I probably have every product Ororo makes, but their heated down vests are my favorite, so I was excited to try their new heated down jacket. I really like it as it is very warm, but lightweight. I actually haven’t needed to turn on the heater yet, it is that warm!
I love that it’s packable. It does not seem to be weather-proof, but I guess that’s the price you pay for it being lightweight and foldable. It did dry quickly when it got wet.
The hood does not have a mechanism for tightening it, but it still seems to stay up. I like that the light indicating the battery activation is down low so it draws less attention.
I am happy I bought it but would appreciate different colors. They have brown and green, but I like cooler colors and those are both warm tones. I have one of their violet jackets and love it.
I would recommend this jacket if you are looking for a jacket that will keep you warm but that is lightweight. It runs a little large. I usually wear a medium in most tops, but for all my Ororo products I wear a small. I did order a medium initially, but it was very easy to exchange it for a small. And it still allows me to wear a bulky sweater under it if I need to.
