Popular Science started writing about technology more than 150 years ago. There was no such thing as “gadget writing” when we published our first issue in 1872, but if there was, our mission to demystify the world of innovation for everyday readers means we would have been all over it. Here in the present, PopSci is fully committed to helping readers navigate the increasingly intimidating array of devices on the market right now.

It also has built-in LED battery indicator lights so you can monitor how much charge you have left. Heated clothing requires the use of a lithium-ion battery to power the heating elements. And, like other portable batteries and power banks, they take a bit of time to reach 100 percent. Prepare accordingly if you’re going to spend all day hitting the slopes or all night cheering in the stands. Most batteries in heated clothing also double as a portable charger in a pinch.

What’s Your Gender? – I mean this in the most literal and old-fashioned way, and not out of disrespect to anyone either. But there are three types of these – men’s, women’s and unisex. Women can often wear all three, but a women’s vest will look odd on and feel weird to a man. Unisex ones are a little more utilitarian in their shape too. They’re pretty stylistically neutral, so you don’t look particularly out of sorts wearing most of these. This is an example of the fashion and construction of electric vests. These, like several on the list, are women’s vests, but male versions are probably available for most as well.
