Olive green, lightly padded and electrically heated vest from Back on Track, which generates immediate warmth at the push of a button – an absolute must-have for those who are a bit more cold-sensitive, or for those who are simply tired of sitting and freezing on the riding arena bleachers. It is also ideal to wear between riding sessions to maintain warmth.
The tailored, hip-length fit, along with the elastic stretch panels on the sides, makes the garment very comfortable to wear and optimal for use both on its own and under a thicker jacket.
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 in 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

Welltex®
The unique composition of natural minerals in Welltex® technology captures body heat and converts it into long-wave infrared energy, which is then reflected back to the skin, joints, and muscles. This infrared energy is known for its ability to promote blood circulation, and may therefore be helpful during recovery from injuries, strains, inflammation, or tense muscles.
Starting with Back on Track
Back on Track’s 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. Once the introduction period is over, the products should be used for at least 8 hours a day, preferably longer. It can take up to 10-20 days of use to achieve the maximum effect.
If you experience a decrease in the effect, it may be beneficial to take a break from the product. After a neutralizing period, you can restart and reintroduce the product.
The products are best used in direct contact with the skin, but they are also effective with a thin layer of fabric underneath. They can be used during both rest and activity – but the best effect is achieved during activity, due to the higher body temperature and stronger heat reflection.
Use in combination with liniment or similar products if desired; the effect may be enhanced when used simultaneously.
Note that
Increased blood flow can, in some cases, cause a reaction that may be perceived as irritating or tender. This reaction is individual, and everyone experiences the effect differently, so it’s good to be aware of it and adjust accordingly if needed.
The initial reaction may occur after just an hour of use. If you experience discomfort, the product should not be used any further on the same day. Instead, try introducing the product more gradually over the next few days.
Use the product only as instructed and consult your doctor if symptoms persist. If you are undergoing medical treatment, please consult your doctor about how the product may affect your treatment.
Do not use during pregnancy or lactation.
