Ectotherm Insulated 12v Heated Jacket

We added carbon fiber heating elements to a kick-ass technical puffy, and the ‘Ectotherm’ was born.

When you’re sitting around the campfire or lounging in your tent, it’s a super warm insulator with 100g body-mapped synthetic PrimaLoft Gold insulation with Cross Core Technology. Connected to the bike, it adds a 6-panel carbon-fiber 3.5Amps/42w heating system powered by the bike. That extra warmth takes the edge off long, cold, wet, pavement stretches; keeps you warm on high alpine passes; adds new enjoyment to early spring and late fall trips, and ensures you’re ready for anything a multi-year/multi-season RTW journey can dish out.

The Ectotherm is your solution for staying sane and happy when the weather turns brutal. The name comes from Ectothermic, a scientific term for animals that exchange body heat with external sources. Like a lizard basking on a hot rock.

DESIGN

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.

Exceeded expectations

I wasn’t sure if I’d like this jacket. I was worried that it would be too hot for general use. However, it exceeded my expectations and I can now remove a few layers from my packing list when I travel. I have a Klim mesh jacket and depending on the weather, wear a base layer, a shirt/light pullover, a pile jacket or light puffy coat, and sometimes a pile vest all underneath the Klim, with a wind layer over top. With the Ectotherm, I can basically get rid of everything except the base layer and shirt. The Ectotherm covers all the “heat layers” and, to my surprise, eliminates the need for a wind layer over top of the Klim jacket. Of course, a waterproof jacket is still needed in the rain, but this thing covers such a wide range of temperature needs, I can basically leave the rest of my cold weather layers at home (unless maybe it’s really cold weather and I need gear for off the bike wear, although a portable battery pack would probably solve that problem too). This is great news when I’m out for weeks at a time. As for being too hot, I’ve worn it over a light base layer in up to 60 degree weather here in Seattle and been perfectly comfortable. I imagine that it will get a little toasty if the temperature gets to much higher than that, but in that case, you generally don’t need a warm layer anyway.

Top notch!!

Love the ectotherm jacket. Being a woman and always cold on spring and autumn rides in Swedish conditions this is just the best jacket to keep you warm. Went to work the other day, had -1°C(30°F) in the morning. Arrived 40 min later feeling warm!
Have a size S and I'm 174cm and fit my bodyarmour under.
