ORORO Men's Lightweight Heated Vest with USB-C Rechargeable Battery, Puffer Classic Heating Vest

I bought two of these for Christmas gifts. Great fit and quality. This puffer was thin making it much more wearable than most. It's the perfect item if you want to be cozy warm in a stylish and functional vest.

Vest is so well-made, came with its own Battery-Pak. My husband wore it to our Grandson’s tennis match in the late afternoon it was chilly in February. The vest kept him cozy and warm. He specially liked that it zips right underneath his chin and even more likes the heating element in the neck of the vest. All round good buy and good product. Shipped as promised!

I bought this vest on the recommendation of my daughter, who has a medical condition which leaves her perpetually chilled. She mentioned the quality of construction and the way that it regulated the heat as its main virtues. It also happens to be fairly affordable. I bought mine when I learned that I was going to a Chicago Bears game on a day when temperatures were predicted to be 4F and -11F with the wind chill at the start of the tailgate and rising to 11F during the game, where we were going to be seated in shade. Following instructions from an AI assistant, I placed the vest as my 2nd layer, over a thin, high quality wool-blend base layer. Several more layers were added on top of that. I also brought along an insulated, hooded stadium cape, but after weathering the tailgate without it, I left that cape in the truck. During the entire day, the only part of my torso that ever felt even the slightest bit cold was where my lower back hit the cold stadium seat back, and that was when the vest was set to medium, which is where it had been set up until that point. I brought along a heated balaclava, but didn't use that because it only heats the back of my neck and the Ororo vest already heats that area. I had borrowed my daughter's battery pack from her vest since I was going to be outside from about 9am to 4pm. By 1:30, my original battery was down to 25% or less, so I swapped them. The one feature I didn't particularly like was that the pocket for the battery is difficult to access, especially when layered up. But being inside the vest keeps it warm and preserves the battery capacity. I kind of wish they had a little more space in that pocket or a second pocket on the other side to store a backup battery. Keeping the batteries warm prevents the capacity loss that lithium batteries suffer when cold. I see that with my EV in the winter when its summertime range of 250 miles drops to 150 miles when the weather is this cold. One small criticism is the slow charging for the included battery pack. While you can plug it into a wide range of chargers, the charging is limited to low amperage, so figure on 4 hours to charge. On the upside, there doesn't seem to be a danger of damaging the battery by plugging it into a higher amperage charger, which isn't always the case.

Works great, warm, good fit!

Perfect to wear under an oversized jacket to keep warm while working or playing outside. Battery life isn't the greatest but can be upgraded. Best is decent quality and has many pockets with one easily setup for battery storage.

Vest seems well made with even stitching and smooth zippers. Controls are simple. Warms up well and the three heat settings are sufficient. A medium was ordered and fit as expected. Fits loose over shirt/tee shirt and is comfortable with an outer layer over top.

Awsome 😀

My husband wanted one of these vests for Xmas because he was jealous of mine. Our son plays hockey and the rinks are so cold that these vests are amazing to keep you warm. My husband's favorite part is that it has heat in the neck part. I have an older vest and a newer one. My older fleece one does not have heated in the neck and is not quite as warm because of it. The only thing he doesnt like is that the battery takes a very long time to charge. Many hours. Probably 4-5 if I had to guess. Its best to develop a routine that when you get home that you immediately plug it in so you don't forget. It's the worst when you remember an hour or two before leaving the house and your battery isnt charged! And having a 2nd battery is good too. I have 2 vests and I will bring the extra battery in my purse in case the first battery dies. How long battery lasts depends on which swtting you use it on. I can usually get around 3 hours on high. It will last longer on low and medium. Ororo is a very dependable brand from my experience. My favorite purchase on Amazon. These are a must for hockey parents or anyone who has to be out in the cold a lot.

If you are living in a winter climate, this vest makes night time dog walks, shovelling and sitting in cold arenas SO much more comfortable! The warming unit in the neck/collar is KEY!! This makes a world of difference to your overall experience. You don't realize how much you tighten your shoulders and neck to brace against the cold until they are warm!! If you have a tight neck/shoulders, make sure you get a product that has a warming unit in the collar. Three heat settings give you some versatility - the high is pretty warm - you won't want more than that. The vest was more attractive looking than expected. You can legit wear this around and it looks like a nice vest. The cut is slim. 6ft, 175lbs, slim build male - ordered a men's medium. FItted - especially through the hips, but this is the fit desired as the intention was to always wear it under another jacket. Would recommend going for a fitted size as you lose some of the benefit of the warmers if you are layering under the vest. But note that it is a very straight fit, so if your hips are wider, it might be tight. HIGHLY recommend this product. Only one complaint - the battery unit that goes in the hip pocket is not small. Given the size of tiny cell phone chargers out there, I was surprised that this power unit had to be this large. - eg., like a wide deck of cards. It also sits right on the curve of your body from side to front - need to wiggle it to lay flat on your front. Does add a little bulk if the next layer you put on top is fitted at all. But you get used to this and work around it - otherwise good value, nice looking and great warmth! Just to note when you are shopping - other products may appear to be significantly cheaper, but you have to buy the power pack on top of that - so you still end up paying a fair amount - just search for a good quality, all included product from the start.

