I was so disappointed when my medium jacket turned out to be far too small. I have sent it back and hope to order a large one as soon as I can get a refund. However I did switch it on and it worked really well and I have recommended it to others.
This gilet was bought as a present and the recipient was very pleased with the item! It fits very nicely, heats up quite quickly and the battery has a reasonable life when in use.
This is the best purchase I’ve made this winter so far. No worries about putting my heating on during the day because this gilet has warmed me through. Outdoors I wear it under a coat and I’m toasty. Excellent product and have recommended to all my family and friends. One detail I’ve noticed is that the price has shot you since I bought mine a week ago?
This has been a ‘life saver’ over the last few days of sub-zero temperatures. It provides good heat on the low setting and the heat in the collar takes away neck and shoulder tension that often comes with the cold. I’ve used it for dog walking and also plan to use it for playing golf in extreme winter conditions. If the cost of gas/electricity continues to rise I will consider wearing it whilst at home and turning the thermostat down a degree or two!
I wear this every day for dog walking and just generally going out in the cold. It’s fitted enough to wear underneath another jacket/coat for an extra boost of heat. In spring and autumn, it’s the only top layer I need and now I’m wearing it under coats. I’ve bought one for both of my parents and can’t recommend it highly enough. Like wearing an electric blanket – mmmm!
There were some teething problems but, in communication with the supplier, we eliminated some possibilities and the problem turned out to be due to the battery which was promptly replaced (within a couple of days). After that, all is well: the garment warms up quickly and can be set to different heating levels. Overall, we are pleased with purchase. Customer service responded quickly and efficiently.
Bought this exactly 2 years ago and am very happy with the purchase and durability. After 2 years, it still functions perfectly and the battery still holds its charge well. There are cheaper alternatives out there, however, in my opinion it is worth spending a little extra, to get a high quality and durable item such as this. Saves on heating bills too!
I’m so happy with my gilet. We are having major building works on our house and we currently have no heating or insulation. This jacket makes life comfortable. It’s brilliant. Highly recommended.
Bought for my wife – what can I say – it keeps her warm the battery last a long time – you need to charge for a long time but surely thats expected – reasonable price – came with all connections – good buy
Unfortunately the heating feature on the vest broke after a few months but after messaging the seller, they replied to me instantly and had another sent out. Amazing product and customer service, i cannot fault them!
Great heated jacket, kept me warm and snug in the winter months in my studio. Love the warmth it gives to your neck. Had to order bigger size than normal, however very impressed.
I am the sole carer for my husband who is severely disabled and over time my own health has suffered. Just over a month ago I was very ill with pleurisy and completely exhausted. I was in constant pain all around my ribcage back side’s and front which affected my breathing. I had been sitting with hot water bottles which helped a little bit but I had to keep moving it around my ribs and of course I had to remain seated while using it.
I thought I will have a look and see if there’s some sort of wrap around heated thing but the ones I saw were really more for lower back problems. I then decided to see if there was such a thing as a heated body warmer and was delighted to find there is! Again a lot of them were for lower back but then I came across this one which seemed to have the heat elements more on the ribcage. Yes it was expensive but I was desperate for something that would help so ordered It. It was the best decision I could have made as it has helped me enormously especially in the mornings when I am at my worst.
It’s lightweight comfortable and heats up quickly. The battery lasts for a few hours depending on what setting its on. I haven’t quite got the hang of the settings yet but even on the lowest it gives a gentle warming feeling. The battery charges quickly too. I feel if I hadn’t tried this body warmer I would still be suffering and although I’m still not better I feel a huge improvement and would not hesitate to recommend it.
I’ve had this jacket since October last year and have used it nearly every day since.
The jacket is nicely made and feels like a premium lightweight gilet in terms of look and feel. I consistently get well over five hours of battery life running on medium.
I found it’s really important for the jacket to be a snug fit to get good heat transfer to your body, so it’s worth spending time on the sizing charts to get it just right. It works best if you wear jacket over one or two thin base layers. If you need to, you can easily wear thicker outer layers over the top, as the jacket is light and not bulky. This works really well for me.
Love this, it’s lightweight, comfortable and fits really well. Heats up instantly and last a long time on medium/low setting. Definitely recommend this vest.
I’ve had the jacket for 3 years and it was an absolute game changer for enabling me to work outdoors in colder weather. Used it in all weathers. I would highly recommend the jacket, but would advise that you purchase a second battery.
We ordered a men’s and women’s vest and have found both excellent products. The vests are stylish and well made and the heating is excellent. We needed to exchange my wife’s size vest and the service we received was excellent. The team processed a return for me and posted the new vest so it arrived 24 hours later. Really pleased with our purchase, Ia
This product does warm you up but sadly if you move around too much the connector from the battery to the jacket can come out quite frequently. Sat or stood still outside and this will warm you up, just don’t move about too many times
This jacket is useless – I am not impressed the light on the battery pack lasts 10 seconds. Did I get a faulty one? I need to return this product. How do I do this.
Had this as a Christmas present. Which was great, as on boxing day my central heating broke down. Body warmer is true to size ( a lot of the unisex ones start at 40inch chest which is no good for small people). It warms up in a few seconds and stays warm. Feels a bit heavy when you first put it on but you get used to that when the heat comes on. Great item, i love it.
Good fit, looks really nice on, soft feel.
The back of the jacket heats up better than the front but that’s ok, still keeps me warm. The automatic thermostat seems to switch the jacket off before necessary so have to keep switching it back on.
This is one of the only gilets where the price includes the power pack so that’s good, but I think you can upgrade to a longer lasting power which would be a benefit.
All in all happy with my choice.
There was an issue with the battery, but customer support was excellent and replacement was sent within a couple of days. Jacket itself is well made and works well.
I have been using this to keep me warm when watching my children playing football – a time when there is little option but to stand still for hours on end and get very cold. I wanted something that could be worn over a layer or two but still fit under my thick coat. This fits perfectly. I am a UK size 12 (pushing 14) and a medium is quite a snug fit with a jumper underneath, but isn’t too tight.
The battery pack that comes with this (check that you select that option) charges quickly and last for several hours. It fits well in the pocket provided (and there are still 2 usable empty pockets) but is a little heavy. It’s not a problem though.
The overall warmth provided is excellent. I am the most smug parent on the touchline these days.
I work in a cold environment so this has been a game changer. Worth every penny. My co workers were so impressed with mine, they’ve all bought one. Would say charge overnight as it takes a while to fully charge. Adjustable temperature which is good. I got a large as they are quite neat.
It’s a well made product and comfortable to wear but after an initial feeling of warmth it doesn’t feel any warmer than just wearing an normal gilet. Having said that it’s a useful addition to wear under a coat in cold conditions.
Bought it for my missus as a Christmas present. The size is just right for the her (i bought size S). It came with a power bank which i think is 10k mAh. Quite straightforward, connect the power bank to the cable at the side of the vest and click on the “start” button which is located inside the vest. Personally, i like it that the button is in the inside of the vest instead of outside like the other similar vests that you can find in here. I just thought it was a bit odd to walk around with a light on your vest – like Iron Man. But that is just me.
In short, it looks good and the heat is alright according to the missus. We will try it this weekend when we go for our Christmas shopping. Till then…
I bought this for my husband……he really likes it and was very pleased with the quick service! It’s just what he needs for watching our kids outdoors football during these cold winter days and night and while he hasn’t used it for golf yet he said that he could do very easily if the weather gets much colder as it is lightweight and a good fit. I purchased a medium for him which was in line with his normal sizing.
