“I ordered this after trying the zip vest in XL. While I like the zip vest I felt it didn’t sit close enough to get full heat benefits. This is a major upgrade, sits nice and close and the dual batteries keep the vest going all day. I’m 6’2” 240lb athletic built disabled veteran with back issues so the heat really helps keep the back comfy while doing outdoor security work. Only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars is because it doesn’t come in L Tall.”
“My fifth Ororo product and this base layer vest does not disappoint. I currently have several heated vests, a heated hoody, and heated gloves. The vest is a great addition to the warming setup. The vest is heavier than I expected but that is actually a positive. It is still light enough to wear under a sweater and looks nice enough to wear as an outer layer. My first dual-battery setup and the extended life is excellent because this is a wear all day kind of vest. The power button is discrete at the waistline and vibrates to let you know it is done preheating and when you change from low, medium, high. The fit runs true to size
This will be perfect for cold hockey rinks and soccer sidelines. I have discovered there are very few things better than an awesome heated vest under my jacket while I am on the hockey bench coaching. The heat fades into the background and I am just comfortable without feeling like I am wearing an electric blanket. This is a fairly subtle Ororo product because the battery pockets are discrete and the power button is low.
This will be a great underlayer for skiing. It will fit nicely on top of a baselayer and easily ride under a fleece or ski jacket. The armpits are cut generously making freedom of movement unrestricted. I debated purchasing the similar version with sleeves and am happy with the freedom of movement the vest provides without sleeves. The warmth is great too – the placement of the heating components is well thought out and provides comfortable warmth in the right spots.
Battery life, especially with two batteries running at the same time, is very impressive. The other benefit of owning so many Ororo options is that I never run out of available batteries when I need them.”
Thank you for sharing such detailed information about your experience with this vest. Also, thank you for being such a loyal customer of ours. This trust of yours makes us extremely touched.
You mentioned that the vest was slightly heavier than expected, but this actually turned out to be an advantage. It can be worn as an inner layer under a sweater, or worn as an outer garment directly. This is exactly what we aimed to achieve in our design - the concept of "one piece of clothing for multiple uses".
Once again, we sincerely appreciate your sincere recommendation and continuous support. We wish you this just-right warmth. If you have any new experiences or suggestions, please feel free to let us know at any time!
