Description
Provide heat to give complete warmth to the body when working in cold conditions.
The Northern Diver ‘Electracore’ heated vest has been designed and manufactured with your comfort and warmth in mind. The three heat settings allow you to pick a temperature that suits you and if it happens that you want to raise or lower the temperature, the switch has been positioned in an easy to reach position to the left of your midriff – ensuring that even when you’re wearing your suit, the button remains easy to access.
The ‘Electracore’ was originally designed and developed for use by the UK Ministry of Defence and is constructed to the highest quality. It has been made using a flexible 3.0mm black neoprene shell along with a snug fleece inner lining maintaining comfort for the user, whilst also insulating and reflecting the heat back on to the body, so even if the vest is turned off, there will still be noticeable thermal benefits. The colour of the On/Off button will identify the heat of the vest. With up to a ten-hour run time, the included ‘Smart’ Lithium-Ion battery will last for several dives/uses.
Smart Lithium-Ion battery included. The built in heat panels are waterproof, CE approved and conforms to EN 61000-6-1:2019, EN 61000-6-3:2007/A 1 :2011/AC:2012. There are 3 heat panels in total, located on the upper and lower back to keep critical organs warm.
PLEASE NOTE
- The battery (included) is not 100% waterproof. This garment has been designed to be worn underneath a dry suit when being used in and around water. If drysuit floods with water the system should be switched off, the dive aborted and the batteries removed.
- Take care when extracting the output lead from the pocket, it is not designed to be greatly extended and will cause damage to the lining of the pocket if pulled too far.
Why use a heated vest?
- Working efficiency increases
- Working safety increases
- Mobility is better (no need to wear multiple layers)
- Comfort increases
- Even though you don’t move, you feel warm

Reviews
Quick Delivery, Excellent Product
By James (via Trustpilot Jan '24) on Jan 10, 2024
Ordered the rechargeable heated vest. Worked really well on a cold water (10 degrees) dive in Jan. had it on the highest setting and lasted around 40 mins. To be honest it could have been put on the next level down. Really happy. Quick delivery excellent product.
Brilliant piece of kit for the price
By Steve Merrick on Apr 18, 2022
First time using it after purchase a while ago. Excellent kit, certainly the edge off the cold and keeps you warm. Hands still slightly cool after a 40min dive in 10C on medium. Only real irritation is not being able to turn it in/know settings easily through the suit, you have to turn it in before you zip up and leave it. Would be good if button was a bit more promin/way to push and maybe vibrates with the different settings? Lasts all day though despite that and can top up easily on the surface interval. Well recommended.
ND Heated Vest - Fantastic value for money and great performance.
By Kev Cameron on Apr 13, 2022
BLUF - Only 4 of 5 stars because I am not sold on the switch mechanism which I am struggling to master through a dry suit and unable to judge which setting I am on once you can no longer see the colours - may be I need a more sensitive back. Got this as an experiment having seen friends with high end heat vests. I think it is perfect balance of performance and price for the recreational diver on a budget so despite my reservations about the switch, I would highly recommend one of these for anyone who feels the cold.
First time ordering from Northern Diver
By Amanda Mosley (via Trustpilot) on Jan 17, 2022
First time ordering from Northern Diver, new to scuba diving my dive club recommended Northern Dive for clothing/equipment etc. Ordered a heated vest which is an amazing piece of kit definitely worth the money.
Great as always
By Jan-Willem Berends (via Trustpilot) on Dec 6, 2021
As always, the products of Northern diver are perfect. I'd expected to receive my heated vest late because of Brexit, but it only took four days, so that was great! The vest itself is excellent and warm :-)
A brilliant find
By Tina Conlon (via Trustpilot) on Nov 29, 2021
Heated jacket was a brilliant find and stays warm on low for about 6 hours, use it for dog walking on cold winter mornings...company delivery service was great.
Purchased electrocore 3mm rechargeable…
By Kevin Cronin (via Trustpilot) on Nov 29, 2021
Purchased electrocore 3mm rechargeable heater vest. Visited a snowy Stoney Cove & dived for 45 minutes at 25m at 6%. Toasty & warm all day. This is a real game changer at a very affordable price. In short it’s the essential bit of kit you didn’t know you needed. Do not think about it, just buy it! You will not regret it.

By David (via Trustpilot) on Jun 14, 2021
Easy to buy from. Quick to arrive. was contacted by customer services to advise me on sizing of vest. Ordered extra large which was spot on. Thanks a lot.
Excellent Product by Northern Diver
By Pete Littlesosage on May 7, 2021
I cannot recommend this heated vest enough, myself and my fellow club friends have all ordered these heated vests over the past few weeks and we cannot stop raving about them. The inner shell is very soft and the outer nylon feels robust. The main thing is the heating elements keep me toasty in cold conditions which i wanted. There are other expensive alternatives on the market but why would you choose them when you can get one for £89.00