It is very simple to use and the quality of the product is good. With one press of the button the gilet heats up very quickly and the three heating settings are great and very easily adjusted. My husband said that it was well worth the money paid and he would have no hesitation in recommending it to his friends. All in all we are very pleased with this purchase!
I like the quality, feel, size and fit of this. Super comfortable (slept in it while camping last weekend) and being sleeveless is great – I wore it under another smarter slim-fit jacket while sitting outside in the evening for 5h last week). It keeps noticably warm for 4-5 hours (set on high using the button on the inside chest) with the supplied power pack. It does seem to regulate itself if it thinks it’s getting too warm. No reason I can see why other power packs (or a usb plug) wouldn’t power it – but havn’t tried that – although most packs are larger and so wouldn’t fit in the special pocket (LH side just to back of side seam).
Tempted to get one for my elderly mother who thinks putting the heating on is a waste, but then suffers from back pain because she’s too cold …
I’m a size 14 and measured chest size to work out size – the measurements are right. Remember to add cm if you’re planning on wearing layers under it.
I looked at a few reviews before ordering, I didn’t want a cheap one I wanted a good quality one.
I’m definitely pleased with it, the packaging is great, would make a great gift.
The quality is brilliant, I wear it just as an ordinary gilet, you’d never know it was heated, it’s very soft and comfortable.
I’ve worn it for 4-5 hours without the battery running out.
I’d definitely recommend this gilet, and I have.. to lots of friends!
I bought medium because I wear it over a thin jumper. I’m 5.10 size 12
I am a very cold person. Persuaded myself to risk what I consider a lot of money of this purchase. It does not disappoint.
The body warmer comes in a branded bag with power bank and plug. There is a secret pocket to store the power bank while wearing. The warmer is lightweight and true to size. It has three heat settings and the battery last me a whole shift at work. I don’t need it on high. The heat elements are in the neck, back, chest and tummy areas.
This is the best gadget I’ve found since getting an electric toothbrush 20years ago. Love it!
Recommended it to colleagues and have so far been asked to order 4 more.
Get one! You will be overjoyed and most importantly snuggly, warm
Bought for the wife she says it’s great and heats up fast , she had one size up so a hoodie could be fitted underneath but don’t go too big as you need to keep the body warmer close to the skin as possible or you won’t feel the hea
No problem with the product at all. It works well, is comfortable to wear and I am delighted. Two small things to point out. The little on-off switch on the power pack does not seem to be mentioned sufficiently in the instructions and the instructions are not quite accurately translated into English. But not a real problem. Thank you for a great product.
I had to write a review on this product I don’t normally review stuff I buy from amazon, but this is worth so far every penny , I don’t have a lot of money so buying this to me was making a massive gamble and I am so glad it paid off, I ride a motor bike and I am the world’s biggest girl when comes to riding in the cold ,when I brought this there was a morning frost -1 ,got ready like normal turned the vest on and went , it heated up very quickly,around the neck and back was toastie and the front part was just has good ,I would recommend thos to anyone has now I get off my bike I feel like the lad off the TV advert readybrek I am all glowing and warm lol
Very comfortable, snug fit, ordered XL, battery pack supplied has usb connections to the garment and usb c for charging. Comes with a mains adapter. Used for work today medium power for 6 hrs still a bit left on the battery pack. Nice warm and cosy.
This jacket is really good for them cold days, the customer service is very good quick to answer any questions and fix the problems
Would definitely recommend this when you need that extra warmth, also when you need something fixed months down the line and there is no hesitation on their part today thank you
She eventially used it because she couldn’t get warm I was called to be told “what ever you paid for that it was worth every penny”. This has become an enabler for my elderly mother for being outside in the winter and she is genuinely delighted with it.
This is a 5 star review for the product and for the supplier. I wear this gilet every day for walking my dogs in cooler weather. It warms up very quickly and keeps your back, front and neck warm. It’s also lovey to wear without the power on as a body warmer. I had a problem with mine not turning on a couple of weeks ago and I have to say, I am really pleased with the responsiveness and proactivity of Jenny. She was clear with her questions and sent photos to help me follow her instructions. She diagnosed the issue and sent out a replacement battery. The old battery still charges phones and iPads but wouldn’t power the gilet. Thank you Jenny for your support!
I wanted to wait before I reviewed this item, due to COVID I haven’t been able to wear this vest until recently. Since wearing it I have been very impressed. It is very comfortable and has kept me warm when I have been out on a cold evening training my team. It is warm in all places it shows on the diagram. I would not be without it.
Love my heated bodywarmer! I work in a nursery and spend a lot of my day outside in poor and cold weather and this has been a lifesaver this last winter. The pack usually lasts for a couple of days use on and off before needing a recharge. I don’t tend to have it switched on for extended periods of time so I can make the battery last but when we had very cold snowy weather and was using more it still lasted a full day.
It is comfortable to wear both as the only outer layer or under a coat (it does add bulk so wouldn’t work under a very snug fit coat or jacket). I also like the fact its easy to wipe clean or spot clean areas as I wouldn’t want to risk washing it.
I bought this heated vest for my wife who experiences chronic health issues. She can now sit outside for some fresh air whilst keeping warm in the Winter months. She sometimes puts it over her legs on teh sofa and in the night sometimes uses it if getting up.
Very versatile, especially having 3 different heat settings.
Conqueco were also very kind and friendly in sorting out an initial problem with the battery.
This has to be my favourite purchase for a long time. It has kept me cosy all winter – such a nice thing to put on a bit of heat when you’re feeling a chill! Totally worth the slightly high price tag. If I could buy it again I would. Love i
We’re so pleased with this Gilet. Its excellent for using on our motorbike, keeps you tasty for hours in very cold conditions. Also as we ordered the wrong size, Jenny has been brilliant in exchanging it for a larger size. Helpful, fast and no problems at all, well done indeed. I’ve been telling all my biker friends about it too, no plug in wires, simple and easy to use, and stylish to boot. Particularly like the heated collar, but this is something that can be used when out walking, working in a freezer, or like us on the bike. Highly recommended purchase.
This body warmer is super soft and very comfy to wear. I have only had it a couple of days and so far I’ve had no issues.
I’ve worn it over thinner jumpers and hoodies and under my normal jackets and it didn’t feel at all bulky.
It heats the back of your neck, middle back and front well and a I suffer from reynauds (always cold) it is great for keeping me at a steady temperature. The two pockets are warm too.
I’m a ladies size 16, top half, generally and I often buy an 18 but this really needs to be snug to hug the warmth against you. I initially sent for an XL but it gaped across my back and lost heat so I sent for a L and it fits me perfectly with room for movement as the material is a bit stretchy.
I’ve read about the confusion over batteries. Weirdly my first body warmer, the XL, came with a conqueco battery and no charger but it would have fitted an old style Samsung charger. My second body warmer came with a charger and a random battery. As I had already charged the first battery I plugged it into the second body warmer to try it and, although it plugged in fine, it wouldn’t work. So maybe there is something in the comments about it only working with its own battery. I’ll test that theory later as I’ve ordered another power bank to use with it. I suppose that’s my only slightly negative comment I only got about 4 hours out of the battery yesterday and then it takes hours to charge. However, even without the heating element this is a really lovely and warm piece of clothing. I really do recommend it.
