“If you live in the Pacific Northwest, you know that being a sports mom often means spending hours outside in cold, damp, and unpredictable weather. Soccer fields, ice rinks, horse arenas, weekend events, and everything in between! I love supporting my kids in the activities they enjoy, but I don’t always love standing around freezing while doing it. That’s where my ORORO heated vest has become one of my favorite things!
I honestly don’t know why I waited so long to get one. It’s become something I reach for constantly, especially during the colder months. Whether I’m standing on the sidelines at a soccer game, watching my daughter ice skate, or spending the day at a mounted archery event, having that extra warmth makes such a difference. Instead of layering on a million shirts and still being cold, I can wear my vest and turn on the heat when I need it.
One of my favorite things is that I can adjust the heat depending on the weather. Some days in the PNW are just chilly enough to make you miserable when you’re standing still, while other days are downright freezing. Being able to add warmth without having to wear a huge, bulky coat is a game changer. I can still move around comfortably, help with equipment, take pictures, chase kids, and enjoy being outdoors without feeling bundled up.
ORORO has also become a family favorite because my daughter loves her Kids’ 4-Zone Heated Down Jacket. She wears it while riding and participating in mounted archery, and it’s been wonderful having something that helps keep her comfortable during our outdoor activities. Apparently, I’m not the only one in the family who appreciates a little extra warmth!
What I love most is that these aren’t products that sit in a closet waiting for the perfect occasion. We actually use them. From sporting events and barn days to everyday outdoor activities, they’ve become part of our regular cold-weather routine.
If you’re a sports parent, an outdoor enthusiast, an equestrian, or just someone who spends a lot of time outside in the Pacific Northwest, I really can’t recommend looking into ORORO enough. It’s one of those purchases that makes you wonder how you managed without it.
I may not be able to control the PNW weather, but at least I don’t have to freeze through another soccer game, ice skating session, or horse event! Definitely a win for this mom!”
“I purchased this same vest about four years ago, and it fits great. Ordered the same size which was a small, and this vest is super puffy around the chest and under the arms. It looks nothing like the small I had bought previously. Does not fit the same. Very disappointing.”
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Pam. We’re sorry to hear that the fit of this vest felt different from the one you purchased previously.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and will pass your feedback along to our product team as we continue reviewing fit and sizing guidance.
“This is my second heated vest, my first is still in great condition and it’s been years since I was given it as a gift. I love my vest! I keep it under my down coat on cold days and never fear the cold. I like them so much I’ve bought two others as gifts. This company is reputable and has outstanding customer service. I had an issue one time with a gift that I was giving someone and the wrong size was sent but the tag was just correct. They fixed it right away and sent it out so I could have the gift in time before the other was returned, and have me time to send it back. I get rave reviews from the person(s) I gifted them too. They also were telling me they were skiing, when someone stopped them to say they loved their Ororo also, that they were wearing. It is a sure thing, love the brand!”

“I previously saw a woman wearing this vest, when asked about it she said that she wears it at work, at home, to the kids sporting events. I was sold. We'll, she was absolutely right! I love this vest.”

“I love the Ororo vests, we have multiple in our family. I ordered 2 for gifts this year and the only feedback I can give is to have a gift shipping option where the package comes in a PLAIN box and not one labeled Ororo. As soon as it was on our doorstep, they knew what their gift was☹️”
“The vest is far too tight in the chest & very long. It is more suited for a tall thin man. I am only 5’6” & a B cup. Would love to return this as it doesn’t fit.”
Hi Shelly, thank you for your review. We have forwarded your opinion to our product team for further improvements. Please feel free to contact us at support@ororowear.com if you need any assistance.
“I had an Oruro vest before and loved it so much, I work outdoor and this vest with a sweater is all I need, it keeps me warm when I need it, I also bought an extra battery just in case but so far, the one battery is all I need for my 8-hour day outside.”
