“I bought two men’s heated vests. One is for my husband, and the other is for my father. Both vests use different clothing materials to enhance warmth and comfort.”

Heated vests emerge to meet the demands for staying warm in cold temperature without the need for cold temperature. It features a few awesome things: high-quality heating elements, an adjustable heating setting, a reliable battery, the functional shell, the ultra-thermal inner layer, and other considerate designs.

The heated vest depends on the heating system to automatically generate heat. Although the battery is run out of power, the soft inner layer of heated vests still can keep the body toasty. The inner layer is typically made of a specific material, and there are 3 commonly used materials: polyester, fleece, and down. In the following, we will introduce the features and differences of these materials in detail.

Polyester

Polyester, one of the synthetic materials, is widely used in modern clothing thanks to its durability, moisture resistance, wrinkle resistance, and low cost. Typically, polyester is stronger than other natural fabrics, which not only can retain its original shape after repeatedly washing but also withstand harsh outdoor environments. Also, polyester is water-resistant but it’s not water-proof. It means this fabric can allow you to get caught in light rain without too many worries.

Fleece

Fleece is known as a soft, breathable, and warm synthetic fabric, usually made in winter clothing to combat freezing. When comes to the fleece fabric, the most awesome feature is softness. And most people prefer to wear fleece clothing because the softness makes them feel incredibly comfortable and cozy. Also, the fleece is considered to be breathable but the breathability cannot compete with some natural fabrics like cotton. On the other side, the fleece may be easy to pill and lose its good appearance after long-time use.

Down

Down, typically made of duck or geese features, is a natural insulating material. It’s a popular material that is used in jackets or coats to provide remarkable warmth on extremely cold days. Down clothing is a must-have item for those who live in cold areas. Although most down jackets are puffy, the wearers would feel lightweight and comfortable when they participate in outdoor activities. But the moisture resistance and quick-drying ability of down fabric are not stronger than fleece and polyester. It’s easy to get on rainy or snowy days.
