Typhoon Icebreaker

Icebreaker

This award winning product keeps you warm even in extreme cold conditions. The system warms to 42c using a 12 volt battery and keeps the core body temperature warm. Its unique design guarantees that it is completely safe, even when totally immersed in water. Stitched into each of the front and back pads is an intelligent polymer containing thousands of conductive particle chains. This unique fabric means that there are no electrical components in the suit and it could be completely soaked and still function properly. The unit is powered by a single 4AMP Lithium Ion cell, which is simply mounted on the BCD belt or cylinder. There is enough power to keep you warm for approximately 70 minutes on one charge. The current is so low it makes the Icebreaker extremely safe as there is insufficient power to allow the panels to heat above 42 degrees so no chance of getting burnt and no need for controls. Fitting is simple, a waterproof connector socket is fitted into a 13mm hole cut in the dry suit. The outside of the fitting has a two pin wet connector that can be safely plugged in or out when wet, even underwater. A 1 metre leash attaches to the battery and plugs into the connector when needed, simple and safe!

Review I have had nothing but trouble from the heated vest. I have had four battery cans and none of them have worked properly: Thinking that this was finally the answer to my getting so cold in the UK, I booked a one day trip to Swanage three UK trips liveaboards over the summer. CAN 1) at Swanage the can leaked on dive one and I was freezing cold on dive two. I sent it back and it was agreed that the can was faulty. CAN 2) + CAN 3) my replacement for can 1 had not arrived in time for my next trip. So I met the Typhoon rep at Winchester services on my way to the Scillies for a weeks liveaboard. This was not on my way. I had to make a 40 mile detour to meet him. He gave me his demo bag which contained two cans. These cans were both faulty. Sometimes they worked and then stopped working after a few minutes. sometimes they did not work at all. An electrician on board tested them with his probes and deduced that the cables were broken and even though the batteries were fine the power was not getting through to the vest. The following weekend I went to Lundy and took the same cans with me. Again they did not work for all the three days. Then two weeks later a liveaboard to Plymouth. Again the same problems. All this time I was calling Typhoon for my replacement cans. Then I got a call from the rep who desperately required his demo kit back. I couriered then back to him. CAN 4) my replacement had finally arrived. I noticed something different. The inside lid of the can had been potted. I thought great this is going to work. So I took it on my trip to the Galapagos last month. Same problem. It worked then went off after a few minutes. If I fiddled with the cable it came back on. Once again it seems that the cables are broken inside and no power is getting through to the vest. I am so fed up with this now. I have been on four liveaboards where people have seen e suffer as a result of your product. I don't like getting cold, that is why I spend £499 on this product. It is not fit for purpose because it does not work. Within my club whenever we talk about keeping warm I tell them exactly what problems I have had with this product.