Got this for my mother at Christmas. Excellent feed back, she’s using it daily as she’s got bad arthritis in her back. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a lite warm heating vest.
I am very pleased with my purchase. The gilet is well made, cosy and lightweight. I bought a size small and it fits snug against me. I can wear it over jumpers and under a coat. It heats up really quickly and is easy to charge. Would certainly recommend.
I wear sizen12 clothing i brought a size medium jacket. Its a loose fit which I don’t mind I can wear a thick jumper underneath. If you wanted a more fitted jacket its best to buy a smaller size. I like that its lightweight. It feels comfortable under my coat and not bulky. I brought one for my daughter and son-law and recommended it to friends and family also a friend and her sister that works at an outdoor market. The price is also brilliant. I am 11stones 5ft 5inchs tall
I bought this for added warmth on my motorbike – but use it now whenever i’m out for my socially distanced walk/exercise. It is toasty warm and normally only need to have it on the lowest setting. Love how it warms my neck too.
I suppose the only issue is how long it takes to fully charge – seems to take forever, but then i find it excellent, so never mind that bit.
Is actually quite warm without needing the heat on.
Love it!
Bought this for my wife for cold winter dog walks and she loves it. Great quality and looks really good too. A bit pricey but once it arrived and was put into action, it proved to be worth every penny.
Bought this for the wife, she’s a nurse and works early mornings and late nights and wears it every day to work, she has even worn it in the house. The wife is a size 10 and the small fits quite tight, but she loves it.
I ordered one of these jackets two years ago for my wife, who wore it skiing and then everywhere else. It heats you up beautifully according to her. I subsequently ordered one for my mum for Christmas and it worked but kept cutting off. I spoke to the seller and she arranged immediately for a replacement to be sent out. It arrived with a different connector in the jacket for linking to the battery pack, which was the same as the one in my wife’s. Therefore I surmise, ensure you get a jacket with a USB style connector rather than a 3.5mm jack. Excellent customer service though, so I have no complaints.
Mine arrived minus the charger & lead, but I wasn’t aware of this as I gave it as a gift @ Christmas. Yes you can purchase a suitable charger if you know what connection is on the power pack which the recipient of the gift didn’t! Then I discovered from other people who had made a purchase had experiences worse than mine ! IE they had been sent European chargers ( 2 pins ) so had to buy adapters.
Moral of the story — check what you have & if its not correct return it .
Love this. I got the small ladies and thought the for was perfect. Gears up really quick. However unfortunately it did stop working after a few weeks. Seems to be an issue with the power button as the battery would function to charge my phone. Disappointed but understandably all product have malfunctions now and again. I was not expecting such a positive customer service reply when I contact conqueco. Replied very promptly and even when I hadn’t replied they followed up with a reminder mail. Told me they would send me a replacement if I was happy with that. Replacement arrived very swiftly.
I’m so pleased I bought this item. I’ve used the heated vest quite a bit recently working on an outdoor event. It warms up immediately and lasts for approximately 4 hours when on maximum. I’ve been recommending it to lots of people. With a warm coat on top, it really keeps the heat in. Very impressed and would recommend 100%. I’m a ladies size 12 and bought the medium one. The fit was perfect.
These are lovely….. but the sizing is all wrong. The size guide supplied stated that i needed the Medium for my husband (who is a 42-44″ inch). When it arrived, it was tiny……. i measured the width from pit to pit and it was only 40″ across. I re-ordered the Large, which is a great fit, and allows a thick jumper underneath. Perfect.
Now, the problem is returning the original Medium one. I arranged my return, downloaded my returns labels to find that i had to arrange my own carrier. No problem. However, my returns label had a note “ATTENTION: your return contains lithium batteries, which are classified as Dangerous Goods and require special transportation handling”. There was also a separate “hazardous” label to be attached to the parcel that stated “Do not use postal operator”. So, no Royal Mail. I tried to arrange a returns through Collect Plus, Yodel, & Hermes…….. to no avail. I contacted Amazon Help, who advised trying UPS. I went to the UPS webpage, again filled in all the details, paid over 13.00 shipping via PayPal, only to get a message stating ” UPS internal security measures prevent the processing of this shipment”. Short of driving through to their warehouse in Fife, i don’t know how I’m supposed to return it.
In summary : these are not cheap gilets, so my advice is, if you’re not 100% sure you will be keeping this gilet, buy one where the battery is not included, so it’s easily returned. Batteries can be bought separately, from around 10-20 and have multiple uses, so if it’s not needed for the gilet, it can be used as a portable phone/ipad charger.
This thing is amazing. I haven’t shut up about it since it arrived.
The gilet in and of itself is really warm. I am ALWAYS COLD (yes – one of those). Turn on the heated battery and I’m fine almost anywhere. It’s super warm. Battery seems to last forever.
M fits a female size 10 comfortably.
My friends all laughed at first. Then we had to start meeting people outside … in November…! Who’s laughing now?! (It’s me. I’m laughing. From the my heated high horse.)
So I bought this jacket back in September and have waited to use it for two months before writing a review. I work in a 9000sq ft workshop. Most of the time I am building and doing carpentry so I’m quite warm even though the building is not heated or insulated. But when I stop to do more detailed work it is bitterly cold. I’ve gone three winters just layered up but couldn’t take another one.
I wouldn’t normally spend this much on clothing but I’m so glad I did. It’s a total game changer! The jacket heats up so quick. I only ever really put it on medium and it’s just perfect. I just don’t notice it’s cold anymore. I wish I’d got it three years ago.
There are a few cons. The battery is a bit cumbersome and if you leave it plugged into the cable in your pocket even when it’s off, I find it drains the battery so I have to unplug it to stop that. Not sure if that’s a fault or not.
Size wise, I am a pretty standard size 12. (36c) and a medium size is perfect.
This is the best gilet I have owned. A different make stopped working after only a few weeks. The long line slim fit is flattering, the heating button is disguised inside the vest and heats up quickly and stays on and warm for as long as needed. 3 variable heat settings. The supplier, Jenny, gave me great customer service as my battery developed a fault and kept switching off and without hesitation she sent me a new one which resolved the issue. Cannot recommend this gilet and Jenny enough. Thank you!
This item was given as a present to one who really feels the cold. It is ideal. Battery pack is long lasting and provides toasty warmth.
Power pack can be replaced as it’s removable and the connection is a standard usb.
The first heated vest I’ve had, so I can’t compare to more expensive ones, but this one is doing the job nicely. I’m a size 10/12 and a medium fits with room for jumpers underneath, although in hindsight I maybe should have got small as I don’t need as many jumpers now! I use it on my motorbike, under my jacket, and never really need it set on high – low or medium is enough. Looks nice too, nicer than the really cheap one I ordered and sent back. Would recommend.
I bought this for my wife and she used it every day during the winter as she works outside. We had an issue with the coat starting to switch off after 10min 11 months after buying it, got in touch with the seller and they were extremely helpful and sorted our problem out quickly, Five stars from me
I’ve used this daily since I bought it and I love it. Keeps me nice and warm while working outside. Can just about eek out 12 hours at the lowest heat but generally run it at medium for two or three hours in the morning and same in the evening. High heat only gives around 4 hours or so. Obviously works better under a jacket to help build up and keep the warmth.
