I bought one jacket for myself and several for family members. They’ve been great for keeping us warm over the winter. We did have one jacket that stopped working but the seller was quick to respond and resolve things. Excellent service.
This product is very well made & in extremely cold weather combined with for example two jumpers & a winter jacket will give you that extra boost of heat when you need it most. I prefer to use it as a last resort when the cold is a bit too much & you still feel a chill even when you have plenty of clothing & layers on. If you want you can use it indoors, if you don’t want to heat your place up. It’s very effective too but I would recommend buying one or two more batteries so you have one already charged up. There are three pockets, one for the battery & two for your hands. So all in all its a very effective & well made product, that will help you when outside & could save you money on your heating bill when used indoors.
I bought the CONQUECO men’s heated gilet back in September last year I love the idea of this as I’m outside all day. It wasn’t until a few weeks ago it developed a fault with the battery which wasn’t keeping a charge.
I emailed the company about the problem they couldn’t have been more helpful and kindly sent me a replacement battery.
A Big thank you to Jenny at customer service.
Best buy for me 2022 both for me and my wife warm body light jacket to wear under main coa
This is a great gilet to keep you warm, in all the right places, in cold weather.
It also helps to wear this if you turn your heating down or off, in view of the huge bills we are now getting.
A small problem was soon sorted out by the very helpful Jenny at Conqueco customer service.
Very pleased with this, keeps me warm and toasty and even looks good!
In all, a great coat, which also had a heated collar. Down side, was battery only lasted a couple of hours from a full charge.
Hardly every write reviews but … this was a perfect product keeps me warm in all weather down to 5after that I usually turn on the after burners and this keeps me perfectly warm, and not too warm as I walk in it and didn’t want to sweat – its been -5 recently and it coped really well – I usually wear a light fleece and then thisGilet and then Goretex jacket over all this – perfect product for me…
I am very happy with my purchase. I should have bought one before now. It is slim fitting and very lightweight. The only thing I don’t like is the thin flimsy zip on the battery pocket which is awkward to open and close as it seems to get caught up in the fabric surrounding it and the zipper pull tab is so small. Would I recommend this product? Yes I would. I haven’t returned it so that’s a good thing and it’s very cold now and I have used it every day.
It is a lovely lightweight gillet the only problem is that the power pack that comes with it doesn’t hold its charge unless you use it straight away from charging. No big issue as I’ve ordered another battery but a great quality garme
Looks good. Once turned on the heat feels like the jacket had been left on a radiator before putting on. Original battery sent with the jacket was faulty but after contacting customer services a replacement was sent straight away. All now works well.
I bought this for wearing when riding my motorbike in this cold weather, and it works and when I ride to work I can’t tell it is cold when previously I was feeling cold for the whole journey. I have been riding bikes for over 50 years through winter months feeling very cold at times but this Gillet will be a game changer for me. I advise any biker to get one for winte
After 1 year, the jacket still looks great and I actually wear it even when not using its heating function, as it is a very nice quality and good looking jacket. Once you have tried a heated jacket, it is difficult to live without one. They are fantastic to keep you warm and helps avoid turning the heating on! I have had a recent issue develop but the customer service has been fantastic and has quickly sorted that for me. Highly recommend this seller and worth the price for such a well made item.
First class product – works perfectly and keeps me so cosy. I really feel the cold, and for me this has been a lifesaver. And it is saving me money on heating bills too! Customer service is also excellent – quick and very helpful response when battery started working only intermittently after nearly a year (due to a loose connection in its USB port I think) – Jenny in customer service was lovely and sent a new one immediately. Works perfectly again now. I highly recommend it.
I was a bit worried about size, generally I’m between a medium and large (but mostly large). I’m average build 5ft 10, 36 waist and large was a good fit. Medium would not have been too small. Its really warm and comfy, battery pocket is quite tight, need to be careful with connecting cable but overall seems well made. It also warms around the neck.
I wash impressed by the quality of the jacket but the battery just doesn’t last that long even on the lowest setting. So swapping out the battery for a higher quality one could be an option though an extra cos
What a great light weight vest – very warm and soft and very easy to set up – the fit is true to size and the support service received was excellent. Extremely pleased with this product and is highly recommended.
Bought to play cold winter golf. With the three settings it is perfect. Good batter life and not all bulky. Sizing depends upon how close fitting you want it. I would normally be medium but went for large to enable golf swing.
