What Are Heated Hi Vis Jackets?
Heated hi vis jackets—sometimes called heated safety vests or reflective heated jackets—are a game-changer for anyone working or playing outside in the cold. These jackets mix high-visibility features (like neon colors and reflective strips) with battery-powered heating systems. They’re made to keep you seen and warm, no matter the weather.Ideal for construction workers, road crews, or pet owners
Why Do You Need One?
If you’re outside a lot, you know how tough winter can be. Regular hi vis vests or jackets keep you visible, but they don’t fight the chill. A heated hi vis jacket does both. It’s perfect for construction workers, road crews, pet owners walking at night, or anyone who wants comfort without piling on layers.
What Are They Made Of?
Most heated hi vis jackets use tough materials like polyester or nylon. They’re often water-resistant to handle rain or snow. Inside, you’ll find heating panels—usually carbon fiber or thin wires—that warm up when powered by a rechargeable battery. The outside stays bright with colors like yellow or orange, plus reflective tape for extra visibility.
How Do They Work?
It’s pretty simple! A small battery (usually tucked in a pocket) powers the heating panels. Push a button, and the heat kicks in—sometimes in under a minute. You can pick low, medium, or high settings to match the weather. Some even heat specific spots like your chest, back, or neck. Batteries can last 6-10 hours, depending on the model.

International Standards
Safety matters! Look for jackets that follow rules like EN ISO 20471 (for high-visibility clothing) or ANSI/ISEA 107 (common in the U.S.). These standards ensure the jacket’s bright enough to keep you seen in low light or bad weather.

About Heating Element
If you’ve ever wondered what keeps heated hi vis jackets warm, it’s all thanks to the heating element. This is the electric part inside the jacket that makes the magic happen! Usually, it’s made of carbon fiber—a super thin, bendy material that heats up when electricity runs through it. Some jackets use conductive threads instead, which work the same way but feel more like fabric.
These heating elements are sewn or woven into the jacket, often in spots like the chest or back. They’re powered by a small rechargeable battery, like the kind you charge with a USB cord. When you press the jacket’s button, the battery sends power to the elements, and they warm up fast—sometimes in under a minute! You can usually pick low, medium, or high heat, depending on how cold it is outside.
The cool part? These elements are lightweight and tough, so the jacket still feels comfy and lasts a long time. That’s what makes heated hi vis jackets perfect for staying warm and safe on chilly days!
