Heated vest, options?

[Diverlee]

Do all of them have an option to turn on and off while under water?
I start getting cold after 30i minutes. I can wear thicker under garments but then I can hardly move! I really considering a heater but want to make a wise choice
Plus I do occasionally dive in water 40 degrees.
I don't dive in the ocean much in the winter because I freeze. Looking for a heated best I can use wet or dry. If I have to by two different ones then so be it.
Thanks for any suggestions

I think Golem Gear is the only one with an external - to the drysuit - battery that has On/Off + Low/Med/High settings. Many, including GG, come with EO electrical plugs which allow you to unplug to turn off and plug-in to turn on, giving you one heat setting. Many of us have tried, and still use, the heated vests designed for motorcycle use, which have to be turned on before you zip up your suit.

Light monkey has a controller that allows various settings a high, med, low if you will.

The old standard was just unplug via wet mate cord to turn off / on.

I cut out the controller on my motorcycle vest. I use the switch on my can to turn on or off the vest. 2 cans with e/o's.

Lola.cz is in Czech Republic, Europe.

I have used Lola heating vest, drysuit inflator with electric wire and primary light.

Positive things: On/Off, Low-Med-High -power setting of vest is on top of battery canister, the light head is compact, reasonable price.
Negative points: drysuit inflator can freeze open in subzero conditions, metal shell battery canister is heavy, you might experience language barrier with the company.

As a summary I have dived quite happy with it.
