Like any outdoor apparel, the material is important. The first question to ask yourself when looking at materials is how you will use the clothing. Will you use it for extra warmth while running, cycling, climbing, or hiking? Or are you looking for an extra layer to wear at sporting events or for running errands, walking the dog, or yard work? For high-output activities, look for synthetic materials and insulations such as polyester or nylon. If lower-output activities are your main reason for getting a heated vest, synthetics or natural fibers such as cotton will work. As for insulation, that’s less likely to be important in a heated vest unless you’re looking for a vest to wear both heated and not heated. Otherwise, if you'll be wearing the vest for high-output activities such as running or cycling, a lower-profile non-insulated vest might be best.
