I have a pacemaker, should I be concerned with magnets?
Magnets (like the magnetic fields from cell phones) may potentially interfere with pacemakers and similar medical devices. Although there have been no reported issues regarding this matter, if you have a pacemaker or similar medical device and choose to wear a product with magnets, you do so at your own risk. We assume no liability for injury or death due to a possible malfunction of any medical device. Please contact your physician for additional information and specific questions relating to magnets and your pacemaker or medical device. We have created a few garments without magnets so please contact us for our current list of these magnet-free items.

Will products with magnets affect my phone, credit card or hotel key?
We have tested our magnets on both credit cards and memory cards, and we have not experienced any issues with them.

To access anything that may have gotten caught up in this pocket, just follow the instructions below:
- First, you will need to put your hand in the handwarmer pocket.
- Move your hand up the jacket until you reach the top of the lining.
- Move your hand over the dividing line to the inside of the jacket liner.
- When you move your hand down towards the bottom of your jacket, you should be able to retrieve the lost item.
