Men's Large Black 7.4-Volt Lithium-Ion Lightweight Heated Vest with (1) 5.2 Ah Battery and Charger

I bought one of these for me and my partner. She loves hers and was an Ace as a gift. For anyone who knows someone who is often cold this is a real nice thing to have around. I find you can get about 4-5 hours out of it, if using medium or high settings. Less if using strictly high setting. You can buy additional battery packs if you really wanted to have a few around. But this is usually plenty enough for me to stay warm throughout the activity that I’m doing especially around the house or the yard or running an errand. Can take about 45 hours to fully recharge the battery. They actually give you a variety of accessories including European plug adapters which I probably won’t use anytime soon but kind of a nice gesture. They also include some branding stickers. My only gripe about the product is for the price point I would hope that the seams and zippers would be a little bit better. I feel like the inner pouch where the battery pack lives, that the zipper feels a little feeble in May not work overtime, which would cause some frustration considering that’s where the battery pack is secured. I have also trimmed some loose threads off the garment. This makes me worry about the longevity of the product. It is also machine washable which is nice and they recommend using a mesh laundry bag. Despite a few loose threads in my concerns about zippers, I really do love this fast and often use it even without the battery pack as it is quite warm. It’s really a great item to have around especially during the fall or winter in cooler climates.

I absolutely love this heated vest. I have to be out in all types of weather throughout the year and am always cold. This vest heats up instantly, remembers my last setting and cools down very quickly. I was even able to have the company logo embroidered on the right side chest. I will be looking at other heated items for the future. The only down side is the size and weight of the battery, however I'm sure I'll get used to it.

I've purchased several Ororo heated items. They do a nice job keeping me warm in cold weather. My daughter plays ice hockey and we spend most of the year in freezing ice rinks. I layer this vest on top of a sweater to stay really warm. I get a lot of compliments when people see it. I highly recommend Ororo. Fit is as expected.

Got this product Men's Large Black 7.4-Volt Lithium-Ion Lightweight Heated Vest with 5.2 Ah Battery and Charger recently. It's your basic puffy coat design. The battery attaches inside the vest on the side. There are left and right side zippered pockets on the outside. It is simple to recharge the battery and it doesn't take long to recharge. It will definitely keep you warm

Ordinarily, I would pass on something like this thinking it is a gimmick. However, this ORORO heated vest really works! It is actually very comfortable and has become one of my favorite pieces of outerwear for the Fall and Winter. I showed it to a couple of my golfing coworkers and they believe that it would be ideal for the golf course. The vest is close fitting and can be worn as a inner layer under a jacket for colder conditions. On the highest setting, you can really feel the warmth within about 10-20 seconds of turning on the vest. I like the multiple heat settings. I ran it on, "medium" for an entire afternoon at work. The charger that is included is specific to the ORORO apparel, but can be used on several of their clothing items. Charging the vest 5.2AH battery takes about 4 hours from completely depleted. You can purchase spare batteries if you wanted to change them to use on the highest setting for an extended period. I was so impressed with the vest that I ordered a set of the heated mittens to give as a Christmas gift to a friend. If they are as good as the vest, they are a sure winner. If you need something to keep you warm while walking, golfing or general outdoor activities, get one of these vests!

This vest comes in a pouch that holds the battery and charging system as well as the vest. Not sure if I will use the pouch since the vest will hang in a closet. The vest is reasonably stylish. It's your basic puffy coat design. Would be nice on a work site, fishing trip, a winter outdoor activity, or something to wear around the house or cabin. I could see me using this with or without the heating appliance. I am a 5 foot 8 inch male at 168 lbs. This large size has plenty of room for a couple of layers. I am probably at the low end of a large size. The zipper goes all the way up and hugs the neck very well. The battery is compact, charges easily, and has the standard 4 light charge indicator system. I appreciate that the compartment that houses the battery is toward the back. Out of the way if your pockets. A nice feature is the European power converters that come with the unit. The control mechanism on the left breast of the coat is easy to operate. The color indicators are convenient and easy to interpret. Red (warmest) White (warmer) and Blue (warm). I am seriously look at one of their fleece jackets as well.

