“I bought this vest about 4 years ago and LOVED it. It stopped working so I bought the updated version a few weeks ago in the same size.
Things I love: the new battery size is fantastic! The neck area heats up fast and hot. Still a great vest and worth the purchase.
Things I wish were different: the medium I bought is strangely bigger than the last version I owned - so if I wear a sweatshirt under it it fits better. The heating elements are further away on the abdomen section so it doesn't feel as warm as my last one. Also, the fill seems to be a different product and isn't as fluffy (? ) as my last version. For these reasons I dropped one star....but ororo, you are 5 stars in my for making this vest!
If I could offer to ororo a couple of thoughts - the vest has been by far my FAVORITE gift I ever received and I wear it daily around my house, going out to run errands and under a coat when hiking. I would recommend a different fabric for the inside of the pockets and would also ask for this version of the vest to have a detachable hood or a plain black white or gray Zipper.
Would I still recommend? OH YEAH! It's like a part of me all fall, winter and spring.”
“My first ORORO vest I purchased last month was the fleece style, and was too big, even though I got my normal size small. So I gave the classic style a try, ordering the x-small size. This fits perfectly. I am very pleased with my second purchase. Based on my two purchases, these vests run a size smaller than you would normally buy.”
“This is the first heated vest I've ever tried. It fit perfectly, I am 5/5 140 lbs, hourglass figure and bought a size S. I could fit a light hoodie underneath. I loved the heat on my back and neck. Felt great!”
“The heat doesn't consistently stay on. It turns on and off. I could barely feel the heat on the stomach area. The back and neck heat feel good when they're on. Size fits well. The hottest setting still isn't warm enough for what I'd like and it doesn't last as long as I'd like before the battery dies.”
“I spend a lot of cold mornings on the soccer fields. This vest has been a game changer. Very warm and comfortable. I’ve tried other competitors but this is the best one yet.”
