With any new technology, it's always advisable to check the instructions before use.

Here's a quick guide from Deerhunter on how to use the Deerhunter Heat range and how to get the most out of the element and rechargeable powerbank.

Charging

Firstly, charge the powerbank (please note we do not supply powerbanks with our products, this will have to be purchased separately) by using the USB / micro USB cable which is included with the powerbank. The four small LED lights on the powerbank indicates the status of the charging process. As soon as ALL the LED lights are on, unplug the charger and the powerbank is now ready for use.

How to use your new Heat product

Find the USB port in the lower inner pocket and attach the powerbank to the cable. Turn on the powerbank by pressing the ON/OFF button on the side. Once the powerbank is activated, place it in the lower inner pocket of the jacket or gilet.

For the Heat function, press and hold the power button inside the chest pocket until it lights up. Then choose the temperature you require: Red light - high temperature 55°C; Green – medium temperature 45°C Blue – low temperature 38°C

To turn off the heat function press and hold the power button inside the chest pocket for three seconds or until the light turn off. The powerbank will then turn off automatically after about a minute. To turn the Heat functions off via the powerbank, hold down the on/off button for at least 10 seconds.

Tips for a longer battery life

Always charge your powerbank until it is fully charged. Avoid overcharging your power bank as this can cause the battery life to decrease, shortening the amount of time the powerbank will power your Deerhunter product. Disconnect and remove the powerbank before storing for long periods (eg. over the summer months). All the components are securely tested and are CE and RoHS approved.

Washing & Care Instructions

Always remove the powerbank when washing your Deerhunter Heated Jacket, Gilet or Trousers. Ensure the safety stopper on the USB cable is in place during washing to protect it.

  • Machine wash on a gentle programme of no more than 40°C
  • Do Not use softener
  • Do Not dry clean
  • Do Not iron
  • Tumble dry at low temperature with a few tennis balls.

How to Use a Heated Gilet Effectively

If you're an outdoor enthusiast or a hunting aficionado, staying warm during your adventures is crucial. One of the best ways to ensure comfort is by investing in a heated gilet. Designed for efficiency and warmth, a heated gilet is an innovative piece of clothing that keeps you comfortable in chilly weather. In this guide, we will explore how to use a heated gilet effectively, ensuring you get the most out of this fantastic product.

Understanding Your Heated Gilet

Before diving into usage, it's essential to understand the features of your heated gilet. Most heated gilets, including those from renowned brands available at ArdMoor like Deerhunter, come equipped with built-in heating elements, typically powered by rechargeable batteries. These gilets are designed to provide targeted warmth to your core, helping to regulate your body temperature during outdoor activities.

Charging Your Heated Gilet

The first step in using your heated gilet is to charge the battery. Most models come with a USB charging cable. Simply connect the battery to a power source and allow it to charge fully before your outing. A fully charged battery will provide hours of warmth, so it's advisable to charge it after each use to ensure it's ready for your next adventure.

How to Wear Your Heated Gilet

Wearing your heated gilet correctly can significantly enhance its performance. For optimal warmth, layer it over a thermal base layer or a lightweight fleece. This layering technique traps heat while allowing moisture to escape, keeping you dry and warm. Ensure that the gilet fits comfortably but snugly, allowing for ease of movement, especially during activities like hunting or hiking.

Operating the Heat Settings

Most heated gilets feature multiple heat settings, allowing you to adjust the warmth according to the weather conditions. Typically, you can control the heat levels by pressing a button on the gilet or using an app if it has smart technology. Start by selecting a medium heat setting to gauge your comfort level; you can increase or decrease the heat as needed. Remember, it's essential to find a balance that keeps you warm without overheating.

Maintenance and Care

To keep your heated gilet in optimal condition, follow the manufacturer's care instructions. Most heated gilets are machine washable, but it's crucial to remove the battery before washing. Use a gentle cycle and mild detergent to protect the heating elements. Always air dry your gilet to maintain its quality and longevity. Regular care will ensure that your heated gilet serves you well for many outdoor adventures.
