"The Summit Heated Vest has 2 ways to adjust the temperature. First, the built-in waterproof touch control button. With a simple button push, it lets you choose from 4 instant heat settings with multi-colored LED indicator."

Oh yes, we don't use the bluetooth functionality at all. Everything on the vest is button-operated.
