WESMART Heated Jacket on Kickstarter: The Graphene-Powered All-in-One Warming Solution

The WESMART heated jacket on Kickstarter eliminates the bulky layers, single-use limitations, and washing headaches that plague traditional heated apparel with a revolutionary graphene heating system that warms your entire torso in 3 seconds. Unlike conventional heated jackets locked into one style, this versatile design transforms from vest to blanket to shawl to sleeping bag—delivering 152°F warmth across a full surface rather than thin wire lines, all while weighing just 450g and fitting anyone from 45kg to 120kg. This adaptability gives users a single piece of gear that transitions smoothly between outdoor work, travel, sports, and daily use without ever feeling restrictive or overly technical.

With over $18,000 pledged from 143 backers and 29 days remaining, this campaign represents a decade of heated apparel expertise from a company that's manufactured for world-renowned brands across North America, Europe, and Asia. By moving directly to Kickstarter, WESMART offers supporters early access to cutting-edge graphene technology at prices that eliminate the usual retail markup, while also allowing backers to support a mature manufacturer ready to deliver a polished, dependable product.

The Problems With Traditional Heated Jackets

Bulky, Single-Purpose Design

Most heated jackets force you into one specific style and use case. You buy a heated ski jacket for winter sports, a heated work vest for outdoor jobs, and a heated coat for daily commuting—each serving only its narrow purpose while taking up closet space and draining your budget. This approach ignores how people actually use their clothing today: one person might commute by subway, go hiking on weekends, travel through airports, and need warmth while working outdoors. Traditional heated jackets simply aren’t built for this range.

These single-purpose designs also lock you into their specific outer layer. When that jacket gets dirty, you can't just swap it out—the heating elements are permanently integrated. You're stuck wearing a stained or damaged outer layer or going without heat entirely. Over time, this makes heated apparel feel like a hassle instead of a benefit.

The WESMART heated jacket on Kickstarter solves this with a modular approach: it functions as an inner heated layer that works with any jacket you already own, while also transforming into a blanket, shawl, or sleeping bag when you need warmth without outerwear. This modularity makes it better suited to real-life use, where conditions and needs change throughout the day.

Limited Size Ranges and Poor Fit

Traditional heated apparel comes in fixed sizes—small, medium, large, extra-large. If you're between sizes, you compromise: too tight restricts movement and makes the heating uncomfortable, too loose creates gaps where cold air infiltrates. And fabrics stiffen around heating wires, amplifying fit issues.

Worse, these size limitations mean couples or families can't easily share heated gear. Each person needs their own specifically-sized jacket, multiplying the cost and storage requirements. For many households, this is the barrier that stops them from investing in heated clothing altogether.

WESMART's unisex design with elastic side panels and quick-snap adjustment comfortably fits anyone from 45kg to 120kg. One vest serves the entire household, adjusting instantly to different body types without the guesswork of traditional sizing. This flexibility also makes it a practical gift, since you don’t need to know the recipient’s exact size.

Washing Nightmares and Durability Issues

Many heated jackets can't be machine washed, requiring tedious hand washing or expensive dry cleaning. The heating wires break down over time, especially around stress points like shoulders and elbows. After a season or two, you're replacing the entire jacket because the heating elements failed while the outer fabric remains perfectly good.

The WESMART heated jacket on Kickstarter uses graphene heating film sealed with waterproof insulation layers and mist-proof connector treatment. It's fully machine washable after removing the power bank, withstands over 100 wash cycles, and is estimated to last more than 3 years under normal use. This durability makes heated clothing a realistic part of daily life rather than a fragile novelty item.

Graphene Technology: The Heating Revolution

Full-Surface Heating vs. Carbon Fiber Wires

Traditional heated apparel uses carbon fiber wires—thin lines of heating elements stitched into the fabric. These wires create narrow strips of warmth with noticeable gaps between them. You feel the wire texture, and the heat distribution is uneven: scorching over the wire, chilly between the lines.

WESMART’s graphene heating system delivers distributed surface heating across the entire panel. The film covers more area, heats faster, and produces smoother, more even warmth. No hotspots, no cold gaps, no stiff texture—just clean, uniform comfort that feels more like stepping into a warm room than wearing a technical device.

3-Second Heat-Up to 152°F

Graphene's exceptional thermal conductivity allows the WESMART heated jacket on Kickstarter to reach operating temperature in just 3 seconds. Press the button and feel warmth spreading across your torso almost immediately—no waiting through the 30–60 second warm-up period carbon fiber systems require.

The system reaches up to 152°F (67°C), managed by a precision temperature-control chip that prevents overheating. Multiple heat settings let you choose the right level for each situation, whether you're sitting at a cold office, hiking in winter air, or enduring sub-zero wind chill.

