I've purchased several jackets and vests from Ororo over the past six years both for myself and family (the original jacket I purchased still works beautifully). This vest has easily become one of my favorites and will definitely be one I will be reaching through throughout the fall and winter. I love the extra warmth the length of the jacket provides. Despite it's length it is still comfortable and easy to move in because the sides have stretchy material allowing you to easily bend down. It also has a two way zipper for extra comfort when seated. I ride horses and the double zipper makes it much easier to use a long vest comfortably in the saddle. The vest is loose enough to be able to layer under it and slim enough to layer over it if needed. The down fill makes it very warm on its own, but being able to turn on the heat and adjust the setting (low, medium and high) makes it very versatile to meet the needs of whatever situation you find yourself in. It takes the same battery as all my other Ororo jackets so it is easy to have a battery charged and ready to go whenever I need it. I've often been asked about the light on my jacket over the years and have always been able to honestly recommend Ororo heated apparel to anyone who asked.
