From the brand
Should have bought this earlier! Keeping me nice & warm. Will be able to keep the cost of the heating bills down now! Can wear it all day long indoors or out. Perfect!
The quality of this gilet is really very good in my opinion. The zipper is entirely covered and protected when zipped up. The USB plug has a cap to protect it when the gilet is washed. Stitching looks sturdy and even. The heating zones all work well and I love the heated hood. It keeps the ears really snug and warm. I like the fact that the switches are on the inside. At least now people won’t be asking why I have a light glowing on the front of it.
The only downside, as usual with these Chinese imports, is the sizing. The inches shown in the size chart bear no resemblance to reality. I’m a 42″ chest so i started with a large size and ended up with an XXL, which fits beautifully.
I’ve ordered a few of these, most have been too large, one was nice but broke really quickly. I am 5’1″ and weigh about 110 pounds, this one is still a little bit big but better than others. ( I do struggle with sizes being small) but it has four nice pockets on the outside and a nice deep one for the battery pack, which is grea
I got this to keep my husband warm when watching the football. The original vest was a bit neat, so I had to reorder in the next size. He finds it comfortable and great for keeping him warm.
My measurements were just on the cusp of Medium, but I think I should have ordered Small as I get the impression a snug fit would be better for transmitting the warmth. But otherwise it’s very nice so far (not that the weather is very cold yet). On medium it’s like having nice autumn sun on your back and chest.
This jacket hasn’t great heat overall
One side of the hood appears to heat without the hood button even switched on.
Heating in front chest seems quite weak.
Probably a 3 star rating for this jacket is being fair.
But during our cold UK snap decided to make the jump, and after going through pages of other makes decided on this one (after reading so many reviews), and to be honest what helped was the fact it was on sale at 59.99
Size = Large
Option = With Heated Hood
Let’s get one thing out of the way first, it does not come with battery packs, luckily, I found a two pack that met the manufactures requirements in the same sale
Secondly, it took a week to arrive (but worth the wait)
Size wise it fits just fine, normally I can get away with wearing a medium, but I assumed this was going to worn over a jumper and so opted for the size up and is a nice fit. It is very soft to the touch and I have to say built better than I was expecting, no lose stitches or missed seams.
I opted for the one with the heated hood (Afterall being basically bald) and glad I did.
There are 3 heating buttons that heat the following, Front, Back and Hood with each section being able to adjust the heat setting individually ( a nice touch), pressing each button in turn for around 2 secs turns the element on, it comes on at the highest setting for each part, but a quick press will lower the temp from 65c to 56c then 45c ( Temp are according to manual) and work with no issues
Have to admit was going to be sceptical about the heated hood, but it works, in fact I had to turn the temp down on that part.
This is not waterproof in anyway so will have to watch out to make sure the hooded area does not get to wet in the rain.
Unfortunately, the Vest arrived just after the cold snap, but I am eagerly awaiting to take the dog out on her early morning walks during the winter months and if all goes to plan and it keeps me as warm as it should then she may just get another hour out in the snow when it arrives.
My own opinion is, if you are in the market looking for such an item then just go ahead and get the CosyYosy, but remember to think about size and Battery pack and waiting time