When I first seen these I thought it just wouldn’t work I read some of the comments and made a decision and try it im glad I did its loverly and warm just the job i work in a sarny shop door never closed so i have to wear lots of layers but not with this beauty not bulky at all really comfortable and warm this will help me through the winter also when walking the dogs at 6 in the morning the only down thing is ive got to get the hubby one now does what is says on the tin oh and the battery not a problem at all fits in pocket ok doesn’t dig in thanks conqueco
Had a few little issues with battery but the supplier could not do enough to help me get this sorted with great communication and sending a new battery immediately thank you for all your help
Bought specifically for warming up after autumn lake swimming, it’s worked a treat!
Picture for the mens version doesn’t show that there a heating element in the collar, this is most welcome!!
Wearing over a T shirt and under a close fitting jacket meant it felt uber warm and quickly had my core temperature back up to normal despite 40minutes swimming in 12 degree water.
Quality seems good but possibly too early to be sure on this point, product is lightweight, of course the battery isn’t really light, but its fits nicely into its own pocket and doesn’t make the gilet feel unbalanced.
Overall really pleased so far.
I only got this very recently, but I am pleased. It’s comfy and stylish and fits very well. I ordered a small (my usual size) and it’s perfect. If I’d have ordered a size up as people suggested, it would have been too big. It’s easy to use and charge and the delivery was prompt. I’ve only worn it in the house so far on the high setting. It was very toasty. The power lasted for about 3.5 hours, as billed.
Update: I’ve had to contact the company on a couple of occasions since purchasing the vest and I must say, the customer service has been excellent. The issues were resolved both very quickly and efficiently.
Lovely quality and nice and cosy. Not bulky so perfect for me to wear under my coat if needs be when it looks like we’re going to be sitting outside more this winter. I do have Raynaud’s syndrome so I need all the help I can get! I’m glad I didn’t order a size up as suggested by somebody as the small size was plenty big enough. Great to have the battery pack included too.
Had tried two other brands previously but this was the best.
P.S. Two friends tried my jacket on while we were sitting outside on a cold evening and they both ordered one.
I originally bought one of these for my wife to wear whilst walking the dog. When I saw it I had to have one for riding my motorbike. I ride in all weathers and mainly at night when it is particularly cold and this jacket certainly keeps my core warm. I had considered the sleeved version but the collar on that model is a little too large for comfort with a helmet. A very well made item which, unlike cheaper versions, comes with its own large capacity battery and charger. The battery lives in its own pocket just behind the left jacket pocket and is unobtrusive when riding. Three heat settings to choose from.
Bought this for golf. Works a treat. If you’re like me and don’t like wearing a jacket, this is perfect. Got away with wearing polo, thin top, thin wind cheater + heated vest over top, lovely and cosy in middle setting in 20mph wind and -2 temperature. The heat flows throughout vest and keeps whole core warm.
The only improvement I would make would be to have small elements in or near pockets, it would then be perfect for golfers.
I ordered this at the beginning of December as a Christmas gift for my elderly mother. The product is top notch and she loves it. She rarely takes it off as it’s lightweight enough to wear indoors and when switched on, plenty warm enough for outside. There were some lengthy delays with delivery due to issues at customs, but the firm dispatched a second package (which I returned when they both arrived) and refunded the purchase price in full to compensate me for the inconvenience. I’d give them 5 stars for customer service and would definitely recommend them to anyone else.
I got this for my father as a bad leg has stopped him from being able to walk very far, this means he is on a mobility scooter and thus gets very cold when we go on walks together in winter. He also plays lawn bowls and the winter matches can be cold wet and windy affairs.
The material is very soft and nice to touch, the jacket heats up in about 5 minutes, he finds the highest setting to be the most beneficial. The jacket keeps him nice and warm and the long battery life is nice. When turning the jacket off, it retains its heat for a long time so I would suggest turning it off awhile before you will be finished with it.
All in all I am delighted that this jacket is working so well and can definitely recommend it. I also contacted the seller for a return as the first jacket I bought was too small and they were very prompt and helpful with their reply and service.
This vest feel reely good. I haven’t had it to long but seems really well made and I have to say the customer support team is the best I have ever expireanced. Super helpful and easy to get along with. Only thing I would change about this is in the jacket the connector is a dc plug I’d have liked to see a USB converter with it or just a USB plug so it can work with other battery’s. Other than that I’m really happy with it..
Some time later. Customer support is very helpful. I’m having an isusse with the cable on the vest. Hasn’t been sorted but the customer support is being very helpful to sort it out. The time diffrance is making take longer but I am confident we will sort it soon.
Bought for wearing on 12hr outside nightshift, -5 was Brilliant , even without heat on found it kept me warm. Three heat settings and it doesn’t need to be in full long , I did have a all in one suit on as well. Would recommend it’s a brilliant but of ki
Lovely soft and comfortable to wear. Purchased for my mum who always feels the cold. She wears it on the low setting which seems efficient to keep her cosy. Purchased another power pack so she can wear it for longer periods.
Standing watching football during the winter in 5 degrees with a strong wind can be not much fun. This heated gilet from CONQUECO addresses this problem beautifully. Worn as a mid-layer it is more than sufficient to keep the core temperature at a comfortable level. Set to a mid level for three hours only partially drained the battery so I have no reason to doubt the manufacturers claims regarding heat times. Size wise it’s quite a snug fit but this is desirable for this type of garment. Overall really pleased I took the plunge and purchased this item.
Loved this but had to return it because it was too big, I read a review from a lady who said she was a size 10 but needed a medium and so Being size 12 I thought I would need a size large. However I shall reorder this Gilet as soon as I know the other one has been received and this time I will order a medium
Super toasty is the way my Daughter described this on 1st use. She has a condition where she can’t control her body heat and gets hypothermia at the drop of a hat. Used in Snowdonia at the weekend and she said it’s the 1st time she’s been out and not felt cold.
Just bought another for my wife.
The tiniest thing to mention. The power pack that comes with it isn’t the one pictured.
I wasn’t sure if i needed the XL or the XXL. Bought the XXL and I’ve needed to return it and buy the XL (very easy free return).
I’m happy to buy the smaller size as the quality and heat off the larger one is very good. Would definitely recommend.
Bought for my husband……he is thrilled with it! Does exactly what he wants…..keeps him warm while playing golf on these cold days.
Lightweight which means he can wear his normal golf gear with the gilet without it restricting his swing, or making him feel ‘bundled up’.
Excellent piece of kit….his words!
This makes a huge difference. I am very sensitive to the cold, but with this vest under my down coat, I can go outside in the winter weather and feel completely comfortable. I like the ability to adjust the heat setting to suit the conditions. It’s easy as the control button is easily accessible inside the left front of the vest.
Firstly, I can say that this product, in terms of heating throughout the vest is excellent. It literally takes ten seconds to heat up and with a quick press of a button, change heat levels. In winter time for work, I’m subject to temperatures below 0′ and having tried this out for two days now, I can say that even at the lowest setting, this vest is extremely warm. The power bank given is also of good quality and a great addition that sets this vest apart from others because you have to purchase an external USB power bank separately.
The heat on low after 8 hours constant use only pulled down two bars on the battery pack, so it lasts well too. If you want it to last longer, simply use a larger power bank but be sure that its output is the same.
