Black, padded and electrically heated puffer vest, from Back on Track, which generates instant warmth with a simple push of a button - simply a must-have for those who are extra cold, or for those who are just tired of sitting and freezing in the riding arena stands. Also ideal to wear between riding sessions, to maintain warmth.
Katla has a slightly tailored fit with room for movement, and thanks to its longer design, the vest also reaches down over the hips.
The integrated, electric heating system is powered by an optional portable power bank. The settings allow you to choose, or switch between, three heat levels – low (45°C), medium (50°C), or high (55°C). The power bank is placed in a convenient, small zippered pocket and must be plugged in for the heating system to work. Power bank not included.
The vest, which fastens with a two-way zipper at the front, is fully lined with Welltex® technology, providing an additional warming feature – the material reflects infrared energy, both from your own body heat and from the heat generated by the electric heating system.

Size & fit
The product runs large, making it possible to wear a thicker sweater underneath. However, if you want to wear it over only a thin layer of clothing and close to the body, consider sizing down.

Welltex®
Welltex® technology's unique composition of natural minerals captures body heat and converts it into long-wave infrared energy, which is then reflected back to the skin, joints, and muscles. The infrared energy is known for promoting blood circulation, and can therefore be helpful during recovery from injuries, wear and tear, inflammation, or tense muscles.
Starting to use Back on Track
Back on Track products, with Welltex technology, should be introduced gradually to allow the body to adjust to the effect. The recommendation is a maximum of 4 hours/day during the first 2-3 days, and then gradually increase the usage time by one hour at a time. After the introduction period, the products should be used for at least 8 hours per day, and preferably longer. It can take up to 10-20 usage days to achieve maximum results.
If you experience a decrease in effect, it may be a good idea to take a break from the product. After the neutralization period, you can start again and reintroduce the product.
The products work best in direct contact with the skin, but they are also effective with a thin layer of fabric underneath. They can be used both during rest and activity – but the best effect is achieved during activity, due to a higher body temperature and stronger heat reflection.
Use in conjunction with liniment or similar, at your own discretion, as the effect may be enhanced when used together.
Note that
Increased blood circulation can sometimes cause a tingling or sore feeling. The reaction is completely individual and everyone experiences the effect differently, but this is something to be aware of, so you can respond accordingly if needed.
The initial reaction may occur after just an hour of use. If discomfort is experienced, do not use the product again on the same day; instead, try gradually introducing the product over the following days.
Use the product only as instructed and consult a doctor if symptoms persist. If you are undergoing a medical treatment, it is recommended to consult your doctor to check how the product may affect your treatment.
Do not use during pregnancy or lactation.
