Men's Large Black/Blue 7.2-Volt Lithium-Ion Soft Shell Heated Jacket with Detachable Hood and (1) 5.2 Ah Battery Pack

This jacket is great. Since I work outside it was a great addition to my many layers. I could still feel the warmth through three layers under the jacket. I'm posting a picture of me on a metal roof the coldest day of 2020.

This jacket is warm enough I rarely need to turn the heat on but when I do I'm warmed up immediately. My only regret is not buying one earlier.

This is such a nice jacket to have. I always get cold in the middle of my back but no more. This jacket has 3 heat settings and the hot is pretty dang hot, I was out in 21 degree weather and I had to turn it down. I also run pretty warm so for others this setting is probably welcome. The jacket does come with a USB-C charger to charge the battery pack. I ran the jacket about 4 hours without the battery dying on me so I'm not sure how long it will run but longer than that. Also you can use the battery pack to charge your phone which I thought was a really nice feature. The zippers are YKK and feel really good and sturdy and the fabric and seams feel like they're going to hold up for a long time. Defiantly my favorite jacket now.

Wow! and again Wow! This is a great jacket, well-made true to size, very warm even with out the heating element on. The Ororo men’s heated jacket has a water repellent polyester soft-shell outer layer with a little spandex in it for increased freedom of movement. The insulation and inner lining are also polyester breathable but wind resistant. There is one zippered pocket on the left outside, one Velcro pocket on the bottom rt inside and a zippered battery pocket on the lower left inside. All stitching is well done, and the main zipper has a wind flap behind it to help keep the wind out. The cuffs are open (not tubular ribbed) with fleece and the bottom of the jacket is also open but there are two stretch adjusters to help close the bottom a bit. The collar is a high collar with fleece that has a zipper cover so that your chin is not against the zipper when fully zipped up. The hood is fleeced lined with stretch adjusters to help pull it to more of a snorkel if required. There are three carbon fiber heating elements, two in the front and one in the back. All three are up high at the chest and shoulder area. The battery is Lithium-Ion Battery (5200 mAh, 7.4 V) and is rechargeable up to 800 times. The battery has 4 red LED lights that will tell you the amount of charge remaining, and it also has a USB port that will allow you to charge a cell phone if needed. Ororo states that the jacket will run 10 hrs. on low, 6 on Medium and 3 on high. The jacket comes with three different charging adapters, US, England and Europe but I could be wrong about the last two. The jacket works when the Ororo button on the left chest is pushed and held for 3 seconds. The jacket will then go into a 5 min. heat up mode with the Ororo symbol blinking red. After heat op mode is complete, the jacket turns down the heat to medium and the symbol turns white. The user can turn the jacket down further to low (blue) or back up to high (red) just by pushing the button. To turn off, push and hold for 3 seconds. Things to know, the battery is Lithium-Ion and if you plan on flying you need to check with the airlines to see if or how you need to travel with it. The Battery “WILL” set off a metal detector, but the jacket will not in my testing. Back to the flying, if you go through a scanner the wiring “WILL” show up and it really does look like you’re a walking bomb so be aware that you may be scrutinized a little more. If the inside lining does get wet, you should “NOT” turn the battery on. The jacket is washable but only if the battery is removed and the jacket is placed into a mesh bag. The jacket cannot be just thrown into the washer with the expectation that it will work properly afterwards. Some reviews disliked the size or height of the hood, I found it to be just fine extending past my face to provide a type of bill to keep water off the face. If you are wearing some type of a hat or helmet under the hood the little extra space helps IMO. If you were to remove the hood there is a flap/pocket to conceal the zipper on the jacket. Some reviews did not like the Ororo button being lit up when the jacket was on, really no issue just noise. The zipper battery pocket is just above waist high and somewhat just at or slightly above seatbelt level. I found no issue with it but then I did not get into an accident either. Things I did not like, other than the open cuffs I found this to be one of the nicest jackets that I’ve ever warn. Would I wear this jacket on an expedition to Mt. Everest, no. Would I wear this jacket waking the dog, going to the store, at the kid’s football game, going downtown to shop at non-mall stores or First night out, you bet-cha I would! This is a well-made jacket that keeps your core warm and you able to stand the elements just a little longer. Recommended.