I have read in other comments that instructions and power bank were not added, which, if you have this, send it back because I got it all and you shouldn’t have to buy any extras. Also, in terms of heat distribution, it has been stated that heat is weaker on some spots. I kept a close eye on this and came to the conclusion that it was probably because there are two heat pouches on the front chest as opposed to just one of the back. This may be what you’re feeling.
For size, I purposely chose one to be virtually skin tight or just enough to fit over a layer of clothing. The reasoning behind this is, if you want to retain heat properly, a tightish fit is best with no gaps so the heat actually warms your vital organs instead of escaping, either over or under the jacket.
For me, this has only one CON and that is the fibrous stuffing in the actual jacket seems to be coming out of it. It’s very odd because it’s clearly well made and no stitching holes can be seen. I can only presume it’s some form of fault in the design that I’m unaware of and that the outer layered material used, allows the inner fibre to come through. I use this under my work clothes and is possibly the friction is charging the outer layer and literally pulling the fibrous innards out. This is the reason I’m unfortunately giving it four stars. I would go through the effort of sending it back to see if another one has the same issue, but given the time it would ultimately take to send back and receive a new version, and the fact that everything else is working great, I’ll hold on to it. If any other issues arise I will be sending it back.
I’ve been using this for a few days and am very happy with it. Simply charge the power pack which is included, plug it into the jacket in a special pocket and press the on button. Battery is a bit bulky but it’s ok. Keeps me comfortably warm and lasts for hours. I ordered a medium – I would usually order a small so they run slightly on the small size – I would order a size up.
I was so disappointed when my medium jacket turned out to be far too small. I have sent it back and hope to order a large one as soon as I can get a refund. However I did switch it on and it worked really well and I have recommended it to others.
This gilet was bought as a present and the recipient was very pleased with the item! It fits very nicely, heats up quite quickly and the battery has a reasonable life when in use.
This is the best purchase I’ve made this winter so far. No worries about putting my heating on during the day because this gilet has warmed me through. Outdoors I wear it under a coat and I’m toasty. Excellent product and have recommended to all my family and friends. One detail I’ve noticed is that the price has shot you since I bought mine a week ago?
This has been a ‘life saver’ over the last few days of sub-zero temperatures. It provides good heat on the low setting and the heat in the collar takes away neck and shoulder tension that often comes with the cold. I’ve used it for dog walking and also plan to use it for playing golf in extreme winter conditions. If the cost of gas/electricity continues to rise I will consider wearing it whilst at home and turning the thermostat down a degree or two!
I wear this every day for dog walking and just generally going out in the cold. It’s fitted enough to wear underneath another jacket/coat for an extra boost of heat. In spring and autumn, it’s the only top layer I need and now I’m wearing it under coats. I’ve bought one for both of my parents and can’t recommend it highly enough. Like wearing an electric blanket – mmmm!
I’m so happy with my gilet. We are having major building works on our house and we currently have no heating or insulation. This jacket makes life comfortable. It’s brilliant. Highly recommended.
Bought for my wife – what can I say – it keeps her warm the battery last a long time – you need to charge for a long time but surely thats expected – reasonable price – came with all connections – good buy
Unfortunately the heating feature on the vest broke after a few months but after messaging the seller, they replied to me instantly and had another sent out. Amazing product and customer service, i cannot fault them!
The person I bought it for says it’s great. She wears it under her coat and keeps her warm.
Great heated jacket, kept me warm and snug in the winter months in my studio. Love the warmth it gives to your neck. Had to order bigger size than normal, however very impressed.
I am the sole carer for my husband who is severely disabled and over time my own health has suffered. Just over a month ago I was very ill with pleurisy and completely exhausted. I was in constant pain all around my ribcage back side’s and front which affected my breathing. I had been sitting with hot water bottles which helped a little bit but I had to keep moving it around my ribs and of course I had to remain seated while using it.
I thought I will have a look and see if there’s some sort of wrap around heated thing but the ones I saw were really more for lower back problems. I then decided to see if there was such a thing as a heated body warmer and was delighted to find there is! Again a lot of them were for lower back but then I came across this one which seemed to have the heat elements more on the ribcage. Yes it was expensive but I was desperate for something that would help so ordered It. It was the best decision I could have made as it has helped me enormously especially in the mornings when I am at my worst.
It’s lightweight comfortable and heats up quickly. The battery lasts for a few hours depending on what setting its on. I haven’t quite got the hang of the settings yet but even on the lowest it gives a gentle warming feeling. The battery charges quickly too. I feel if I hadn’t tried this body warmer I would still be suffering and although I’m still not better I feel a huge improvement and would not hesitate to recommend it.
Great product – great customer service, swooped the battery straight away once they found it was defective.
Lovely and lightweightcan feel the heat coming through the back of the vest!
I’ve had this jacket since October last year and have used it nearly every day since.
The jacket is nicely made and feels like a premium lightweight gilet in terms of look and feel. I consistently get well over five hours of battery life running on medium.
I found it’s really important for the jacket to be a snug fit to get good heat transfer to your body, so it’s worth spending time on the sizing charts to get it just right. It works best if you wear jacket over one or two thin base layers. If you need to, you can easily wear thicker outer layers over the top, as the jacket is light and not bulky. This works really well for me.
Love this, it’s lightweight, comfortable and fits really well. Heats up instantly and last a long time on medium/low setting. Definitely recommend this vest.
I’ve had the jacket for 3 years and it was an absolute game changer for enabling me to work outdoors in colder weather. Used it in all weathers. I would highly recommend the jacket, but would advise that you purchase a second battery.
Doesn’t heat up the front of you but around the neck is hot keeps you warm though
We ordered a men’s and women’s vest and have found both excellent products. The vests are stylish and well made and the heating is excellent. We needed to exchange my wife’s size vest and the service we received was excellent. The team processed a return for me and posted the new vest so it arrived 24 hours later. Really pleased with our purchase, Ia
Good customer service for dealing with warranty issues with the jacket !
This product does warm you up but sadly if you move around too much the connector from the battery to the jacket can come out quite frequently. Sat or stood still outside and this will warm you up, just don’t move about too many times
This jacket is useless – I am not impressed the light on the battery pack lasts 10 seconds. Did I get a faulty one? I need to return this product. How do I do this.
Had this as a Christmas present. Which was great, as on boxing day my central heating broke down. Body warmer is true to size ( a lot of the unisex ones start at 40inch chest which is no good for small people). It warms up in a few seconds and stays warm. Feels a bit heavy when you first put it on but you get used to that when the heat comes on. Great item, i love it.
Good fit, looks really nice on, soft feel.
The back of the jacket heats up better than the front but that’s ok, still keeps me warm. The automatic thermostat seems to switch the jacket off before necessary so have to keep switching it back on.
This is one of the only gilets where the price includes the power pack so that’s good, but I think you can upgrade to a longer lasting power which would be a benefit.
All in all happy with my choice.
The only down downside is the battery runs down quickly on full blast which is what I need. Otherwise would recommend
My daughter loaned me hers one freezing day over Christmas. I couldn’t get warm. It worked immediately like a warm blanket down my back.
fit is good, design is appealing. Battery life is not quite good enough.
The girls at work absolutely love these. Apparently the best thing we have ever bough
There was an issue with the battery, but customer support was excellent and replacement was sent within a couple of days. Jacket itself is well made and works well.
