Carney: Heated vests are nice, but lack battery life
I’ll admit it: I’m getting soft in my old age. Some of my hunting buddies have been using heated vests in the field the past couple of seasons, so I decided to give them a try. The modern heated vests are not your daddy’s vest, but rather a really impressive unit just because of the innovations in lithium batteries.
