Women's Large Black 7.2-Volt Lithium-Ion Lightweight Heated Vest with (1) 5.2 Ah Battery and Charger

I love electric clothes. I have three other items and I use them all the time when it’s cold out. Im happy to have this new item for my winter rotation! This vest is a nice option. The zippers all work well, and it looks basically like a regular item of clothing while you’re wearing it, except for the light on the on/off button, which is noticeable. But if anyone sees it, they’ll probably be jealous that you’re not cold! The vest heated up quickly. I left it on low heat for the day. The battery didn’t seem to last as long as other items I have, but it worked for a while. The battery fits conveniently in a hidden interior pocket and I don’t feel it while I’m wearing the vest so it’s very comfortable. I washed the vest in the washing machine and let it air dry and it came out really well.

This was something that I got as a trial item and it is another great product from ORORO. I got this for a significant other and it is a winner. These vests and other heated apparel products work very well. This one has the new smaller 4.8 Ah mini battery. The vest came directly from ORORO since they are only available on-line. It included the vest, packed in a nice storage/travel bag with the battery, charger and instruction booklet. The battery was 75% charged and ready for use right out of the packaging. The vest is a nice light gray and fits close to the advertised Medium sizing. It has a logo switch on the left front to activate the heating elements. The vest has three levels of warmth. On the lowest level you get a nice warm vest for cool weather (60s) and on the highest setting, it will keep you pretty warm in temps down in the 40s. The vest is not bulky and can be worn as a layer under a Winter coat or light jacket. The heating will last from about 2.5 hours on the highest setting to 7-8 hours on the lowest setting. The battery will take about 2.5 hours to charge from fully expended with the included charger. The charger is universal voltage 110-240V AC so it would also be great for travel. All around this is a great item!

This is a really nice piece of heated gear that should be on every woman's wish list. The Ororo vest comes in a nice zippered bag with its lithium battery and charger. The battery has a button to show it's state of charge and even has a USB output (cell phone maybe). The battery does take a while to charge to 100% so plan on charging it in advance of using the vest. The vest itself is made of both nylon and polyester so it's extremely lightweight. The stitching is quality, no loose threads and no missed stitches. The zipper works easily and there is a wide flap under it so no cold air can get in through it or heat out of it. Using the vest is simple, plug the battery into the coax adapter in the inside zippered pocket and turn on the jacket with the rubberized button on the jackets breast. It has three heat settings and the highest setting will keep you toasty for a couple of hours. A lot of heated clothing only heats your chest but the Ororo vest heats you neck and upper back as well. I tested the temp and the neck was the warmest (possibly because the elements were closer to the fabric). The section on the back between your shoulder blades was also quite warm and the front area slightly less so but as those elements are behind the pockets you can warm your hands as well. While the vest is not as tapered as most women's clothing, it is comfortable and stylish. It heats your core up quickly so your body can take care of your extremities. On a 35 degree morning taking a walk on our rail trail was just as comfortable as in the warm spring or summer. Not just for outdoor enthusiasts, I could also see using this vest or another Ororo product for wearing in a cold office or home as well. Nothing beats keeping warm and this Ororo vest does keep you warm in style.

My wife is in love with her new ORORO Women's size medium Vest. This is the lightweight version that is so popular these days. Once we charged the battery with the included charger, she put it on to wear around the house. With the 3 different temperature settings, she is able to keep it on low while spending hours at her desk. The heating around the neck and mid-section is perfect for her to wear outdoors and stay warm. The construction of this vest is well made. This is our second ORORO heated product and we find them to stand up to wear for several seasons now. Excellent product I will get again.

The Ororo heated vest is going to be such a help to me this winter. I am very cold sensitive and I am frequently uncomfortable when others are just fine. Shoveling the snow will be less miserable now!! The vest arrived well packaged. Inside the box, it comes in a net bag with all the accessories and instruction booklets. You have the vest itself, the battery pack, the charger cord, and the block. The instructions are pretty easy to follow and understand with good diagrams. There are 3 heat settings, low, med and high, activated by the 'beam me up, Scotty' button on the left chest. I could feel the heat in about 5 minutes. The only thing I don't really like is that I see no indication of the setting. I pressed the button to turn it on, again to the next higher level, then again to high. But there is no indication that I can see. Is it off now? I could only be sure it was turned off by unplugging the battery. No biggie. The battery, by the way, is not too heavy, but it rides in an inside pocket that sits on your left hip bone. That could be uncomfortable if you have other gear to carry. I am 5'10" and 170 pounds, and the medium size fits me snugly. However, I like it that way and do not anticipate needing lots of layers with the heat. You do need to be careful with getting it wet, like with any electrical thing. The instructions say you can gently wash the vest as long as the battery pack is out. But I'd be careful.... You are also cautioned not to use it with people who cannot tell you they are getting too hot, when you are sleeping, on those with diabetes, those under the influence, etc. Common sense is required!! I'd rate the Ororo women's vest a solid 4.5 stars, a full 5 if there was a setting indicator. But still 2 enthusiastic thumbs up!! Bring on that snow! (Not really)