I have been using this to keep me warm when watching my children playing football – a time when there is little option but to stand still for hours on end and get very cold. I wanted something that could be worn over a layer or two but still fit under my thick coat. This fits perfectly. I am a UK size 12 (pushing 14) and a medium is quite a snug fit with a jumper underneath, but isn’t too tight.
The battery pack that comes with this (check that you select that option) charges quickly and last for several hours. It fits well in the pocket provided (and there are still 2 usable empty pockets) but is a little heavy. It’s not a problem though.
The overall warmth provided is excellent. I am the most smug parent on the touchline these days.
All really good. Comfortable and practical. Wife wears it while working at her desk.
Turned up on time as stated works well at keeping the cold at bay
I work in a cold environment so this has been a game changer. Worth every penny. My co workers were so impressed with mine, they’ve all bought one. Would say charge overnight as it takes a while to fully charge. Adjustable temperature which is good. I got a large as they are quite neat.
It’s a well made product and comfortable to wear but after an initial feeling of warmth it doesn’t feel any warmer than just wearing an normal gilet. Having said that it’s a useful addition to wear under a coat in cold conditions.
despite the small size, the light out put has been impressive, more than meets my requirements
Bought it for my missus as a Christmas present. The size is just right for the her (i bought size S). It came with a power bank which i think is 10k mAh. Quite straightforward, connect the power bank to the cable at the side of the vest and click on the “start” button which is located inside the vest. Personally, i like it that the button is in the inside of the vest instead of outside like the other similar vests that you can find in here. I just thought it was a bit odd to walk around with a light on your vest – like Iron Man. But that is just me.
In short, it looks good and the heat is alright according to the missus. We will try it this weekend when we go for our Christmas shopping. Till then…
I bought this for my husband……he really likes it and was very pleased with the quick service! It’s just what he needs for watching our kids outdoors football during these cold winter days and night and while he hasn’t used it for golf yet he said that he could do very easily if the weather gets much colder as it is lightweight and a good fit. I purchased a medium for him which was in line with his normal sizing.
It is very simple to use and the quality of the product is good. With one press of the button the gilet heats up very quickly and the three heating settings are great and very easily adjusted. My husband said that it was well worth the money paid and he would have no hesitation in recommending it to his friends. All in all we are very pleased with this purchase!
I like the quality, feel, size and fit of this. Super comfortable (slept in it while camping last weekend) and being sleeveless is great – I wore it under another smarter slim-fit jacket while sitting outside in the evening for 5h last week). It keeps noticably warm for 4-5 hours (set on high using the button on the inside chest) with the supplied power pack. It does seem to regulate itself if it thinks it’s getting too warm. No reason I can see why other power packs (or a usb plug) wouldn’t power it – but havn’t tried that – although most packs are larger and so wouldn’t fit in the special pocket (LH side just to back of side seam).
Tempted to get one for my elderly mother who thinks putting the heating on is a waste, but then suffers from back pain because she’s too cold …
I’m a size 14 and measured chest size to work out size – the measurements are right. Remember to add cm if you’re planning on wearing layers under it.
Like that it keeps me warm when out walking, but does it need to be that exspensive
I’m definitely pleased with it, the packaging is great, would make a great gift.
The quality is brilliant, I wear it just as an ordinary gilet, you’d never know it was heated, it’s very soft and comfortable.
I’ve worn it for 4-5 hours without the battery running out.
I’d definitely recommend this gilet, and I have.. to lots of friends!
I bought medium because I wear it over a thin jumper. I’m 5.10 size 12
I am a very cold person. Persuaded myself to risk what I consider a lot of money of this purchase. It does not disappoint.
The body warmer comes in a branded bag with power bank and plug. There is a secret pocket to store the power bank while wearing. The warmer is lightweight and true to size. It has three heat settings and the battery last me a whole shift at work. I don’t need it on high. The heat elements are in the neck, back, chest and tummy areas.
This is the best gadget I’ve found since getting an electric toothbrush 20years ago. Love it!
Recommended it to colleagues and have so far been asked to order 4 more.
Get one! You will be overjoyed and most importantly snuggly, warm
Bought for the wife she says it’s great and heats up fast , she had one size up so a hoodie could be fitted underneath but don’t go too big as you need to keep the body warmer close to the skin as possible or you won’t feel the hea
No problem with the product at all. It works well, is comfortable to wear and I am delighted. Two small things to point out. The little on-off switch on the power pack does not seem to be mentioned sufficiently in the instructions and the instructions are not quite accurately translated into English. But not a real problem. Thank you for a great product.
I had to write a review on this product I don’t normally review stuff I buy from amazon, but this is worth so far every penny , I don’t have a lot of money so buying this to me was making a massive gamble and I am so glad it paid off, I ride a motor bike and I am the world’s biggest girl when comes to riding in the cold ,when I brought this there was a morning frost -1 ,got ready like normal turned the vest on and went , it heated up very quickly,around the neck and back was toastie and the front part was just has good ,I would recommend thos to anyone has now I get off my bike I feel like the lad off the TV advert readybrek I am all glowing and warm lol
Very comfortable, snug fit, ordered XL, battery pack supplied has usb connections to the garment and usb c for charging. Comes with a mains adapter. Used for work today medium power for 6 hrs still a bit left on the battery pack. Nice warm and cosy.
Well made and keeps you warm. If you get the gloves you are even warme
This jacket is really good for them cold days, the customer service is very good quick to answer any questions and fix the problems
Would definitely recommend this when you need that extra warmth, also when you need something fixed months down the line and there is no hesitation on their part today thank you
She eventially used it because she couldn’t get warm I was called to be told “what ever you paid for that it was worth every penny”. This has become an enabler for my elderly mother for being outside in the winter and she is genuinely delighted with it.
This is a 5 star review for the product and for the supplier. I wear this gilet every day for walking my dogs in cooler weather. It warms up very quickly and keeps your back, front and neck warm. It’s also lovey to wear without the power on as a body warmer. I had a problem with mine not turning on a couple of weeks ago and I have to say, I am really pleased with the responsiveness and proactivity of Jenny. She was clear with her questions and sent photos to help me follow her instructions. She diagnosed the issue and sent out a replacement battery. The old battery still charges phones and iPads but wouldn’t power the gilet. Thank you Jenny for your support!
I wanted to wait before I reviewed this item, due to COVID I haven’t been able to wear this vest until recently. Since wearing it I have been very impressed. It is very comfortable and has kept me warm when I have been out on a cold evening training my team. It is warm in all places it shows on the diagram. I would not be without it.
Love my heated bodywarmer! I work in a nursery and spend a lot of my day outside in poor and cold weather and this has been a lifesaver this last winter. The pack usually lasts for a couple of days use on and off before needing a recharge. I don’t tend to have it switched on for extended periods of time so I can make the battery last but when we had very cold snowy weather and was using more it still lasted a full day.
It is comfortable to wear both as the only outer layer or under a coat (it does add bulk so wouldn’t work under a very snug fit coat or jacket). I also like the fact its easy to wipe clean or spot clean areas as I wouldn’t want to risk washing it.
I bought this heated vest for my wife who experiences chronic health issues. She can now sit outside for some fresh air whilst keeping warm in the Winter months. She sometimes puts it over her legs on teh sofa and in the night sometimes uses it if getting up.
Very versatile, especially having 3 different heat settings.
Conqueco were also very kind and friendly in sorting out an initial problem with the battery.
