I really like it, it is thin and lightweight. I find that it is pretty insulated without the heating elements turned on. In using it, I usually turn it on high first to get myself warmed up a bit; Then I go between medium and low to maintain a good comfortable warmth. In doing that I also preserve the battery life, which for me stretches out to be about 4 to 6 hours of use. I do wish the elements would extend a little lower on the back of the vest it heats from the neck area to about the lower part of the shoulder blades. It would be even better to go the width of the lower back (both sides of the spine would be great). But overall I love it. I have given one as a gift to a person who always seems to be cold when everyone else is just fine in the room, and she loves it.

So far nice and warm I really like the neck warmer. This is a good quality piece that runs just a bit small. Battery lasts about 4 hrs on high, 6-7 on medium. We dressed in layers long sleeve T-shirt-Vest-Light jacket and we were always comfortable , in fact we would turn the vest off because we were getting a bit warm The temp was about 36-40 Probably the only thing I don't like is the battery is semi proprietary so you probably need to by Ororo battery. I also think the price is a bit high ( should maybe be $100 or less) but I guess you get what you pay for.

I bought this for my mom as a Christmas present so she still has not tried it on. I how ever have... I bought a mens large for her (ordered a size up) so she can wear a hoodie under it (she is 5'3 maybe 5'4, but has a large chest) I believe the sizing is off and they run small... based on the size chart I should order a small for myself.. but there is no way that would fit, it would be to small. I posted pictures of how the large fits on me. (I am 5'7 and weigh 156 pounds. My waist is 24 inches, hips are 32 inches, and chest 36inches)

This is a nice heated jacket but I wish they make the heat a bit more higher temperature, to me this jacket is nit warm enough. The current heat level isn’t high enough for the real cold weather and I’m living in Los Angeles. The heating temperature is mild even on high. In addition, I wish they place more heating wires on the chest areas like other companies I see on Amazon.

I love the warmth of the vest and the fit as well. I have worn it on a waterfowl hunt and a trout fishing trip and works well. My only complaint is that the battery is annoying when you bend over when vest is zipped noticed this more when I was fishing as I was bending over to take fish off or to bait hook That's why I didn't give it 5 Stars it definitely keeps you warm

This was a gift to my husband who is easily chilled especially during the winters. He loves how this vest keeps him warm plus the feature of the heated collar. Now the house furnace does not need to be cranked up this winter. The vest is worn all day. Considering ordering a 2nd battery so that it can be swapped with the drained one without waiting for it charge up.

So far it works as described. I always wonder how long the batteries will truly last (not in one use but over the year). That said my parents who are visiting cold idaho for winter are thrilled with their vests. Their only complaint is that the light control button and indicator at the top left (from wearers perspective) is hard for them to see while wearing and trying to change setting. They wish it was near the bottom of the vest instead.

Batteries bit smaller than I was expecting. That’s good.

Ordered this for hunting. Sitting hours in tree stand worked out well keeps core warm it was 23 degrees out with a slight wind turned on set to high and once warm turned off after 4 hours had 1 and a half bars on charge out of 4 bars. If you want extra room and not tight and plan to wear over hoodie order a size larger this was tight for my normal size. Vest material loud nylon if your going to have game danger close then consider this before you order. I would give it a 8 out of ten. Heat element in lower back on chest and neck vest gets warm quick. Battery low takes around 3 or 4 hours to charge. Hope this helps

Got this for my son for Christmas as he working in the elements all day. I tried it on when we received it and it works very well and fits perfectly. The vest came in a really nice back that he can store the vest in with the battery pack as well. One thing that we found out to our surprise is that the collar is heated as well but unless you have it completely zipped up or you have another coat over this vest, you really can't feel the neck warming feature. If you need something to help keep you warm this winter while you are out folicing or working in the elements, this vest is a good choice.
