“Overall this is a nicely made vest. The materials feel high quality, zippers are nice and the stitching is good and consistent. The battery is easy to charge, has a level indicator and seems to last the stated times. The heat zones are inconsistent though, with the back being the warmest. The back portion does get nice and warm, maybe even hot when on high. The collar does not get as hot but does get warm enough to feel some heat when on high. The pocket area does not get hot at all, and on the high setting, this area only gets slightly warm. On the low setting, you can not feel any heat from the pocket area. On low, you can barely feel the neck area unless it's pressed right up against your skin.
For the money, it does supply some heat and is better than no heated vest, I just wish all the zones warmed up to the same temperature.”

We appreciate you sharing your experience, and we’ll pass your feedback along to our product team as we continue improving the consistency of heating across all zones.
“I feel like I am not a small guy, I wear a size 36 jacket so I went off of my measurements. I ordered a small according to my waist size and there was a good 4 inches of extra room on both sides! I understand if it were to be worn over other layers, but I think it was unreasonably big. I hadn’t even turned it on so I can speak on that. I might try an extra small.”
