FAQs
1. What is a heated gilet or jacket?
A heated gilet or jacket is clothing with integrated heating panels powered by a rechargeable battery, designed to keep your core warm in cold UK weather.
2. How long does the battery last?
Battery life depends on usage and settings: up to 8–10 hours on low, around 4–6 hours on high. Battery capacity (e.g. 10,000mAh) also affects duration.
3. Are heated gilets safe to wear?
Yes. GOKOZY gilets include overheat protection, low-voltage components, and are UKCA-certified for consumer safety.
4. Can I wash a heated gilet?
Yes, but remove the battery first. Machine wash on a gentle cycle inside a laundry bag. Always follow care label instructions.
5. What is the difference between USB-powered and 7.4V heated gilets?
USB-powered vests use 5V power banks, while 7.4V gilets offer stronger heat and longer battery life with a dedicated lithium battery.
6. How many heating zones do GOKOZY gilets have?
Most models feature 4 to 9 heating zones targeting the chest, back, neck, and sometimes shoulders for all-around warmth.
7. Can I wear the gilet under a coat or outer layer?
Absolutely. GOKOZY heated gilets are lightweight and designed for layering, making them ideal under jackets or waterproof shells.
8. Do I need a special battery for my heated vest?
Use only GOKOZY-approved batteries for 7.4V models. USB-powered vests can use any 5V/2A power bank with a Type-A port.
9. What size should I choose?
Refer to our UK size chart. If layering over thick clothing, consider sizing up for a comfortable fit.
10. Are heated gilets suitable for people with health conditions?
Generally yes, but consult a doctor if you have medical implants (like a pacemaker) or sensitive skin conditions.
