I use this to ride a motorcycle in lower temperatures. It works extremely well.

I wear it to work on different TV shows cuz the stages are often cold. EVERYONE sees the light on the jacket and everyone now wants one when I let them put their hands in my warm pockets. I think that sells them on the vest. Very impressive and keeps me warm. I LOVE THIS VEST!!!! The battery last all day, but I do turn it off and on during the work day. It’s light and very comfortable. But you do have to charge the battery every 6 weeks during the times you don’t wear it much and you have put it away in your closet.

Literally the softest and cushion-est vest! Gets so nice and warm super fast. Big pockets. Easy to use and recharge! I’d suggest a second battery just to always have one but it lasts a while.

I purchased this because I was sick of being cold all the time during Wisconsin winters and boy am I glad I did. This vest can be worn by itself or under another jacket (light or heavy). When it comes to running everyday errands to the grocery store, etc, I will wear just the vest despite the fact that it is in the 20's outside. When you're cold just turn it on high, once inside the warm store, turn it on low. In my experience the vest doesn't so much warm you up as prevent you from getting cold. The vest itself is also quite warm - I have had to turn the heating function off completely on several occasions because I just go too warm. The vest is also good for long walks outside. Start it out on high until you blood gets moving and then turn it down. Battery life is pretty good. If you keep it on high then expect it to last 4 hours or so, longer for the low and medium levels. Charging takes quite awhile. I've never set a timer but I figure 5-6 hours. As for fit, I first ordered a medium size given the sizing chart but wondered if the small would be a better fit so I also ordered a small. After some hemming and hawing I went with the small because the vest fit closer to the body which is what you want IMO since the heating elements are closer to your body as well. The return of the medium vest was flawless and I don't regret at all my decision to keep the smaller vest. I'm 5'9, 153lbs with a smaller build if that help. If you are thinking of picking up a heated vest, strongly consider this one.

I've had this product for a year. 1. I like that it's still working. 2. It is perfect for work and leisure as a top layer or under a jacket. 3. I think it looks good. 4. The battery also charges my phone.

I was very hesitant on this vest, and spent nearly a month going back and forth between this vest and others, due to the reviews I was reading. I went ahead and chanced it purchasing this vest over the others. So far so good with this one. My husband received this for Christmas, so he hasn't' gotten much use out of it due to our mild winter, but the days he did use it, he was very thankful. My husband works with concrete, outside, standing all day. He easily wears this under his big coat. He especially likes that there's heat for the back of the neck. He had a bit of an issue charging it (he was using wrong charging plug, but once we used the one that came with the vest, it charged overnight and was good to go for the whole next day. Will keep updated later this year when he can get several months use out of it rather than just a few after Christmas.

If you are ever cold again it’s your own darn fault. Works very well like the heated seats in my car. It took me a while to figure out a good water /wind proof coat to wear over it and cover my arms but now I’m set . If you are in construction you are missing out without one . Go work on the roof? No problem . Go work 3 floors below ground or in the freezers, sure thing! It’s ridiculous, should have got one years ago. It’s been about 35 deg at work in the morning with wind and I had to turn it down because it was too hot. There are 3 settings for heat easily changed from one to the other. I can use one full charge for about 3-4 nine hour days. It has a USB port where you can charge your phone too. The wall charger it comes with was DOA . Just used one I had already. Battery indicator works. No feeling of bulky wires or batteries. I’m 6’3” 240 got the 2XL and it’s a little big. Well put together,very lightweight and insulated on its own if you run out of charge. Fixed a problem for me. Would buy it again.

I've received a ton of looks and people asking me about this vest. They're attracted to the glow of the button whenever I have it on. It's like a mosquito to a bug zapper. One time I had this vest on with a sweatshirt underneath and it was pretty chilly outside (it was about 45 degrees F and breezy). A guy asked to hug me to get warm. Good thing I know him... if I didn't, my wife would have been rather suspicious of me. This vest is as good as advertised. I appreciate the fact that I can use the battery to recharge other things in the off season so that the battery can stay charged.

Great for cold weather and cool days wear alone without a jacket over it.

works great ,fits well , wish it had a right side chest pocket
