Cleaning heated vest

[horpensky]

Any advice on proper cleaning of a heated vest or other heated gear? My vest didn't come with any specific instructions. I'd rather throw it into the washer and dryer vs hand wiping and cleaning, but had concerns about getting water into the electrical components, especially the USB/power connector to the battery. I know with some gear they just say zip the battery pocket/compartment up, but my pocket certainly doesn't seem waterproof.

What i do with my pnuma is just put it in a tub with some detergent. Swish it around, and soak it, swish it, rinse it and hang dry. Idk what the right way is but I figured this was safe

I have used the wash machine and dryer many times on my milwaukee vest, it says you can in the manual

Are the battery connectors exposed in the Milwaukee jackets?

Dry clean?

I definitely don't recommend that

Just the cord plug that is in the jacket
