Rapala Report
Let’s face it, to fish like a pro, there are some days when you must face the elements head-on – that includes cold, windy and damp weather.
But no more. Rapala has a solution that will keep you warm and toasty regardless of whatever Mother Nature throws at you.
The new Rapala R12 Heated jacket and Vest is fueled and ready for action. Powered by Rapala’s exclusive R12 Lithium series battery system, the R12 Heated Jacket and Vest consistently deliver strength, durability, and reliability day after day, year after year, to keep you on the water longer.
Both the jacket and the vest feature a tri-zone heating system – heating coils are embedded in the chest, the shoulders and the neck to provide hours of warmth. A push-button temperature control with an LED indicator allows for high, medium and low heating settings.
The Rapala R12 battery 2Ah (included) provides up to 4 hours of warmth at the low setting, 3 hours at medium, and 2 hours at high. A removable R12 power bank connects through the side/back pocket to allow for the easy changing of batteries. A USB-C cord allows for battery charging with the power bank.
The R12 jacket and vest both are made with high quality, machine washable (hang to dry), windproof and water-resistant fabric. Both the jacket and vest include a zippered chest pocket and traditional hand pockets at the waist. The jacket includes a hood cinch.
The R12 Heated Jacket has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of US $199.99, and the R12 Heated Vest has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of US $169.99.
