Very well made, feels premium with solid zips and a nice thick bag that it came in, battery lasts about 8 hours, nice and warm, even in very low temperatures. Impossible to find a spare battery though as the connection is not USB to the jacket, also the controls to turn the heat on are very bright and stay on – there is no mistaking you have a heated jacket on. Wish there was a cover for the controls as I don’t really want to have bright red/blue/green lights on my otherwise all black jacket.
Waterproof but says in the instructions understandably say not to use if the lining is wet. Hood zips off if you don’t want it or if you keep it on will heat up with the rest of the jacket.
Great purchase – just wish the connections were usbc and the lights could be covered
Bought for my husband who does Archery outside. As you van imagine in this very cold weather we experiencing, He gets frozen. 1st time used Sunday 3 Hours. Only 1/4 of battery used. He was lovely & toasty. Said was brilliant! Thoroughly recommend.
its nice and warm on a cold day very pleased with i
(Just a note, the packaging does say there is silica gel in the bag it came in but it was also in each of the outside pockets).
Battery pack:
I charged the battery pack with the supplied charger overnight (it is USB-C), it has a percentage indicator that flashes in 25% increments as it charges and then stops flashing when full. It slips into the purpose made internal pocket and there is a small electrical connector that fits easily into the battery pack. The battery pack also has a USB-A socket so I imagine you could use it top up a device if you needed to, I didn’t try it so I cannot confirm this.
The Gilet (Vest):
The internal material is smooth and comfortable and you can’t really tell that there is anything different about it apart from the two control buttons down on the right hand side at the bottom edge. The external material is quite shiny, a bit like some of the puffer jackets that are currently popular and I am not sure it is a fashion choice I would make, however I have worn it outside alone and under other jackets and it works well. It is described as waterproof on the outside, and I have been rained on a little bit and it did not let any rain through.
Operation:
There are two buttons on the gilet one for heating the front and one for heating the back and neck. There are little pictures on the buttons that describe which is which.
Turning the heating system on is quite simple, you turn on the battery pack by pressing the little button on the side and then within a short time (<20 seconds) you hold down one of the buttons on the vest till it illuminates and this turns on that particular heated section. If you want both sections on you need to hold down the other button. There are 3 settings, high, medium and low, when first turned on the default setting is high. The manual recommends not using this for more than 5 minutes. I find that after a very short time this becomes uncomfortable and I imagine will drain the battery quite quickly (in between the two buttons is a 4 light indicator that shows the remaining battery level as a percentage). pressing the button toggles to the next setting, pressing and holding the button turns that section off. If both sections are turned off for long the battery needs to be turned back on to use the heater again.
Practical use:
I have been wearing the gilet every week day for the past month, I put it on the medium setting at first and wear my light work jacket over the top, once in the van I turn off the back and neck as the seat heater makes it a bit much with both on. I have noticed that the lap part of the seatbelt sometimes presses the buttons on the gilet, changing the temperature setting, a bit of a pain but not really a big deal.
Depending on what I am doing at work determines my usage, if I am inactive at the computer then I have been putting the gilet on low all day which has been really helpful during the recent cold weather.
I have also been wearing the gilet under my outdoor raincoat instead of wearing my big heavy winter coat when walking the dog, its great for this.
Battery life:
Initially I was charging the battery every day when I got home from work, I found it takes 3-4 hours to charge from empty I was only charging it for a couple of hours each evening however I did see how long it would last with my usage pattern and I found I got about 3 days mostly on the low setting.
Care and Maintenance:
The instructions say that it should be hand washed and not tumble dried, I have not washed the vest yet so I cannot confirm how well the heating unit holds up to washing. It does say you can spin in a washing machine if you put it in a wash bag, I am not sure I would risk this.
Overall I really like the vest, its comfortable, isn't too thick so can fit under another jacket and doesn't look bad if you wear it on its own, I am not suggesting it as an alternative for heating a whole home, but if you just want to heat one person it could be a potential cost saver. I feel it is reasonably priced compared with similar products on Amazon and feel I could comfortably recommend it. I may order the gloves, just not sure how good they would be for driving.
Veste super lgre et vraiment belle. Ds qu’on allume tu sens la chaleur presque automatiquement. Je conseille.
Always wanted to try a heated vest when I saw the price I went for it. The size fits me perfectly and the good thing is that it comes with a powerbank which some other vests don’t. The best gets really warm in a quick time.
The only one thing I don’t like is the front material as it seems like you are wearing a garbage bag, I guess it’s due to water repellent but still, hopefully the next batch will have a better finishing material
I work outdoors and needed something that could keep me warm, took a chance on this vest and boy did it deliver. The outer layer is waterproof, but I usually wear it under my rain gear anyways. Having multiple areas of heat is a nice touch, most other heated vests don’t have this feature. The battery pack isn’t too bulky either, which seems to be the case in many other vests I was looking at. On the medium setting it lasts my whole shift, very happy with my purchase, highly recommend!!
Packaging was great, after first charge I had to try it on.
Kept me super warm where I need it, light and comfortable.
I had back pain so it also helped that when I need direct heat to the area.
It will be the best purchase made for this coming winter in Ontario.
Great heated vest. Can wait to use it this winter. It was well packed, came with a nice bag to store it after use. Very good quality.
I was pleasantly surprised with this jacket the quality is quite high, it heats quickly and is very comfortable to wear. The pockets are a good size as well. I have not tested how long the battery lasts but so far I think it must be pretty similar to what’s announced. Overall I can easily recommend it, I would buy it again.
I was a little concerned at first but I placed the order and when I received it I was very pleased.
Well packaged, the jacket was in an air tight bag, the battery and charger packaged separately and secured and it works! In Canada we get terrible winter, -50C with windchill and this will work wonders for me when I’m out on the snow trails. Great buy, definitely recommend!
This is a great vest to wear when you need something really warm. The nice thing about the vest too is that there are three different levels of heat that you can adjust to your liking depending on how cold it is.
Looking forward to using this vest more!
Product arrived on time, I am very happy with it, it heats up super well and the battery has a long life, the appearance looks amazing, I also recommend i
Tried and tested. Works very well. Heats up and distributes warmth evenly. Will come in handy for cold winters here in Canada.
The vest is lightweight and comfortable. Sizing is accurate. The vest generates a good amount of heat that is dispersed well.
It comes with a zipper bag to store the jacket which is nice.
The battery that powers the vest is remoable and has its own sealable pocket inside the vest. The battery is pretty lightweight.
Excited to try this out during the Canadian winter.
Didn’t know what to expect as this was my first electric jacket that I have purchased. All I can say is – WOW.
Delivery was quick as with all other amazon packages and jacket was in a nice bag. Within the bag was all the stuff you need to get going – nothing is forgotten.
Charged up the battery, plugged it in and was enjoying the warmth from all the locations that heat up. The highest level of heat gets really hot quickly and will be my go-to setting in the cold winter days. Its nice that the jacket has different heat settings for different parts of the jacket. The fit of the jacket was great – I’m 6’1″ and the large fit true to size.
Can’t wait to try the jacket out this upcoming winter.
This winter jacket is really comfortable and is true to size. The inside of it is really soft. I like that the instructions to use the heating feature is easy to understand in the manual it comes with. This jacket is something I recommend to someone who lives somewhere really cold.