Safety and Water Resistance

The graphene heating film is sealed with a waterproof insulation layer that remains safe even when submerged. The connector’s mist-proof treatment prevents moisture infiltration at the most vulnerable point. Combined with 5V/2A low-voltage heating, the system operates safely while maintaining powerful warmth. This blend of performance and safety reflects the company’s long experience manufacturing heated apparel.

Four Ways to Wear: Maximum Versatility

Heated Vest for Active Use

Wear the WESMART heated jacket on Kickstarter as a vest under your existing jackets and coats. This inner-layer approach gives you warmth without requiring you to change your style or buy new outerwear. Your ski jacket, work coat, and casual bomber all become heated options.

And because the heating is independent of the outer layer, you can wash or replace your jacket without affecting the warming system. This solves one of the biggest practical issues of heated clothing today.

Cozy Blanket for Stationary Warmth

Unfold the vest completely and it transforms into a blanket ideal for camping, stadium seating, or relaxing at home. The full-surface graphene film distributes heat evenly, offering a warm, lightweight, portable blanket that replaces thicker, heavier alternatives. It’s especially useful for early-morning travel, cold offices, and outdoor events.

Shawl for Shoulders and Upper Body

The shawl configuration targets the shoulders, neck, and upper back—areas where many people feel cold first. It’s perfect for reading, working at a desk, or unwinding at home. Because it lays across the body instead of wrapping tightly, it can also be shared between two people sitting side-by-side.

Sleeping Bag for Travel and Camping

For travel or emergencies, the vest converts into a compact sleeping bag. Traditional sleeping bags rely solely on insulation; WESMART adds active heating. Whether you're dealing with unheated cabins, cold flights, or overnight camping, this configuration provides a surprising amount of comfort relative to its 450g packed weight.

Premium Materials for Durability

High-Density 40D Nylon Construction

The outer layer uses high-density nylon with spandex, creating a wind-blocking fabric that remains flexible and comfortable. This combination keeps the vest durable enough for outdoor use while still feeling soft enough for daily wear.

3M DR Water-Resistant Insulation

The insulation maintains warmth even when damp, unlike traditional insulation that collapses when exposed to moisture. This makes the vest suitable for unpredictable weather—light rain, snow, or mist won't stop it from keeping you warm.

Three-Layer Construction System

The three-layer construction—outer shell, insulation, and graphene heating panels—creates a microclimate of warmth. When paired with an outer jacket, this system can handle temperatures as low as -20°C (-4°F), making it strong enough for professional outdoor use and winter sports.

Hand-Warming Front Pocket

Dual-Purpose Design

The front pocket works as both storage and a hand-warming zone. Since many people struggle with cold hands long before they feel cold in their torso, this simple addition dramatically improves comfort. It eliminates the need for heated gloves or bulky mittens during short outdoor exposures.

Universal Fit System

Elastic Side Panels and Quick-Snap Adjustment

Elastic panels expand and contract to accommodate different body types. Quick-snap adjustments fine-tune the fit within seconds. This makes the WESMART heated jacket on Kickstarter practical for households who want to share one heating solution.

Made to Move

The stretchy materials and thoughtful design ensure that the vest moves with your body, not against it. Whether you’re shoveling snow, lifting equipment, heading up a ski lift, or simply running errands, the vest’s flexibility keeps it comfortable for extended wear.

Ultra-Portable at Just 450g

Folds Into Its Own Shoulder Bag

The integrated shoulder bag adds convenience while doubling as a small accessory. It allows the vest to be brought anywhere without feeling burdensome, making heated comfort available throughout the day.

Light Enough for Everyday Carry

At only 450g, the vest is lighter than many scarves or sweatshirts. Travelers benefit especially, since it provides warmth during transit, serves as a blanket during flights, and stows away quickly when not needed.

Battery Performance and Heating Duration

3–8 Hours Per Charge

With a 10,000mAh power bank, the vest provides 3–8 hours of heating. This range supports commuters, outdoor workers, and adventurers alike. Users can extend runtime with a backup power bank if needed.

Standard Power Bank Compatibility

The vest works with any standard USB power bank, avoiding proprietary batteries that are costly and hard to replace. This simple design choice improves long-term value.

Temperature Range Versatility

Sub-Zero Performance as Inner Layer

As an inner layer, the WESMART heated jacket on Kickstarter is built for extreme cold, handling -20°C (-4°F) with appropriate outerwear.

Standalone Use in Moderate Cold

Worn alone, it’s ideal for temperatures between 5°C and 10°C—perfect for autumn hikes, morning walks, and travel transitions.

No-Heat Option for Spring and Autumn

When temperatures rise above 10°C, the vest functions perfectly without heating, extending its usefulness far beyond winter.
