UPDATE: FOURTH winter and it's still perfect!!!

UPDATE: My fourth winter with this vest and original battery and it's still amazing. I can hardly believe it, four winters of hard wear!!!I work and play outside so I did a lot of research and this heated vest is the best ever. All heat is great, but the back of the neck is my favourite - way better than any scarf, it's like being warmed from the inside out. I can still wear a scarf as well to cover my face if the wind or snow is really biting. And I love how it keeps my belly AND my hands warm. Although I feel less heat in my hands in the pockets than in my belly and back and neck areas. That doesn't really matter though if it's raining or really cold because I have to wear an extra jacket over the vest anyway so I stay dry and my arms stay warm. I wear it for cycling, hiking and working outdoors all day at a nursery. I've had to lend it to co-workers and friends when they got miserably cold. Seriously this vest is a game changer. Once I've warmed up in the morning I usually only need it on low or I turn it off so I don't get too hot. I turn it on at least a few hours every day and only need to charge it three times a week. Washing it is no problem. I take out the battery pack and wash it in a mesh bag as directed. I have the old model battery which is a bit bulky, but I only feel it when I''m crouched bending forward or putting on my seatbelt and it's nothing to complain about. It's sooo worth it. Thanks Ororo!

Lightweight, Warm, Stylish

It looks and feels expensive. I was very impressed with the packaging, and surprised it squished into such a small bag. The material is so soft and smooth. It's very lightweight and fits me perfectly. The battery pack is sort of bulky, but doesn't hang below the bottom of the vest.The neck heats up hot, and instantly the lower back is quick and warm. The front heating elements aren't very warm and the first few times I wore the vest I couldn't tell of they were working or not.I work outdoors, all night long and so far (it's only October in Canada) I'm very toasty. Its slightly bulky when I put a hoody or jacket over it.I'm very curious to see how it holds up in a few months when its -20cEdited on April 2024.I still wear theis vest every winter. It is one of my favourite things to wear. I even bought an extra battery for longer nights!

The media could not be loaded. This vest has saved my life! This is my second ororo vest purchase in the last 3 years. I wear it everyday to work in the wintertime. Fits perfectly over my uniform and keeps me toasty in this -30 degree weather. I even wore this ice fishing and stayed comfortably warm. It’s light weight and easy to use. You can even wash it in the bag it comes in. I charge the battery every evening and it lasts up to 6 hours. You need this vest if you are working in cold conditions or just always the cold one at work!

My husband got me this for an early Christmas gift. I use it for about 15 minutes on high, around 8 times a day and the battery lasts about a week. It keeps me very warm. The front pockets and upper back are the only things that heat up but they get hot on high! Its wonderful. The quality of this seems good. I have not tried to wash it yet. It fits nicely over a hoodie. At least the size I got. Which seems to fit loose enough to be comfortable but tight enough to be flattering. I am 5'10, 180lbs and I got an XL. seems pretty true to size. The zipper hasn't caught on anything. Its very comfortable to wear in my opinion. I put the battery in the zipper pocket (where the cord is) but not in the little pocket, I can barely feel it on my back. I know its there. If I put the battery in the little pocket inside the zipper pocket I feel it and its very uncomfortable.

I LOVE this thing

This thing has changed my professional life. I often work in very cold environments, and this vest makes the difference between being miserable and being perfectly comfortable. Very handy when working indoors in underheated spaces, because it doesn't get in the way like a coat might. Outside, under a coat, I often don't even need to turn it on. But when I do, it's like getting a warm hug. I was worried the hot collar would bother me, but I almost always have something on underneath that protects my neck, so it's actually quite nice. The battery is small, but right against my hip bone, so maybe size up to keep that from being uncomfortable. I am 5'8", 140lb, not curvy, and the size M is perfect for me, both under and over other clothes. It even looks good! Many of my colleagues have ordered their own Ororo vests since seeing me wear mine. The battery does take a long time to charge, so you might want to order a second battery if you're going to have it on high for more than a few hours. My only (tiny) complaint is that the light is in a place that I find hard to see, so checking what setting I'm on can be annoying.
