Our high-tech fabric heating systems let people strip away the bulk, reduce layers, and carry their own heater wherever they go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"531\" data-start=\"464\"\u003eBut while people loved the warmth, we knew there was more to build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"929\" data-start=\"533\"\u003eWe wanted to create a heated vest people would choose to wear even without the heating system — simply because it looked and felt that good. So that’s exactly what we set out to do. Working with a talented Melbourne designer, we developed the new \u003cstrong data-end=\"805\" data-start=\"784\"\u003eZarkie Down Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: a jacket and vest collection that delivers standout style, premium comfort, and an even better heating system than before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1368\" data-start=\"931\"\u003eThe outer shell is made from a unique waterproof textured nylon, while the \u003cstrong data-start=\"1010\" data-end=\"1033\"\u003e700g RDS duck down fill 90\/10\u003c\/strong\u003e gives it that plush, cocoon-like feel — almost like wearing a luxury sleeping bag. The vest has been designed with\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003ethree-layer stretch side panels\u003cstrong\u003e,\u003c\/strong\u003e allowing for a firmer fit so the heating panels sit close to the body for better warmth, without sacrificing flexibility or movement. And of course, we finished it with YKK zips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1410\" data-start=\"1370\"\u003eNow let’s talk about the heating system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1446\" data-start=\"1412\"\u003eThis is where things get exciting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1841\" data-start=\"1448\"\u003eThe heating panels are made from carbon fibre fabric technology, which means they feel like a regular high-quality fabric rather than a stiff wire-based insert. They can be bent, folded, scrunched, and machine washed without damage. Backed by a \u003cstrong data-end=\"1718\" data-start=\"1697\"\u003etwo-year warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e on the built-in heating system, they are incredibly reliable and represent the leading edge of heated clothing technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2064\" data-start=\"1843\"\u003eThe vest features\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e6 heating panels located in the neck, back, both sides of the chest,\u003cstrong data-end=\"1960\" data-start=\"1897\"\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eand two in the pockets, which warm both the hands and stomach area — a feature that feels seriously luxurious in cold weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2314\" data-start=\"2066\"\u003eWhat makes this vest even better is its dual-zoned heating system. The chest, back, and neck are controlled separately from the pockets\/stomach zone, allowing you to customise your warmth depending on the conditions and how you wear it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2343\" data-start=\"2316\"\u003eExpected heating times are:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2374\" data-start=\"2345\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2374\" data-start=\"2345\"\u003eChest, back and neck only\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"2444\" data-start=\"2375\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2397\" data-start=\"2375\" data-section-id=\"9cf7j3\"\u003eHigh: around 3 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2422\" data-start=\"2398\" data-section-id=\"wk32sp\"\u003eMedium: around 6 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2444\" data-start=\"2423\" data-section-id=\"1ixqpnz\"\u003eLow: around 9 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2470\" data-start=\"2446\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2470\" data-start=\"2446\"\u003ePockets\/stomach only\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"2542\" data-start=\"2471\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2493\" data-start=\"2471\" data-section-id=\"1luceqi\"\u003eHigh: around 6 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2519\" data-start=\"2494\" data-section-id=\"57jf7g\"\u003eMedium: around 12 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2542\" data-start=\"2520\" data-section-id=\"ozpfz3\"\u003eLow: around 18 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2566\" data-start=\"2544\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2566\" data-start=\"2544\"\u003eAll zones together\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"2618\" data-start=\"2567\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2583\" data-start=\"2567\" data-section-id=\"1ml1tue\"\u003eHigh: 2+ hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2602\" data-start=\"2584\" data-section-id=\"14nmmoz\"\u003eMedium: 4+ hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2618\" data-start=\"2603\" data-section-id=\"1di1zs8\"\u003eLow: 6+ hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3156\" data-start=\"2620\"\u003ePowering the system is a small, flat 7.4V 5000mAh battery, included with the vest. It sits neatly in the\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003einternal front left pocket, so you barely notice it’s there — even when sitting down. The battery charges via USB-C, and when used with a high-wattage USB-C wall charger, it can be fully charged in around 3 hours. It also features a USB-C output, so if you’re caught out, you can use it to charge your phone too — although choosing between a flat phone and turning off your heater might be harder than expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3218\" data-start=\"3158\"\u003eAnd then there’s the collar — one of our favourite features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3552\" data-start=\"3220\"\u003eIt can be worn three ways:\u003cbr\u003ewith the collar folded down for a more relaxed look, folded up with the zip down to warm the back and sides of the neck while keeping the front open, or fully zipped up on those bitter, windy days so you can tuck your chin into the down-filled warmth while the heat presses into the back of your neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3832\" data-start=\"3554\"\u003eThe vest is designed to look great worn on its own, but it’s also versatile enough to layer under a ski jacket, motorcycle jacket, work jacket, or rain shell when the weather gets serious.
