Are Heated Jackets Safe to Wear in the Rain?

by GOKOZYHeated Apparel on Jul 21, 2025

Heated jackets are a favourite among outdoor enthusiasts and commuters who want to stay warm without bulky layers. But one common question remains: what happens when it rains? If your heated jacket gets wet, is it still safe—and will it still work?

Are Heated Jackets Waterproof?

Most heated jackets are not fully waterproof, but many are water-resistant. This means they can handle light rain, mist, or snow without short-circuiting. Jackets from brands like GOKOZY use tightly woven outer shells and coated fabrics that repel moisture, while still allowing breathability.

It’s important to note the difference:

  • Water-resistant: Protects against light moisture
  • Waterproof: Designed for heavy rain or immersion

Unless the label specifically says “waterproof,” assume your jacket is best suited for drizzle, not downpours.

Can You Wear a Heated Jacket in Light Rain?

Yes—many heated jackets are safe to wear in light rain. The heating elements are typically insulated and placed between protective fabric layers, so they won’t shock you if exposed to moisture. That said, prolonged exposure to rain can eventually seep through the material.

If you’re planning to be out in unpredictable weather, wear a waterproof shell over your heated jacket. This gives you both warmth and protection from heavy rain without risking the jacket’s electronics.

What About the Battery?

The battery is the most vulnerable component when it comes to water. While the jacket itself might resist rain, battery ports and connections must stay dry to prevent short circuits.

Power Pocket Protection: Practical and Rain-Resistant

Most high-quality heated jackets feature a designated inner pocket to hold the power bank securely. These battery pockets are often protected with zippers, flaps, or water-repellent fabric to help minimize moisture exposure around the connection port. While not fully waterproof, this thoughtful design helps safeguard your electronics during light rain or damp conditions.

What to Do If Your Heated Jacket Gets Wet

  • Turn it off and remove the battery immediately
  • Let it air dry completely before using again
  • Never tumble dry or expose to direct heat sources

If water gets into the battery area, dry it with a towel and leave it open until no moisture remains. Do not plug the battery back in until you’re sure it’s 100% dry.

Tips for Using a Heated Jacket in Wet Weather

  • Layer with a waterproof shell on top
  • Keep a spare battery in a sealed, waterproof pouch
  • Use the jacket on low or medium settings to avoid heat buildup in humid conditions

Final Thoughts

Heated jackets offer great comfort and warmth, even in less-than-perfect weather. While they aren’t built for downpours or full submersion, many models can easily handle drizzle, snow flurries, and damp days. With a few smart precautions—like using a waterproof outer layer or checking your battery placement—you can enjoy your heated jacket safely, even when the skies turn grey.