I just used my ORORO Men's Large Black 7.4-Volt Lithium-Ion Lightweight Heated Vest with One 5.2 Ah Battery and Charger. It was awesome! I’m outdoors a lot and I don’t like being cold. This vest is perfect for me. First I charged up the compact battery (charger included) plug it into the vest and zipped up the battery pocket. You just press the button on the chest, wait a few minutes to warm up. It’s ready when the lighted button stops blinking, then you press the button to what heat setting you need. My wife stole it from me, I’m going to have to order another one!

Really well thought-out heated vest. The insulation is thin, for wearing under a coat or shell. You wouldn't want to wear any insulation under it, that would defeat the purpose. The large size is a little snug on me, but will work well as an under-layer. No flaws in the stitching or material. The heat is on the upper back and hand pockets, and the collar is heated, which is really great. There are three heat levels, with the controller on the chest. The slim battery pack zips into a pocket at the left hip. It is out of the way both sitting and standing, unlike some others I have tried. The battery is approximately the size and shape of a large wallet. The user manual covers everything, which is nice. The battery charges by USB-C rather than USB micro, which means you'll need to keep the USB-C cable with you, as these are not yet common. In fact, this is my first USB-C device. A charger and international adapters are included, and the whole kit comes in a zippered pouch that I can probably use for something else. The battery pack also has a USB out for other uses. This vest is ideal for all sorts of winter activities. Just put it on under your regular winter coat. I took it out yesterday biking in the cold, and I was toasty warm. In fact, when I got home, I found I had actually sweated underneath it - I need to turn the power down next time. Really pleased with this - they did the electrics right, unlike another coat I tested where the battery is in a very bad spot.

"Gadget Reviews" list the Ororo as one of their top 10 heated jackets and I see why. It's built for layer and fits me perfectly (female that always wears a men's medium). The battery attaches inside the vest on the side and does not interfere with seating, walking or a seat belt. It heats up quickly on the back, neck (neck is super nice) and belly. The battery, while small and light, packs enough punch for 2-3 hours on high and 5 hours on low. What I like - Nice unisex fit - outter pockets -great for layer - 7.4V. batteries last 5 hrs.(low), 2-3 hrs. (high). How it works - It works like an electric blanket, but via a lithium batter - batter is charged via USB charger -push button on vest powers batter on and off - LED light indicates if vest is pre-heating or on given heat setting

It's your basic puffy coat design. Would be nice on a work site, fishing trip, a winter outdoor activity, or something to wear around the house or cabin. I could see me using this with or without the heating appliance. I am a 5 foot 8 inch male at 168 lbs and this medium fits snuggly with a light shirt on. I am probably at the extreme end of a Medium size. I will probably eventually get a larger size. Even if I don't gain weight, which I might. Let's not go there. The zipper goes all the way up and hugs the neck. I like this. The battery is compact, charges easily, and has the standard 4 light charge indicator system. I appreciate that the compartment that houses the battery is toward the back. Out of the way if your pockets. A nice feature is the European power converters that come with the unit. The control mechanism on the left breast of the coat is easy to operate. The color indicators are convenient and easy to interpret. Red (warmest) White (warmer) and Blue (warm). Heating elements are located on both sides of the upper back, the lower front and the collar. The elements in the lower front act as a hand warmer (located just inside the pockets). All of the elements are either on or off. You cannot select which elements you want on. I'm not sure why there are no elements on the lower back or chest. That would be nice. Three temperature settings allow you to pick your heat intensity. I have not worn this vest for extra long periods of time since my needs are more short term situations (3 hours and less) so I cannot comment on the actual length of the charge. I can say that during 3 hours uses, while varying the temperature setting across the board, it uses around 30-40% of the charge. The documentation suggests Red (131 F - 3.5 hrs), White (113 F - 6 hrs), Blue (100 F - 10 hrs). Based on my experience I have no reason to believe this is not true. Machine washable gentle. Hang Dry.
