. As a product of BOWINS Garment’s OEM expertise, this jacket can be tailored to your exact specifications – from heating zone layout to exterior color and logos.
Even without the heating turned on, the jacket functions as a high-quality softshell – it’s windproof, sheds light rain and snow, and is lined with fleece to provide insulation and comfort. When conditions turn icy, simply activate the heating system to enjoy hours of additional warmth directly to your upper body.
Our heated jacket uses ultra-thin carbon fiber heating elements (with the option for graphene heating technology in custom orders) sewn securely into key areas of the jacket. Typical configurations include three to five heating zones – for example, two panels on the chest, one large panel across the upper back, and additional zones in the collar or pockets if desired. These elements heat up within seconds to chase away the cold, reaching temperatures of approximately 40°C to 60°C (104°F–140°F) depending on the setting. The heating panels are flexible and light, so you barely notice them when wearing the jacket, and they are strategically placed to maximize core warmth without hindering movement. All heating technology is designed with safety in mind: the elements operate on low voltage and are insulated to prevent hot spots, ensuring even heat distribution and reliable performance over thousands of use cycles.
Powering the heating system is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack that comes with the jacket. The battery is typically housed in an inside pocket towards the side or back of the jacket, so it stays out of your way and maintains good weight balance. We offer flexibility with battery options – a standard 5V USB power bank can be used (advantageous because it’s easily replaceable and can charge your phone too), or an upgraded 7.4V battery for higher heat output and longer runtime. Depending on capacity (commonly 5,000–10,000 mAh), you can expect anywhere from 3–4 hours of heat on high setting up to 8–10 hours on low setting. For specialized applications, we can even design the jacket to accept a 12V power source (for example, plugging into equipment or vehicle power) to keep the heat running indefinitely. The battery connection is secured with waterproof connectors, and the pocket placement can be adjusted during customization – some clients prefer a back kidney pocket for the battery to further keep it out of the way.
Operating the jacket’s heating system is straightforward and user-friendly. On the chest of the jacket (or another easily accessible area), we integrate a durable rubberized power button with an LED indicator. A quick press turns the heating on and cycles through heat levels, which are color-coded (for instance, red for high, white for medium, blue for low) so you can tell at a glance what setting is active. The button is designed to be easily pressed even with gloves on and is water-resistant to handle snow or rain. For those looking for high-tech control, we offer the option of a Bluetooth-enabled module that links to a smartphone app – this allows users to fine-tune the temperature, check remaining battery life, or even set automatic timers via their phone. Whether using the on-board button or an app, the controls are intuitive, ensuring that workers can adjust their warmth without interrupting their tasks.
Despite the electronic components, this heated softshell jacket is built for real-world work conditions, including the ability to be cleaned. All heating elements and wiring are designed to be flexible and waterproof, embedded between the outer shell and lining. This means the jacket can be machine washed on a gentle cycle once the detachable battery is removed (we recommend air drying to prolong its life). Our design follows rigorous safety standards: the heating system and battery pack come with CE, RoHS, and FCC certifications, indicating compliance with European and North American safety regulations for electronic devices. The jacket includes safeguards like automatic shut-off to prevent overheating and short-circuit protection within the battery controller. With its low-voltage DC power, it’s safe to wear in damp conditions – the electrical connectors are shielded, and the circuitry is engineered to eliminate any risk of shock. These jackets have been tested to ensure they maintain their heating performance and structural integrity through many wash cycles and winter seasons, giving you confidence in their durability and safety.
The Custom Heated Softshell Jacket is engineered to help personnel withstand extreme cold working environments. In severe cold (as low as -20°C, or -4°F, and below), wearing this heated jacket can dramatically improve comfort and reduce cold stress, especially when used in combination with proper base layers and hats. On the highest heat setting, the jacket effectively keeps core body temperatures stable for hours in sub-zero conditions, which is crucial for workers in freezers or outdoors in winter storms. For moderate cold (around -5 to +5°C), lower heat settings provide gentle warmth that extends the battery life through a full work shift, ensuring energy-efficient operation. Even when the heating is turned off or if the battery runs out, the jacket’s insulating fleece and windbreaking shell continue to provide a baseline of protection against the cold. This adaptability means the garment isn’t just for extreme conditions; it can comfortably be worn across a range of cold weather scenarios, adjusting to the needs of the moment. By keeping workers warm without bulky layering, the heated jacket helps maintain mobility and focus, ultimately supporting productivity and safety in cold climates.
