“It’s August, I’ve gotten form emails asking for review for best I got last week. I have no review to say because it’s 95° out. The multiple emails asking for a review is kind of obnoxious.
When it’s cold out and I get a chance to try it then I can do a review but please stop sending emails asking me to do so
So I cannot review, I cannot recommend, I haven’t even had it on yet cause I literally got it last week and I’m sure not gonna try it when it’s 95 to 100° out. They should allow people time and not send multiple emails, almost every day. I’m getting one.”

“My wife loves her heated vest. I bought it for her and she wears it all the time. She has a lot of people who are intrigued by the concept and some have purchased Oreo heat vests because of how much she praises the quality and design.”
“Best Christmas gift ever! What a great accessory for skiing in Colorado! Staying warm while enjoying the slopes is the ticket! I would highly recommend the quilted vest for all occasions.”
“I am a fire investigator in northern MN (the depths of arctic hell). I spend long days digging through frozen, burned debris in -50F to 10F weather and need good quality apparel to keep me warm.
This vest is perfectly warm (I love the neck heating coils), the battery is hardly noticeable and nicely compact, and I have not had any issues washing it yet. I wash it on delicates cycle with the zippers closed and I hang it to dry.
I wear the vest over a thin base layer shirt and Carhart coveralls and Jacket over the vest and I stay toasty warm on sub zero days (on average 8 hour days).
I have started to use the vest for watching my kids hockey games also and it is plenty warm for the MN arenas. In fact, I have to have it on the lowest setting otherwise I sweat and that's with the vest and a base layer only.
I also used the vest when I shovel and resurface our pond for skating but I was way too hot and was dripping sweat in single digit temperatures (Fahrenheit).
The Women's fit was perfect shape for my body. I am 5'11" and weigh roughly 180lbs (pear shape) and a size M fit perfectly. I am normally a size medium in shirts & tops so i'd say this is true to size. This gave me a nice tight but movable fit to gain the full effect of the heated vest.
The pockets are deep enough that I can comfortably fit my iphone 14 max pro in them and still zip the pocket. This also keeps my phone from dying when I am on a fire scene for 8 hours.
On average, I get 5 hours of run time with the vest on high. I purchased a spare battery since I spend 8-12 hours on a scene. Spend the extra money for the spare battery, so you can just swap out batteries while the other one is charging. You will be happy you did and trust me you will wear this for every outdoor activity.
Overall this vest is the best heated clothing that I have tried so far and highly recommend it.”
“I have to plan travel and activities around how cold it will be because I so quickly lose feeling in my fingers and toes, and get cold enough to be miserable. I have only tried the vest once so far but I think it could be a real game changer for me!”
