The DIY Jacket Upgrade, Thank Me Later

2018-01-07
so today I've got a cool one this is a product called torch 2.0 and this lets you add heating to any coke Tanny jacket I guess you could even add it to a hoodie now I featured something kind of along these lines in the past it was a sweatshirt where you put your hands in the pocket and then there's a hand heater in there grab grab that thing grab it what do you got this thing works a little different they're calling it a universal coat heater and what I like about this setup is you get to use your own coat so you're sure that you've got one that you like this unit attaches to the inside and then the battery that keeps everything juiced up is detachable just bring that thing inside charge it up and then you're heating all over again peel and stick the velcro installation kit into your coat attach your torch coat heater turn it on to enjoy hours of soothing warmth so this is the main unit microUSB cable I believe that will be to charge the battery which is over here it's a pretty slim standard looking portable battery seems pretty Universal to me right this is a standard USB connection other side benefit if this is in your coat then you've always got a battery backup for your phone to power brick in the box lastly these look like the velcro pads that the unit attaches to that is definitely velcro in fact it is velcro brand velcro the real stuff yeah that's a grip right there holy smokes ok that's gonna work and the heating elements I suppose are just there in there simple stuff and then over here on this side this is a pouch and this is where your little battery pack is gonna go so this piece is gonna plug in here like that and then the battery unit goes inside the little pouch clamp it down that's it so this is a pretty standard kind of black coat here and I'm just gonna lay it out as they have told me to do alright so now I am gonna remove the sticker part of the velcro here kablammo okay that's on there place that in the center there Jack can you see that there it really sticks on there and if you take this pack out it's also the soft side of the velcro I think that's an important touch right so it's not the scratchy teeth side it's the soft side so you're not gonna notice it if have to pack out also it's cool that they've designed a battery bank here which has LED indicators so you can quickly reach down hit the button and see how much charge you have left only thing left to do this is the interesting side over here with the power switch red is high blue is medium and green is low so on the high setting you can expect somewhere in the neighborhood of two and a half hours of battery life and in the low setting you can get as much as four hours it is already beginning to warm up oh man that is nice here we go well I'm gonna get cooking soon I'll tell you what Oh me not gonna me huh I'm just gonna wear this for a bit wait for peak temperature to kick in from a functionality standpoint I mean you noticed the battery pack you're kind of a weary I mean it feels like you have a wallet in your pocket sort of oh it's getting like skin like toasty now oh this is kind of genius this kind of a good eye I mean having a battery bank is already useful on its own you might already carry one and now you just got it right here where you need it plus the heat if I have a long walk to work if I'm on the bike if I'm on a motorcycle oh it's cooking I'm going now oh yeah yeah this is a smart move all right this is the way to do it you got to be outdoors a little bit Nicole heck it comes to the rescue and it's not a whole different coat and you get a battery bank plus it's removable and you can have it in two different coats let's see how this thing keypads hold up so far so good they're in there and I just want to see what the removal process looks like so let's say you want to keep it in this coat permanently well you just want to take out the battery bank so that just comes out boom bring that inside charge that up all right now maybe you want to go a step further and remove the whole thing let's see if the sticky pads stay on this material all right so it does come out again this is gonna depend a lot on the material you're sticking it to at first the back piece wants to come off with it it is a very strong velcro connection so I'm not sure I'd be taking it out all that frequently I think this is more the kind of thing when you install it you probably want to leave it there or if you do take it out you're gonna want to let this adhesive set in a little bit longer once you take this off this becomes a normal coat all over again and you're not gonna notice these velcro pads in there just one two three you're back to heating I think they're onto something especially at this price point sixty five bucks if you're freezing out there you'll take all the help you can get what are you doing your shovel in the driveway 11 pizzas I don't know what you're up to if you have to be outside in the weather that we are dealing with right now you'll take any advantage you can get the porch 2.0 you never know what's gonna show up here human beings they keep making things well-done porch I think it's a cool idea DIY a detainee coat
