PROSmart Heated Vest Polar Fleece Lightweight Heated Gilet with USB Battery, Unisex
I find it very good indeed. It needs to be full on for me and lasts about 3.5 hours. I have purchased a spare battery pack for 17 & it then lasts the day. You need to get a compatable one. Well made jacket, which is warm anyway. Good black Friday deal on for 56. Recommended.
There was a lot of choice for different heated vests and jackets, and I chose this one because it had very good reviews. I’m a womens size 10/12 and I found that the small size of this vest fits perfectly over other clothing. The garment itself is really cosy especially having a lovely soft tall collar. When switched on it gives a nice feeling of warmth on your back especially. I am hopeful this is going to make the winter dog walks much more comfortable.
Great product, battery life not as long as I would like, but another battery pack will do the job. The instructions for the differing levels of heat are non-existent, so they could be improved, but overall very pleased
I decided a gilet would make sense as it can be worn under a coat in the winter and on its own on those slightly chilly summer evenings in the UK.
The good thing about the gilet, or vest as they call it, is that it hugs your body so you feel the warmth of the heated panels within a few seconds of turning it on. I imagine with a slightly baggy coat that you’d be waiting a while to feel the effects of the warming.
The battery lasts easily long enough for an evening of outdoor entertainment at the high power setting and I’d imagine at the lower power setting it would last all day, but I’ll have to wait for the winter to see.
The battery connection is a standard USB one so if you want to purchase a spare battery you can do with no problem (I understand a lot of heated coats/gilets have a non standard connector, which is crazy). The battery is great as it has 4 lights (leds) that indicate it’s available charge, something that for some reason isn’t mentioned anywhere in the Amazon entry.
Regarding size; this was so confusing with a mass of conflicting information.
This was my experience. I’m relatively slim and normally take a medium to large in shirts, t-shirts, jackets etc. however, when I followed the advice in the reviews to err towards a bigger size and bought a large, it was too big. I exchanged it for a medium and it fits perfectly. In my opinion if the fit isn’t snug you’ll have to wait for longer to feel the warmth from the heated areas and the styling suits a closer fit anyway.
In summary, I love this jacket and it was an absolute life saver earlier in 2021 when you could only eat outdoors at a restaurant and on through the spring/summer when outdoor gatherings were still the norm. It’s great for taking the chill off while walking the dogs on those slightly chilly summer evenings and will be awesome come the winter. I liked it so much I bought my wife one for her birthday.
Brilliant. Very warm around the back area. I always have it turned to full heat, and the downside to that is that it needs recharging after each walk. But once you get in a routine that’s easy.
Buy with confidence.
Love this. During covid, need to be warm outside, so have bought this product three times – for aged parents and myself. Really cosy. Heats your back, but not your front which is always warmer anyway.
Purchased two vests and we are wearing them. Seller went above and beyond helping me with an extra battery. What I received was so unexpected and I’m very grateful. Great shopping experience and great vests. I really recommend the vest.
