Ectotherm Insulated 12v Heated Jacket (V2.0)

Color
Onyx
Size

We added carbon fiber heating elements to a kick-ass technical puffy, and the ‘Ectotherm’ was born. The updated V2.0 brings a redesigned lower-profile controller and cable management pocket, plus two new battery-saving modes to extend off-bike capabilities when used with a power bank.

When the wind chill is at its peak, the Ectotherm’s bike-powered 6-panel carbon-fiber 3.5Amps/42w heating system will keep you warm on high alpine passes and long, cold pavement stretches.  When you crawl out of your tent on frigid mornings, the Ectotherm performs as a super warm stand-alone insulator with 100g body-mapped synthetic PrimaLoft Gold insulation with Cross Core Technology.

V2.0's upgraded heat settings include a Low Power Mode, where the heating elements pulse, gradually increasing and decreasing heat, helping maximize battery life when plugged into an external power bank. In Timer Mode, an auto-off setting is activated to maintain your desired heat level at 20/30/60 minute presets, which is handy for falling asleep on bitter nights and not using up all your battery.

Unlike conventional heated liners the Ectotherm is a fully functional stand-alone synthetic insulation layer. By combining the functionality of a technical puffy and a heated liner we’ve added even more performance and versatility to a layer that we rarely leave home without. Now you can enjoy the comfort of onboard 12V heat without over burdening your pack space. Pair it with heated grips and hand-shields to create the ultimate minimalist heat system for backcountry and RTW travel.

Built with 100g of PrimaLoft Gold Insulation with Cross Core Technology at the core and 60g in the underarms to reduce bulk under armor, the Ectotherm is well equipped for any cold weather trip. This high-tech insulation combines PrimaLoft Gold, with aerogel technology, to provide up to 52% more warmth than the same weight of PrimaLoft Gold Insulation alone. This enables us to achieve both enhanced warmth and decreased weight. Integrated directly into the fibers, aerogel further enhances the performance of synthetic insulation. Now not only will it perform better than down when wet, it will also perform better when compressed under armor.

To further battle the chill of riding in the cold, we added 6 thin, flexible carbon fiber heat panels in the collar, arms, left and right chest and back. Activate the heat with a hem mounted controller to toggle through 3 levels of 3.5amp/42w heat to maximize comfort. The system is powered by your bike’s 12V battery (wiring harness included) for heat that lasts as long as the ride. When it comes to cold weather riding the Ectotherm Insulated 12v Heated Jacket is a powerhouse of comfort when pushing the boundaries of riding season.

The Ectotherm name comes from Ectothermic, a scientific term for animals that exchange body heat with external sources, like a lizard basking on a hot rock.

No brainer

If you are asking yourself if this jacket is worth the money, the short answer is yes. The real question should be "how have I been riding all this time without it?" I live in the Yukon and riding in cool/cold temps is part of the deal up here. I generally solved the problem with high quality insulated layers but these take up space and require constant management as the temperature changes. This jacket is incredible. It's April in the Yukon and although the weather is nice, temps are still in the single digits. I plug this thing in and feel heat within seconds. Even at highway speeds in the cool temps, I continue to feel the heat and need no other layers. Quality seems pretty good. Fit is always tricky for me. I'm 6 feet, 190lbs athletically built but with long arms. Large should be my size but I usually find the arms too short. XL often is too big. I decided to go with the Large even thought the arms are a bit short because I wanted a low profile fit for under my riding jacket but also to keep the heating elements close to my body. As a result, there is a bit of tension across the back but overall pretty comfy. I would say if you are my size or even a bit taller/heavier, go with the XL. The one thing that would be nice is to have the option to order extra wiring harnesses at the time of purchase so you can set up more than one bike.