These jackets are great! I have previously had a hoodie from Ororo and it is awesome and my wife has borrowed my hoodie more than I have worn it, so it was time to get her one. This vest allows her to feed our livestock and move about while still staying warm. A full jacket can restrict your arm movements so you have to chose from being warm or being able to do your work. The vest allows for both. She really likes that the back of her neck warms up along with the hand pockets up front. There are other areas that heat up as well. The material is comfortable and with several heat settings it is easy to adjust the temperature as it warms up during the day. She said she likes the over all style with the red ribbing along the front. I know how she looks is just as important to her as anything else. I appreciate Ororo as now I can wear mine and stay warm too.

Picked up this Ororo Women's heated vest to help cut through the cold PA weather in the fall and winter. This is my first piece of heated clothing, and I am very impressed. In the box is a carrying bag for the entire kit, and inside the bag was the puffy vest, an instruction book, the rechargeable battery, and the universal charging kit. The universal charging kit was a surprise, as many things don't come with both American and European plugs, but this vest did!. Once the battery was fully charged, it was time to put the vest to the test. I took the vest outside on a pretty chilly day. Not only did the vest keep warm because it was a puffy vest, but once it was powered on, it was awesome. 3 different temperature settings activate into 3 different heating zones: pockets, back of the neck, and upper back. "Preheating" was quick, and the vest was a comfortable temperature very quick. Overall, this is a great product and will be checking out other Ororo products for this winter. Definitely recommend this vest!

I got this for my wife due to her always being cold when we are out running errands. She doesn't like the huge bulky design jackets to wear here in Ohio's weather. She loves this product. It's exceptional quality made that's thick, light weight, and easy to maneuver around in. It has wind resistant material on the outside, with a collar that can be high if needed. It has 3 temperature settings as well, and the On/Off switch is easily accessible from the outside of the best. Definitely recommended.

My wife was so happy with her Ororo jacket we decided to try the vest and once again we were not disappointed. The vest is well made with good zippers, excellent stitching and the material seems to be durable and of high quality. The vest has no inside pockets except for the battery pack pocket which is on the left as being worn just above the waist line. There are two outside pockets for hands and the vest has nice maroon piping on the main front zipper. The collar is what I would call medium height and has a zipper cover so when fully zipped up the zipper will not come in contact with your skin. The material is water and wind resistant and OEM states that the vest has more filling than previous years. The heating elements are high in the back and on both sides of the front zipper, right around the waist line next to the pockets. 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. My wife really, really, really likes the high setting, but it does drain the battery quickly. 3 hrs. is a generous time frame. The jacket does come with three different charging adaptors for world wide charging. The vest works when the Ororo button on the left chest is pushed and held for 3 seconds. The vest will then go into a 5 min. heat up mode with the Ororo symbol blinking red. After heat op mode is complete, the vest reduces the heat to medium and the symbol will turn white. The user can turn the vest 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 vest 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 vest is washable but only if the battery is removed and the vest is placed into a mesh bag. The vest cannot be just thrown into the washer with the expectation that it will work properly afterwards. As proof, my special child wore the vest to a Pat’s game and security confiscated the battery pack. Who knew you could not enter Fox-borough with a 5200 mAh Lithium ion battery? It was either give up the battery or listen to the game from the parking lot. Of course, she chose the game leaving dad to by mom a new battery pack at $65.00. Sizing is an issue, this is a common complaint across the board with the woman’s vest or jackets. According to my wife, the “cut” seems to be more geared towards a petite or slim build and not very realistic in her opinion if the intended wearer is more curvaceous, bosomy or she intends to wear bulky clothing underneath. For the large, if your normal size is 10-12 your pushing it and should go up to the extra-large. The large is perfect for the 8 to 10 size range allowing for some layering or bulky sweaters. Any size smaller should go to the medium. This is a great vest, well made, high quality, functions perfectly, just remember to size up, recommended.

The Ororo Women's heated vest is well made from quality materials - problem is the sizing runs small. I ordered a size large and it fits me like a small. I normally wear Women's size 12 and a medium to large depending on the cut so I was surprised in the scant fit of this vest. According to the sizing chart the garment should measure 43.3in inches across chest. When laid flat the vest measures 19.4in at the bottom of the arm pits which is mid chest. Although this vest appears to be a quality heated garment and fashion forward, I'll have to size up one or more sizes to appreciate it's heating benefits. The vest arrives tucked neatly into a nylon stow case perfect for the ski or camping bag. A battery and charger are included. The vest offers a zipped pouch on the inside of the vest lower back that places the battery in a comfortable position. Ladies size up and you'll be happy.
