Warned my buddy his $40 Amazon comm trick would fail on the 401, and I ate my words
I ripped on him for buying that cheap heated vest for his winter rides on the 401, figured the thing would die in a week at -20. But he ran it 6 days straight from Barrie to Vaughan and the battery never skipped a beat. Now I'm out here wondering if I wasted $180 on my fancy one. Anyone else running these cheap heated layers through a real Canadian winter?

Learned this same lesson with power tools a few years back. Bought a $300 DeWalt hammer drill and my neighbour's $60 no name brand from Canadian Tire drilled through concrete just as fast. Turns out half these fancy brands use the same guts inside, you're just paying for the sticker and the warranty. Same thing with heated gear now I bet, one factory in China pumps out the same heating elements and slaps different logos on them. Makes you wonder what else we're overpaying for just because the box looks nicer.
