Your Vest Setup + Power Tips

Let's Get You Heated (the Good Kind 💕)

Ready to glow from the inside out?

Here's how to power up your new Hot Tommies vest like a pro.

Charge the battery

CHARGE IT 🔋

Step 1: Fully charge your battery — all 4 dots = ready to glow.

Before the heat, comes the power. Plug in your battery until all four lights are on. You can check by pressing the button on the side.

Plug in the battery

PLUG IT IN 🔌

Step 2: Connect your battery to the cord inside your left pocket — same side as the power button.

Make sure the connection is snug. Once plugged in, your vest is ready to activate.

Turn on the vest

TURN IT ON 🔘

Step 3: Hold for 3 seconds to turn on. You may need to do this twice to initiate connection.

The first press gets things talking. The second locks in the heat.

💡 Tip: Watch for the glow — red, white, or blue — to know it's on.

⚡ Troubleshooting Tips

If your vest isn't heating up properly, don't stress — here's how to fix it fast:

  1. 1. Check Your Charge:
    Press the button on the side of your battery. If fewer than 4 dots light up, give it a full charge.
  2. 2. Test the Cord:
    If your battery isn't charging at all, try using a different USB-C cord or plug it into a different outlet or power block. Occasionally, the included cord can be the issue — this helps rule that out.
  3. 3. Confirm Your Connection:
    Make sure the battery is plugged securely into the cord inside the left pocket (same side as the power button).
  4. 4. Double Power-On:
    Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds — you may need to do this twice the first time to connect.
  5. 5. Flickering Light?
    Rapid flashing = low battery. Fully charge again before use.
  6. 6. Pro Tip:
    Always unplug the battery while not in use to preserve charge life.

💕 If It Feels Like the
Heat's Only in the Back...

Don't worry — that's exactly how it's supposed to feel.

Your Hot Tommies vest is engineered to deliver targeted, efficient warmth where your body needs it most.

Your Hot Tommies vest features 9 targeted heat zones for maximum comfort and efficiency:

  • 🔥 6 heating zones in the back – for full spinal and core warmth (that's where you'll feel it the most)
  • 💖 2 zones in the front – positioned over your midsection for a balanced, subtle heat
  • ✨ 1 zone in the neck – for that cozy, scarf-like warmth we're famous for

So yes, you'll naturally feel the heat strongest in the back, because that's where the majority of the heating elements live. The front panels are designed for gentle, even warmth, not a blast, so you stay comfortable and stylish without overheating.