I was skeptic off how good this was going to be, however it’s simply brilliant. The battery pack slips into a custom pocket, and provides heat for a whole evening outing. I even bought a spare battery and haven’t had to use it yet.
I ordered this for my husband who enjoys sea fishing but gets cold . He has barely taken it off since it arrived ! He ordered a second power pack so he could always have one charged . He wears it for most occasions !!
Didn’t come with instructions which was irritating and the battery doesn’t fit the pocket made for it very well as it’s too big but it does keep me nice and warm so on balance I’m pleased with it.
I find this heated gilet indispensable for winter sailing. However many layers of clothing I have never seem to be enough on the coldest days, but when I switch the gilet on I’m perfectly cosy.
Great product for first 4 months but now has a bad connection to the battery and I can’t use the heated part of the product so rendered useless, its also a pain as if this was a usb connector I’d try a different battery but as its a dc connector and a
specific battery for the job I can’t seem to find a suitable replacement. Would have been alot higher rating if the product kept working.
Update
Jenny got in touch a sent me two new batteries for the jacket which I’m happy to report now works again… brilliant seller…. rating adjusted to suit.
This is a well designed product that does exactly what it said it will. I had a problem with the battery and found the customer service excellent, sending me a new battery immediately, the jacket now works perfectly.
Bought this for winter golf and it works really well. In fact with thermals on as well, the warmest setting was actually too hot. Battery takes a while to charge but that’s not a problem as long as you remember to charge it the night before.
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!
Really like the waistcoat, l work outdoors and the weather has been extremely cold. The waistcoat has been very cosy, l have only had the heater on the 1st setting.
Bought for riding my motorbike through winter. Fits under the bike jacket and is really warm. Quite stylish so I wear is regularly when out in the cold walking. Looks good quality and very happy with it at the moment. If it lasts then I’ll be really happy.
A Christmas gift for my wife, who really feels the cold. She’s delighted with the gillet and has worn it most times she’s been outside since Christmas Day. The slim fit is true so I had to exchange the original small for a medium but my fault not the seller.
Bought for my husband for when he works outdoor. He really likes it. Just a shame that the battery doesnt last for long on high temperature but hes happy with it.
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.
Perfect for my husband working in a garage, keeps warm all day. Charges from a normal usb charger and battery fits neatly in the purpose zip pocket. Only wish to improve is for an inside pocket (there isn’t one).
The wife loves her heated vest , looks and feels really good. She wears it for work , and says she doesn’t have it on the hottest setting for long as she gets to hot , which is probably why the battery lasts about 4 days. Excellent product.
Excellent quality and works well for me (golfer) once you get used to the control system (instructions could be better). I would say that the sizing guide is somewhat inaccurate, I have a 40 inch chest (101 cm) and the Medium size (for a man) fits quite snugly over my (thickish) golf sweater, as it needs to to do its job and not interfere with the golf swing.
I like the comfort, softness, and warmth. It’s a snug fit so you may need to order a size up. My husband loves it, and wears it all the time. It keeps him really warm.
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.
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 purchased over 9 months ago & still very pleased ,had a little problem with battery but they replaced battery with no problems & had very nice contact with them .Been through the wash countless times no problems ,good fit everything good best bit of clothing i have ever bought & i am in my 40s
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 bought this for my husband for when we go to the rugby and he loves it. it keeps him toasty warm, even on the coldest of nights. the battery lasts well too. it is well made, very light material and also feels lovely. I would highly recommend.
Hi
Just got the heated gilet on Saturday wore it Sunday it was freezing outside but the gilet kept me very warm easily connected I should have bought one ages ago I have recommended to my friends
Very quick on delivery I am going to order a couple more for my family already had three so thankyou very much

I absolutely love this jacket, especially as I work outside. The only reason I haven’t given a full 5 stars is because the battery doesn’t last as long as it says it does
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 product was bought as a gift so I can’t comment on fit or usage thus 4 stars. However it arrived quickly, looks and feels like a quality product so so far, so good.
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
Love this jacket and am wearing it all of the time. Had to buy a spare battery because I’m using it on high all of the time. Quality of the zippers is a little disappointing they stick quite easily and I suspect they will start to go soon. Looks good on and is very comfortable.
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.
