New Torque™ Insulated Heated Vest negates 'unfishable weather'

A cold core often translates into numbness and tingling in your extremities. That doesn't bode well for feeling the sensation of a subtle fish strike or threading on a fresh plastic. It can also mean frozen feet on a cold boat deck. Conversely, a warm core - aka torso - promotes circulation to your legs, feet, arms, and fingers. And, keeps you on the water longer.

Whitewater Fishing brilliantly stokes the body's furnace with the new Torque™ Insulated Heated Vest. At its epicenter is an adjustable heating system with two internal pads on the chest and one in the back. Warmth is delivered via a one-touch button that takes you through three heating levels: (˜100 degrees F) to mid (˜113 degrees F) to high (˜131 degreesF.).

Such thermostatic control takes aim at an array of temperatures and weather conditions, letting you find that sweet spot.

Heating power is delivered by a built-in USB power cable in the front pocket. Choose to power your new Torque Insulated Heated Vest with Whitewater's 5V/2A power bank, which is sold separately.

The functional fit of the Torque Insulated Heated Vest follows the intelligent design that goes into all Whitewater Fishing gear. First, the vest is founded on 80 grams of Primaloft® Silver insulation. Its ultra fine fibers are designed to trap warmth and regulate temperature. Moreover, Primaloft Silver fibers are moisture repellent and durable for repeated use and laundering.

The Torque Insulated Heated Vest's outer shell is wind and water-resistant, bolstered with DWR (Durable Water Repellent), and features three ideally placed pockets. A smooth polyester lining with Lycra binding produces a snug, athletic fit that becomes one with your body. An extended cut in the back keeps winds from whipping up.

Finishing things off, Whitewater added reflective touch points in the front and back for when you adventure in fog, snow, or just darkness.

Choose to wear the Torque Insulated Heated Vest as part of an internal layering system or fortress of exterior armor. The choice is yours.

Torque Insulated Heated Vest features:

  • One touch button delivers three levels of heat on-demand via a built-in USB power cable in the pocket
  • DWR treated nylon shell repels moisture
  • Reflective logo touchpoints for visibility
  • Smooth polyester lining
  • 80g Primaloft Silver insulation for warmth
  • Lycra binding for a snug fit
  • Three pockets for storage (1 chest, 2 waist)
