Venustas plans November launch of dual-battery heated vest for extreme cold

Venustas said it will launch the Volcano Pro Dual-Battery Heated Vest globally in November 2026, positioning the product for ice anglers, snowmobile riders and outdoor workers facing sub-zero conditions. The vest pairs 41W heating, two included batteries and optional 12V vehicle power to extend runtime in extreme cold.

Why it matters: - Venustas is targeting users who need sustained warmth in severe cold, where short battery life and weak heat can limit safety and performance. - The Volcano Pro is designed to reduce dependence on battery swaps by adding 12V vehicle power support and higher-capacity batteries.

What happened: - Venustas announced the upcoming global launch of the Volcano Pro Dual-Battery Heated Vest for November 2026. - The vest is aimed at ice anglers, snowmobile riders, winter outdoor crews and other users working or recreating in extreme cold. - Venustas said the pre-launch page is live now and global shipping will start in November 2026.

The details: - The Volcano Pro uses 41W heating power, which Venustas describes as 4x the heating power of everyday heated gear. - The vest includes two 7.5K batteries with a combined 108Wh capacity. - Venustas said one battery can be used for a lighter fit, while both batteries together can provide up to 11 hours of warmth. - The vest can run from a 12V vehicle power source through a DC lead in the left-hand pocket and a free Y-cable set. - Heat coverage reaches the collar, both sides of the chest, the upper back and the lower back. - The vest comes in dedicated men’s and women’s fits. - The shell uses a windproof, waterproof three-layer construction over a graphene lining. - Battery placement sits on the sides instead of the spine to improve comfort when sitting on a sled or leaning against a truck seat. - Venustas said the Volcano Pro is built to perform from 41°F down to -40°F in wind. - The company is offering 200 Founder Passes before launch. - Reserving a Founder Pass costs $10 and is fully refundable before the November launch. - At launch, the $10 reservation converts into a $50 coupon valid on the Volcano series. - Founder Pass buyers also receive a Lifetime Heating Element Warranty and a free Y-cable set valued at $17.99. - VENUSTAS said the brand has more than eight years of product innovation, more than 3 million products sold and customers in more than 30 countries. - The company’s portfolio includes heated vests, jackets, hoodies, gloves, workwear and temperature-control apparel. - Media contact: VENUSTAS PR Team, cooperation@venustas.com. - More information: Venustas

Between the lines: - The launch leans into a clear market gap: heated apparel that can handle all-day cold exposure without forcing users to manage limited battery life. - The 12V vehicle option positions the vest as both outdoor gear and powersports equipment, not just a standalone wearable. - The Founder Pass program appears designed to build early demand and lock in pre-orders ahead of the November rollout.

What's next: - Venustas plans to open global availability in November 2026. - The company is likely to use the pre-launch period to gather early buyers and convert Founder Pass reservations into launch sales. - Venustas will need to prove the Volcano Pro’s claimed runtime and heating performance in real-world sub-zero conditions.
