Venus Venus - 22/12/2007 
I have had nothing but trouble from the heated vest. I have had four cans and none of them have worked properly:
Thinking that this was finally the answer to my getting so cold in the UK, I booked a one day trip to Swanage three UK trips liveaboards over the summer.
CAN 1) at Swanage the can leaked on dive one and I was freezing cold on dive two. I sent it back and it was agreed that the can was faulty.
CAN 2) + CAN 3) my replacement for can 1 had not arrived in time for my next trip. So I met the Typhoon rep at Winchester services on my way to the Scillies for a weeks liveaboard.
This was not on my way. I had to make a 40 mile detour to meet him. He gave me his demo bag which contained two cans. These cans were both faulty. Sometimes they worked and then stopped working after a few minutes. sometimes they did not work at all. An electrician on board tested them with his probes and deduced that the cables were broken and even though the batteries were fine the power was not getting through to the vest.
The following weekend I went to Lundy and took the same cans with me. Again they did not work for all the three days.
Then two weeks later a liveaboard to Plymouth. Again the same problems.
All this time I was calling Typhoon for my replacement cans.
Then I got a call from the rep who desperately required his demo kit back. I couriered then back to him.
CAN 4) my replacement had finally arrived. I noticed something different. The inside lid of the can had been potted. I thought great this is going to work. So I took it on my trip to the Galapagos last month. Same problem. It worked then went off after a few minutes. If I fiddled with the cable it came back on. Once again it seems that the cables are broken inside and no power is getting through to the vest.
I am so fed up with this now. I have been on four liveaboards where people have seen e suffer as a result of your product.
I don\'t like getting cold, that is why I spend ?499 on your product. It is not fit for purpose because it does not work.
Within my club whenever we talk about keeping warm I tell them exactly what problems I have had with your product.
