The jacket is made with a special heat-conductive carbon fiber material that works in conjunction with the [removable batteries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heated-apparel-collection) inside. The Omni-Heat Electric Squall Jacket has three adjustable heat levels as well as electric icons that tell you which setting it's currently running on. Even with the unpredictable weather, most Omni-Heat jackets like this one are lined with an [insulating thermal reflective layer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shackleton-fuchs-down-jacket) to keep the body's heat regulating so you can stay outdoors for longer periods of time. Though the jacket is [waterproof](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nano-puff-jacket), it should be noted that the batteries must be removed prior to washing.
