“This is great gilet, brilliant idea to have heating pads, the three heat settings are nicely set and the battery pack lasts for ages even on full power.”
“Excellent long gillet which works well on it's own without the heating element.
The battery lasts quite long, more than 10 hours on low settings.
I would have liked a lower back heating element and my unit requires to disconnect then reconnect the battery before each use in order to be able to long press the start/heating settings button (only if it hasn't been used for longer than one day, it works fine otherwise during the same day I don't need to do this reset). In this way you can assess the battery status as well.
I used it for motorcycle riding in cold weather and am very happy with this purchase. Have not washed it yet, hence unable to comment on its long lasting quality).
Charges quickly in few hours to full battery. Full heating mode is quite strong for my liking nevertheless extremely useful in very cold weather below -5 degrees.
Size is accurate for me, chest size 115-120cm, I can fit extra layers underneath without difficulty. Quite long which works best for me.”
