Bosch Heated Jacket GHJ12V-20 2021

After 7-1/2″ years, Bosch is finally coming out with an updated heated jacket, model GHJ12V-20.

And yes, the new Bosch 12V Max heated jackets will be launching in the USA, with early shipping ETAs of mid-December.

The new Bosch heated jackets are also being discounted at the moment; Bosch’s $20 off $100+ seasonal promo looks to work on all sizes.

The new Bosch GHJ12V-20 heated jackets are said to feature an enhanced modern design

Bosch also says that their new 12V heated jackets feature:

  • Lighter and more flexible materials
  • Larger pockets
  • Strategically-placed heating elements

This is in comparison to Bosch’s previous generation heated jacket, which launched in 2013.

Bosch says:

There is no need to layer with this warm jacket, due to three powered heating zones and a rugged outer shell that’s wind and water resistant.

The heating zones are in the chest (2) and lower back (1).

Discussion

The new Bosch GHJ12V-20 heated jacket is said to be made from lighter and more flexible materials compared to their older model, but there are no details regarding the weight or insulation level of the new jackets.

There are also no details regarding runtime for the included 2Ah battery.

When they say larger pockets, they’re not kidding – there’s a full document pocket on the inside panel.

    The old coat was great. I only pull it out if it’s below 0 and even than I don’t use the heat unless there is no sun.

    I have the original coat and I would rate it 3/5 stars. I don’t live in a northern climate so having a lighter coat that has the heat option makes sense since it’s cold in the am and usually heats up mid-day. I basically use it to take the chill off. However the main zipper being on the opposite side and letting go a few times has been an irritant. Also, I fell like the original coat’s ergomincs/cut left a lot to be desired when sitting in my truck-it snags across the back and bunches at the neck. Plus hand-washing isn’t as conveniemt as toss in the machine.
