Heated Jackets. Too good to be true?

November 17, 2011

We work and live in Buffalo, NY. We understand the need for good winter gear. While a heated jacket sounds like a dream come true to many of us living in the north, such a product may actually be but a dream.

If you own these battery packs remove them from your jackets and contact “Columbia” for replacement batteries.
