Heated coats

[uzininemm]

good afternoon everyone.

Does anyone with a heart condition already wear a heated coat without a problem.

Thinking of investing in one.

Thank you.

Dear You

I use one { after asking my heart team } and I have no problems and that's with a pacemaker .

I am male and buy most of my outside stuff from a well known Tool Supplier as I think work wear is better made.

No one has guessed that this is where my coats come from { not that I care } as the days of them looking like wearable plastic bucket have long gone.

This coat has a panel at the back that heats up from a battery pack situated in a inside pocket, the jacket is so well made { easy half the price of anything similier in normal retail } that I have only used the heat setting once so far.

Hope this helps

Brilliant thanks Blue 1958, this really does.

Have ordered one.

Great for cold days (trust me should have thought of it before the cold spell), mind you will be great for the cricket in April (it's bound to be cold based on previous years).

Hi Blue1958, would you mind showing me a link to the place you bought it from? When I search they are usually pre heated or without batteries. I exercise dog walking a lot after HA 3 years ago but feel the cold especially this time of year. Thanks..

The one I brought was from Mad for Tools but most tool places sell them, have you tried B&Q? and yes be careful as some come without the batteries as they use the same ones as the powered tools that they use on site { could get yourself a new tool to use the battery in warmer times ! }

Came into its own walking the dog this morning, shame it didn't stop me falling on the ice ! { no worries shocked more than anything }

Take care

I'm amazed blue, never knew there was such a thing as a heated coat Think I need one that can cool as well a heat, because I can flip one way or the other. Thank you for making us aware.

hi I have one it wasn’t cheap it was about £250. I have a ICD and thought I couldn’t have one so I contacted the British heart foundation and they contacted the people that make them and was told it was fine as long as the battery is a least 6 inches away from my ICD my battery is in the lower pocket on the right side

Could you let me have a link to the one you bought. Don’t think I’ll spend that much as it’s for when I go fishing. Ideally a gilet. Reassuring about the BHF guidance as I have an ICD.