I did a bit of research on heated vests and was planning to get the cheaper brands on the $60 to $80 range but the reviews for those were hit and miss. I looked at eWool heated jackets but they start at $500 and are mainly for outdoor use in extreme winter conditions. My wife's co-worker bought an Ororo heated vest and had mainly positive things to say about it so I figured I would give it a shot since I'm usually cold at work and just cold in general. I have an under-active thyroid and one of the symptoms is cold intolerance. The heating zones are just right to warm up my core and hands in the pockets and the back zone is big enough to cover most of my back. The collar heater is not as hot as the other parts but is just right given that your neck can be very sensitive. I usually have the heat on the blue setting after the 5 minute warm-up period when you first activate the heat. The battery is a bit bulky but I don't really think about it much when I have it zipped up. The trade-off with a lighter battery would be shorter heat time but I think the roughly 8 hours is fine the way it is if I use the heat for most of a workday. I like the fact that it uses the newer USB Type-C connector to charge the battery. Since I've been wearing it at work, people do stare at the power button since it lights up in flashing red when it warms up and in the 3 heat settings of solid red (high heat), white (medium), and blue (low). When you wash the jacket, just follow the instructions and remove the battery and then put it in a mesh laundry bag and use a gentle/delicates wash cycle in cold water. I let mine dry over a period of 3 days in a very warm closet. Update 12-19-2019: For sizing help, I bought a medium and I'm 5'9" and 150lbs and it fits almost perfectly. Almost a year later and I've been using mine a lot now that it's fall/winter. I also use it at the rink while watching my kid skate for an hour at each practice session (twice per week) and I don't need to wear my full winter coat. I do wear a hoodie underneath this vest but mainly to cover my arms. Otherwise, the only thing that gets cold are my toes so now I'm looking at heated shoes!

I originally purchased this vest in a XXL based on consumer reviews. It was too bulky so it would prob let the heat out. The return process was simple! 1st time I ever had to return anything from Amazon. A return label was provided that I just had to print out on my printer. Packed everything back into the box and dropped it off at the post office. Somehow they knew it was in transit and my return was processed before they actually physically received the return. Very impressed with that. I then ordered the XL. It said it was going to be delivered a day after I left town for work. I was a little disappointed with that. Luckily to my surprise it arrived 3 days early! Tried it on and it fits perfectly! I charged the battery fully before trying out the heat and wow does it heat up quick and it gets HOT! The heated collar is amazing! I just wish the heated pocket really heated up the whole pocket. It’s not a deal breaker or anything but would def make this vest absolutely perfect. You will have to have your hand pressed up against your body to get some heat on the palms of your hands. Overall I’m truly happy with this purchase. I will update if there are any problems going forward. If you don’t see anything know this vest is the bomb and go get yourself one! You won’t regret it! For help with sizing I’m 6’4” around 225-230lbs And I got the XL. The pic shows how it fits.

I bought this vest for my wife. She is always cold when she goes curling. She absolutely loves it!!! It heats up quickly and provides tons of heat to her back, neck and front pockets. It’s 3 heat setting give lots of options as to the amount of heat you want. The battery lasts at least 4-5 hours on HIGH. She likes it on high😀. Now her sister has bought one and she loves it too. I also bought one for hunting season and ice fishing. I run mine on low to medium. High temp is more than I need. I think it sizes are accurate. I’m 6’ 200 pounds and I bought a XL. Great for days at the rink to watch your kids play hockey. A great gift for your wife. I don’t give good reviews easily! I am fussy and expect great performance when buying items. I couldn’t be more pleased. I highly recommend this vest and company!

This was a great vest while it lasted. It was reliable and easy to charge. even washable (specific instructions and wash bag)! Im hoping to contact the company to see about fixing it. The vest won’t turn on anymore, the little box which you charge and put in the vest is working but when we plug it into the vest its not heating up.
