Jartoo Carbon Nanotube Heated Blanket

Nice features. I like that one can lay on top of it.

Right on. I agree. Thanks for commenting

My wife and I both own electric vests and now (after Christmas) my wife will own a pair of electric gloves as well. The older we get, the more we enjoy our comforts. I can understand and appreciate the benefits of an electric blanket for camping especially when car camping. I am no electrician but I am guessing that if a blanket was powered directly by a 12 volt source, it should be more electrically efficient than using 110 AC as the source. If I understand correctly, this blanket converts the supplied electricity from 110 AC to 24 volt DC. If the blanket was designed to use 12 volt DC, it would not have to convert from AC. I believe that there is efficiency lost through the conversion though I do not know this for a fact. Anyway the blanket looks/sounds like a pretty decent one as it is.

Hi Lonnie. I now have three heated garments and find I use the vest and softshell jacket the most. The third is a nice fleece but I don't wear it as often. I would have preferred this blanket to be 12V as you say, it would be much more energy efficient. As it is, it operates on 24V. The company did tell me they were working on a 12V variant and I would be most interested in testing that. Thanks for commenting and Merry Christmas

I’ve just found your channel and I’ve really been enjoying your videos. I like your presentation style and you have a great voice.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Thank you for your kind words

A 120v blanket will always consume more power from a generator compared to a 12 V . That’s because of the DC to AC conversion. As far as functionality, there are a few manufacturers that offer the same features of your 120V blanket but function at 12V . Your BLUETTI will last longer.

Thanks for watching Michael

That looks quite comfy 👍

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Very much so. Thanks for commenting

[@davidwalker2942]

Very interesting, especially in light of emergency use during power outages. Have you tried measuring the power usage when a person is lying on, under, or wrapped in it? Does the power use increase significantly when used at outdoor winter ambient temperatures? Regards.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

It is hard to quantify power usage when wrapped up in it but it should consume less power as body heat adds to the overall heat and causes the thermostat to turn the blanket off sooner. Again, it will draw more energy in the cold as it has to work harder to maintain the set temperature. For this reason, it is best to use it under another blanket. Thanks for commenting

Leaving a warm comment for the algorithms……..😬✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦✌️

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

always appreciated

[@charliemcdowell5231]

This looks awesome! What will the cost be?

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

You will need to check the Kickstarter link for more information. Thanks for commenting

Good review but never understood and electric or chemical heating. Just layer and use down.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

With down or any other insulation you can't get warmer than what your body will generate. If you are active you can generate more heat. If you are not moving, as in sleeping, and you are not already warm, it will be much harder to warm up. I would not rely on electric heat only but it can be a great addition to what ever strategy you are using. Thanks for commenting

@@MarkYoungBushcraft I worked on the railroad outside for 30 yrs and during winter at below 0 F degrees, many times without moving much and layers never let me down, always warm. And most people sleep sound all night at well below 0 F in sleeping bags without problem. Then again even at 73 I have no circulatory problems where maybe electric blankets would work