Extremely good looking and very well made heated jacket. Like the black color with blue trim and the detachable hood is very handy. I did get the men’s instead of the women’s thinking it would give me more room especially if I’m wearing a heavy sweater but this is considered a men’s large and it JUST fits me so 4 stars instead of 5 for fit and sizing. Also there is too much head room in the hood so it looks silly with empty space but I’m not that concerned. Battery charged up in a few hours. Kit comes with all you need including UK charger adapters. It has different heat intensities to choose from with just a push of the button and it lights up too. So very cool. The battery is a bit on the large size and kind of heavy but it has its own dedicated pocket for it and does warm you up. The back and neck area I really felt the warmth. Never had a heated jacket before so this is going to be useful and definitely interesting. It says you can machine wash it but I’ve had heated throws which I did wash and they were never the same so I’m not sure what to do if it does get dirty, maybe spot clean? Overall, very cool jacket.

If you haven't ventured into the world of heated jackets, let me tell you, you're in for a warm treat. These ORORO jackets have built in heating units in the chest, back and around the collar. You power them with the new world of batteries we are currently enjoying. You plug the battery unit in to house current to fully charge, plug the battery into the jacket, turn it on to your desired temperature... and then go face whatever Mother Nature has to throw at you on a cold day. They work, they're warm, and they're comfortable. They even look great when you wear them! What more could you ask for in a coat? I'm glad you asked. ORORO rigged these jackets up with you and your cold weather exposure in mind by adding three warmth levels. If you're the kind who's out in the weather for an entire 8 hour shift, put it on the lower setting and and you'll get warmth (at a little lower level) for 8 hours. If you're normal need is only for an hour or two, set in on the highest setting and you'll get a LOT of warmth for those couple hours. If your task of the day is in between a full day and a couple hours, use the middle setting and you'll get a steady supply of wonderful warmth for 4 hours or so. All it takes is a press on the button to make your selection of desired heat vs. time and you've got it! The button even changes color to let you know what setting you have it on (Red for warmest level but shortest duration, Blue for lower level warmth but for all 8 hours of your day, and White for a more moderate heat assist for 4 hours or so). So, they've got you covered whether you're at work all day or out raking the leaves or shoveling the snow for an hour or two. You're going to love it when you shovel snow. It comes with a hood for those kinds of days when it's cold enough to demand one. I don't usually care for hoods at all, so I detach mine... but I do save it for those awfully bitter cold days... and during those, I'm more than happy the ORORO folks decided to include one. *Just a note... if you're like me and you like to ride your motorcycle deep into the colder days, you're gonna LOVE this jacket, my friends! And along those same lines, if you ride bicycles or walk as exercise, these jackets make all those sorts of activities much more tolerable for a much longer extended season.

ORORO Men's Large Black/Blue 7.4-Volt Lithium-Ion Soft Shell Heated Jacket with Detachable Hood and One 5.2 Ah Battery Pack is not my first heated jacket. These jackets are nice, but there is the issue of the battery weight. The battery adds about a half pound, all in one spot which goes with these jackets. Having said that it is a well made jacket, light weight, waterproof and looks sharp. The battery is well placed and don't feel the weight when moving around. It has four pockets (one for the battery brick on the lower jacket inside), a zip front, removable hood that gives it a rugged look, at least in my eyes. The length is down to the hips which protects against back drafts when you bend as this length jacket can ride up. The coat is insulated, has a padded feel to it which is nice and holds the carbon fiber wires used with the heating element. You have to go looking for the wires in the coat, it doesn't feel odd at all. The inside trim is a nice soft fleece like material which adds to the cozy feel to it. With its construction, on warmer Fall and Spring days you can leave the battery at home. The jacket without the battery is warmer than my other jacket and when turned on I can feel the heat. Having described its construction, it is a stylish jacket. The hood besides being practical, is part of the look and although, it is detachable you'll want to keep it part of the coat. The sleeves are comfortable and not baggy, the length fits me just fine. The entire coat fits well and is sized just right for a Large. The blue color which highlight and contrasts with the black adds a nice touch. Additionally, the jacket has three heat setting with the switch in the breast pocket logo area which lights up when on. This is a jacket that will keep you warm and looks good. You can see some style went into it and no one will know its heated except for the glowing logo over the breast pocket area.

Wow! I was wife of the year with this. My husband smokes cigars so yes that would mean smoking outside. There are some very cold nights and his heaters sometimes don't cut it. This bday gift scored many points in my column. He loves it and says it can really heat up. Easy to charge and simple to use. We even bought one for his buddy in Illinois.