Great. Just don’t order the wrong size as you may find it difficult to find a UK courier to take the return, due to the lithium battery.
This has to be my favourite purchase for a long time. It has kept me cosy all winter – such a nice thing to put on a bit of heat when you’re feeling a chill! Totally worth the slightly high price tag. If I could buy it again I would. Love i
We’re so pleased with this Gilet. Its excellent for using on our motorbike, keeps you tasty for hours in very cold conditions. Also as we ordered the wrong size, Jenny has been brilliant in exchanging it for a larger size. Helpful, fast and no problems at all, well done indeed. I’ve been telling all my biker friends about it too, no plug in wires, simple and easy to use, and stylish to boot. Particularly like the heated collar, but this is something that can be used when out walking, working in a freezer, or like us on the bike. Highly recommended purchase.
This body warmer is super soft and very comfy to wear. I have only had it a couple of days and so far I’ve had no issues.
I’ve worn it over thinner jumpers and hoodies and under my normal jackets and it didn’t feel at all bulky.
It heats the back of your neck, middle back and front well and a I suffer from reynauds (always cold) it is great for keeping me at a steady temperature. The two pockets are warm too.
I’m a ladies size 16, top half, generally and I often buy an 18 but this really needs to be snug to hug the warmth against you. I initially sent for an XL but it gaped across my back and lost heat so I sent for a L and it fits me perfectly with room for movement as the material is a bit stretchy.
I’ve read about the confusion over batteries. Weirdly my first body warmer, the XL, came with a conqueco battery and no charger but it would have fitted an old style Samsung charger. My second body warmer came with a charger and a random battery. As I had already charged the first battery I plugged it into the second body warmer to try it and, although it plugged in fine, it wouldn’t work. So maybe there is something in the comments about it only working with its own battery. I’ll test that theory later as I’ve ordered another power bank to use with it. I suppose that’s my only slightly negative comment I only got about 4 hours out of the battery yesterday and then it takes hours to charge. However, even without the heating element this is a really lovely and warm piece of clothing. I really do recommend it.
Got this for my mother at Christmas. Excellent feed back, she’s using it daily as she’s got bad arthritis in her back. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a lite warm heating vest.
I am very pleased with my purchase. The gilet is well made, cosy and lightweight. I bought a size small and it fits snug against me. I can wear it over jumpers and under a coat. It heats up really quickly and is easy to charge. Would certainly recommend.
I wear sizen12 clothing i brought a size medium jacket. Its a loose fit which I don’t mind I can wear a thick jumper underneath. If you wanted a more fitted jacket its best to buy a smaller size. I like that its lightweight. It feels comfortable under my coat and not bulky. I brought one for my daughter and son-law and recommended it to friends and family also a friend and her sister that works at an outdoor market. The price is also brilliant. I am 11stones 5ft 5inchs tall
I bought this for added warmth on my motorbike – but use it now whenever i’m out for my socially distanced walk/exercise. It is toasty warm and normally only need to have it on the lowest setting. Love how it warms my neck too.
I suppose the only issue is how long it takes to fully charge – seems to take forever, but then i find it excellent, so never mind that bit.
Is actually quite warm without needing the heat on.
Love it!
Bought this for my wife for cold winter dog walks and she loves it. Great quality and looks really good too. A bit pricey but once it arrived and was put into action, it proved to be worth every penny.
Bought this for the wife, she’s a nurse and works early mornings and late nights and wears it every day to work, she has even worn it in the house. The wife is a size 10 and the small fits quite tight, but she loves it.
I ordered one of these jackets two years ago for my wife, who wore it skiing and then everywhere else. It heats you up beautifully according to her. I subsequently ordered one for my mum for Christmas and it worked but kept cutting off. I spoke to the seller and she arranged immediately for a replacement to be sent out. It arrived with a different connector in the jacket for linking to the battery pack, which was the same as the one in my wife’s. Therefore I surmise, ensure you get a jacket with a USB style connector rather than a 3.5mm jack. Excellent customer service though, so I have no complaints.
Mine arrived minus the charger & lead, but I wasn’t aware of this as I gave it as a gift @ Christmas. Yes you can purchase a suitable charger if you know what connection is on the power pack which the recipient of the gift didn’t! Then I discovered from other people who had made a purchase had experiences worse than mine ! IE they had been sent European chargers ( 2 pins ) so had to buy adapters.
Moral of the story — check what you have & if its not correct return it .
Love this. I got the small ladies and thought the for was perfect. Gears up really quick. However unfortunately it did stop working after a few weeks. Seems to be an issue with the power button as the battery would function to charge my phone. Disappointed but understandably all product have malfunctions now and again. I was not expecting such a positive customer service reply when I contact conqueco. Replied very promptly and even when I hadn’t replied they followed up with a reminder mail. Told me they would send me a replacement if I was happy with that. Replacement arrived very swiftly.
I’m so pleased I bought this item. I’ve used the heated vest quite a bit recently working on an outdoor event. It warms up immediately and lasts for approximately 4 hours when on maximum. I’ve been recommending it to lots of people. With a warm coat on top, it really keeps the heat in. Very impressed and would recommend 100%. I’m a ladies size 12 and bought the medium one. The fit was perfect.
Nice looking and well made jacket with the added warmth of the heating pack.
Now, the problem is returning the original Medium one. I arranged my return, downloaded my returns labels to find that i had to arrange my own carrier. No problem. However, my returns label had a note “ATTENTION: your return contains lithium batteries, which are classified as Dangerous Goods and require special transportation handling”. There was also a separate “hazardous” label to be attached to the parcel that stated “Do not use postal operator”. So, no Royal Mail. I tried to arrange a returns through Collect Plus, Yodel, & Hermes…….. to no avail. I contacted Amazon Help, who advised trying UPS. I went to the UPS webpage, again filled in all the details, paid over 13.00 shipping via PayPal, only to get a message stating ” UPS internal security measures prevent the processing of this shipment”. Short of driving through to their warehouse in Fife, i don’t know how I’m supposed to return it.
In summary : these are not cheap gilets, so my advice is, if you’re not 100% sure you will be keeping this gilet, buy one where the battery is not included, so it’s easily returned. Batteries can be bought separately, from around 10-20 and have multiple uses, so if it’s not needed for the gilet, it can be used as a portable phone/ipad charger.
The gilet in and of itself is really warm. I am ALWAYS COLD (yes – one of those). Turn on the heated battery and I’m fine almost anywhere. It’s super warm. Battery seems to last forever.
M fits a female size 10 comfortably.
My friends all laughed at first. Then we had to start meeting people outside … in November…! Who’s laughing now?! (It’s me. I’m laughing. From the my heated high horse.)
So I bought this jacket back in September and have waited to use it for two months before writing a review. I work in a 9000sq ft workshop. Most of the time I am building and doing carpentry so I’m quite warm even though the building is not heated or insulated. But when I stop to do more detailed work it is bitterly cold. I’ve gone three winters just layered up but couldn’t take another one.
I wouldn’t normally spend this much on clothing but I’m so glad I did. It’s a total game changer! The jacket heats up so quick. I only ever really put it on medium and it’s just perfect. I just don’t notice it’s cold anymore. I wish I’d got it three years ago.
There are a few cons. The battery is a bit cumbersome and if you leave it plugged into the cable in your pocket even when it’s off, I find it drains the battery so I have to unplug it to stop that. Not sure if that’s a fault or not.
