How Does the S548 Work?
The S548 is a tunnel jacket that uses embedded carbon fibre heated panels to heat the jacket in order to keep the user warm. The jacket has three heat settings that are controlled by a button located at the chest. The rechargeable battery offers up to an incredible 10 hours of heat.
How Do You Charge This Jacket?
The carbon fibre heated panels in the Portwest S548 are powered by a single rechargeable battery pack. Simply plug the pack in, charge and reuse as much as is required.
Is Wearing a Heated Jacket Dangerous?
It is natural to question the safety of a waterproof jacket that contains a battery as electricity and water don't mix well. However, the Portwest S548 has a number of features intended to put your mind at ease.
Firstly, the jacket uses a waterproof thermoplastic polyurethane coating that ensures water cannot penetrate the jacket to come into contact with the battery. Secondly, the carbon fibre heated panels are protected by the tunnelling fabric which is 260g 100% polyester. In the event that water does enter the jacket, we recommend you disconnect the battery pack immediately.
