Nevercold Aspen is an efficient and versatile high-collar thermal vest. Its four thin heating elements distribute the heat evenly to both the chest and back.
The Aspen thermal vest has a multi-layer construction that ensures the best possible performance in all conditions. The outermost layer of the vest is a microfleece fabric made of polyester, with a wind insulation film underneath. The inner layer is a mesh lining. The thin and inconspicuous heating elements made of red microfiber fabric are placed between the mesh lining and the wind insulation membrane, i.e. as close as possible to the user's body to minimize heat loss.
The Nevercold thermal vest gets its energy from a small but efficient lithium-ion battery, which has its own inconspicuous place in the vest's battery pocket. The battery is charged with the mains charger that comes with the vest or with the car charger available as an accessory. The Aspen vest has two battery pockets. By getting an additional battery, you can use two batteries at the same time, which doubles the operating time of the vest.
The thermal vest has a three-stage temperature control. The heating intensity is selected with the push button on the left chest of the vest. The color of the light on the push button indicates the selected heating intensity. At full power, the temperature of the heating elements is 52 °C and the battery life is about 2 hours. At the lowest power, the temperature of the heating elements is 38 °C and the battery life is about 5 hours. If you use two batteries at the same time, the battery life at full power is about 4 hours and at the lowest power about 10 hours. The heating can be turned off completely at the push of a button when it is not needed.
The thermal vest's heating properties are at their best when worn directly over the underwear layer. In this case, the heating elements are as close as possible to the body. The vest should also have a tight fit so that there is not too much of an air layer between the body and the vest. Too much looseness of the vest reduces the feeling of warmth experienced by the user.
The thermal vest can also be used to dry an undershirt that gets wet when sweating, without having to take off the shirt from time to time. About half an hour of heating at full power is usually enough to dry the shirt.
