Can I Take a Heated Jacket on a Plane?

Before answering this question, it’s important to understand TSA regulations regarding heated jackets and their batteries.

Venustas heated jackets are powered by rechargeable batteries, available in 4 capacities: 4800mAh, 5000mAh, 7200mAh, and 10,000mAh. All of these fall well below the 100Wh threshold, meaning they are safe to pack in both carry-on and checked luggage.

Can I Wear a Heated Jacket on a Plane?

Many people wonder: If I can bring a heated jacket on a plane, can I also wear it during the flight?

While you can wear a heated jacket on a plane, you cannot turn it on during the flight.

According to airline regulations, power banks and similar battery-powered devices are not allowed to be used onboard. This is because lithium batteries can pose a fire risk at high altitudes, where the cabin environment may increase the chance of overheating or combustion.

So, while it’s perfectly fine to fly with your heated jacket, you’ll need to keep it powered off during the flight.

That said, heated jackets are safe to use in normal conditions. If you have concerns about their safety, check out our detailed article: Are Heated Jackets Safe?

What Should I Do If I Want to Take a Heated Jacket on a Plane?

Preparation Tips

• Check your airline’s regulations before your flight to ensure there are no specific restrictions.

Before Boarding

• If you're wearing the heated jacket at the airport, you’ll need to remove it at the security checkpoint and place it on the conveyor belt for screening.

• While airlines generally don’t restrict clothing, heated jackets contain wires and batteries, which require additional security checks.

• Alternatively, you can pack the jacket in your checked luggage and carry the battery in your carry-on bag. This method often helps save time during security screening.