Size wise, I am a pretty standard size 12. (36c) and a medium size is perfect.
This is the best gilet I have owned. A different make stopped working after only a few weeks. The long line slim fit is flattering, the heating button is disguised inside the vest and heats up quickly and stays on and warm for as long as needed. 3 variable heat settings. The supplier, Jenny, gave me great customer service as my battery developed a fault and kept switching off and without hesitation she sent me a new one which resolved the issue. Cannot recommend this gilet and Jenny enough. Thank you!
This item was given as a present to one who really feels the cold. It is ideal. Battery pack is long lasting and provides toasty warmth.
Power pack can be replaced as it’s removable and the connection is a standard usb.
The vest looks nice and keeps me warm. It appears to be well made too.
The first heated vest I’ve had, so I can’t compare to more expensive ones, but this one is doing the job nicely. I’m a size 10/12 and a medium fits with room for jumpers underneath, although in hindsight I maybe should have got small as I don’t need as many jumpers now! I use it on my motorbike, under my jacket, and never really need it set on high – low or medium is enough. Looks nice too, nicer than the really cheap one I ordered and sent back. Would recommend.
I bought this for my wife and she used it every day during the winter as she works outside. We had an issue with the coat starting to switch off after 10min 11 months after buying it, got in touch with the seller and they were extremely helpful and sorted our problem out quickly, Five stars from me
I’ve used this daily since I bought it and I love it. Keeps me nice and warm while working outside. Can just about eek out 12 hours at the lowest heat but generally run it at medium for two or three hours in the morning and same in the evening. High heat only gives around 4 hours or so. Obviously works better under a jacket to help build up and keep the warmth.
When I first seen these I thought it just wouldn’t work I read some of the comments and made a decision and try it im glad I did its loverly and warm just the job i work in a sarny shop door never closed so i have to wear lots of layers but not with this beauty not bulky at all really comfortable and warm this will help me through the winter also when walking the dogs at 6 in the morning the only down thing is ive got to get the hubby one now does what is says on the tin oh and the battery not a problem at all fits in pocket ok doesn’t dig in thanks conqueco
Bought specifically for warming up after autumn lake swimming, it’s worked a treat!
Picture for the mens version doesn’t show that there a heating element in the collar, this is most welcome!!
Wearing over a T shirt and under a close fitting jacket meant it felt uber warm and quickly had my core temperature back up to normal despite 40minutes swimming in 12 degree water.
Quality seems good but possibly too early to be sure on this point, product is lightweight, of course the battery isn’t really light, but its fits nicely into its own pocket and doesn’t make the gilet feel unbalanced.
Overall really pleased so far.
I only got this very recently, but I am pleased. It’s comfy and stylish and fits very well. I ordered a small (my usual size) and it’s perfect. If I’d have ordered a size up as people suggested, it would have been too big. It’s easy to use and charge and the delivery was prompt. I’ve only worn it in the house so far on the high setting. It was very toasty. The power lasted for about 3.5 hours, as billed.
Update: I’ve had to contact the company on a couple of occasions since purchasing the vest and I must say, the customer service has been excellent. The issues were resolved both very quickly and efficiently.
Lovely quality and nice and cosy. Not bulky so perfect for me to wear under my coat if needs be when it looks like we’re going to be sitting outside more this winter. I do have Raynaud’s syndrome so I need all the help I can get! I’m glad I didn’t order a size up as suggested by somebody as the small size was plenty big enough. Great to have the battery pack included too.
Had tried two other brands previously but this was the best.
P.S. Two friends tried my jacket on while we were sitting outside on a cold evening and they both ordered one.
I originally bought one of these for my wife to wear whilst walking the dog. When I saw it I had to have one for riding my motorbike. I ride in all weathers and mainly at night when it is particularly cold and this jacket certainly keeps my core warm. I had considered the sleeved version but the collar on that model is a little too large for comfort with a helmet. A very well made item which, unlike cheaper versions, comes with its own large capacity battery and charger. The battery lives in its own pocket just behind the left jacket pocket and is unobtrusive when riding. Three heat settings to choose from.
Bought this for golf. Works a treat. If you’re like me and don’t like wearing a jacket, this is perfect. Got away with wearing polo, thin top, thin wind cheater + heated vest over top, lovely and cosy in middle setting in 20mph wind and -2 temperature. The heat flows throughout vest and keeps whole core warm.
The only improvement I would make would be to have small elements in or near pockets, it would then be perfect for golfers.
The material is very soft and nice to touch, the jacket heats up in about 5 minutes, he finds the highest setting to be the most beneficial. The jacket keeps him nice and warm and the long battery life is nice. When turning the jacket off, it retains its heat for a long time so I would suggest turning it off awhile before you will be finished with it.
All in all I am delighted that this jacket is working so well and can definitely recommend it. I also contacted the seller for a return as the first jacket I bought was too small and they were very prompt and helpful with their reply and service.
This vest feel reely good. I haven’t had it to long but seems really well made and I have to say the customer support team is the best I have ever expireanced. Super helpful and easy to get along with. Only thing I would change about this is in the jacket the connector is a dc plug I’d have liked to see a USB converter with it or just a USB plug so it can work with other battery’s. Other than that I’m really happy with it..
Some time later. Customer support is very helpful. I’m having an isusse with the cable on the vest. Hasn’t been sorted but the customer support is being very helpful to sort it out. The time diffrance is making take longer but I am confident we will sort it soon.
Bought for wearing on 12hr outside nightshift, -5 was Brilliant , even without heat on found it kept me warm. Three heat settings and it doesn’t need to be in full long , I did have a all in one suit on as well. Would recommend it’s a brilliant but of ki
Just bought another for my wife.
The tiniest thing to mention. The power pack that comes with it isn’t the one pictured.
I’m happy to buy the smaller size as the quality and heat off the larger one is very good. Would definitely recommend.
Lightweight which means he can wear his normal golf gear with the gilet without it restricting his swing, or making him feel ‘bundled up’.
Excellent piece of kit….his words!
The heat on low after 8 hours constant use only pulled down two bars on the battery pack, so it lasts well too. If you want it to last longer, simply use a larger power bank but be sure that its output is the same.
I have read in other comments that instructions and power bank were not added, which, if you have this, send it back because I got it all and you shouldn’t have to buy any extras. Also, in terms of heat distribution, it has been stated that heat is weaker on some spots. I kept a close eye on this and came to the conclusion that it was probably because there are two heat pouches on the front chest as opposed to just one of the back. This may be what you’re feeling.
For size, I purposely chose one to be virtually skin tight or just enough to fit over a layer of clothing. The reasoning behind this is, if you want to retain heat properly, a tightish fit is best with no gaps so the heat actually warms your vital organs instead of escaping, either over or under the jacket.
For me, this has only one CON and that is the fibrous stuffing in the actual jacket seems to be coming out of it. It’s very odd because it’s clearly well made and no stitching holes can be seen. I can only presume it’s some form of fault in the design that I’m unaware of and that the outer layered material used, allows the inner fibre to come through. I use this under my work clothes and is possibly the friction is charging the outer layer and literally pulling the fibrous innards out. This is the reason I’m unfortunately giving it four stars. I would go through the effort of sending it back to see if another one has the same issue, but given the time it would ultimately take to send back and receive a new version, and the fact that everything else is working great, I’ll hold on to it. If any other issues arise I will be sending it back.
