“I figured it would be a good investment because Colorado winters get pretty cold, and it was a good deal when I bought it on amazon.
Heating/warmth: Even without the heater on, it’s still a very warm coat and I found that I wasn’t cold at all, even when I was outside when it was 10 degrees F. The heaters don’t cover the whole jacket, but they produce a nice radiating effect that makes your whole body feel warm. The preheat mode is great, when you turn on the jacket it heats on the highest setting for five minutes and then automatically drops to a lower heat setting. Even without it though, it warms up very quickly. The only thing I wish it had were heaters on the front pockets to keep your hands warm, like I’ve seen in some other jackets.
Battery life/charging: Battery pack is heavy but it doesn’t weigh down the pocket nearly as much as I thought. It’s very easy to use and it has four dots to show you how much battery life is left. It even charges with USB-C, which is great to see as a lot of these kinds of products charge with proprietary or older connectors that just makes it more of a hassle. With a combination of high and medium heat settings, I’d say I get about 3-4 hours of use. Not bad at all.
Jacket feel/mobility: The jacket is a little heavy, but that’s to be expected because it’s more like a coat than it is a jacket. It’s still relatively easy to move around with. Order a size that won’t be extremely tight on your body, but you don’t want it too loose either because then you can’t feel the heat.
Experience in snow/rain: Water resistance is great. Even when I was getting pummeled by heavy snow, the inside of the jacket stayed completely dry.
Overall experience: Jacket was a great price and even included a storage bag. Battery is easy to charge and lasts pretty long, and heat works well. I 100% recommend if you live in any sort of cold climate.”
“I had to get this for my husband who is always cold below 80 degrees. He is so excited for the fall and winter in South Texas/Gulf Coast so that he can wear his jacket. He loves the fabric and the fit. Thank you!”
“I photograph many outdoor sporting events and activities in cold weather. This coat is the best. The heater replaces layers of bulky clothing to stay warm. The lighted temperature control button is a conversation starter. Christmas gift from my children a couple of years ago and still going strong.”
“Very nice coat. Seemed a little short at the waist, but believe that's just because I'm used to large heavy coats. I live in Iowa and have some pretty cold weather in the winter. I usually wear a sweatshirt over it at work (mostly to prevent it getting to dirty) and have been impressed with this coat.”
