PROSmart Heated Vest Polar Fleece Lightweight Heated Gilet with USB Battery, Unisex

This product arrived swiftly, in it's original box. The body warmer is quality, with excellent stitching, thick fleece padding, and functional zips that don't catch or stick.I use this body warmer for cycling in temps below 7°c, and at work in the fridge and freezer. The body warmer alone provides an extremely high level of warmth. When using the heat settings, placing the jacket on the highest temp, you feel the warmth within 2-3 minutes, and need to turn it down after 5, it's that warm! Even using it in the fridge or freezer at work, with suitable layering, there is little need to do any more than a quick boost at the highest temp, and then a reduction to the medium setting will provide you with a comfortable level of warmth.My only minor complaint about the jacket, is that when it is unzipped, the weight of the battery unbalances the jacket on the shoulders slightly. This can be rectified by placing your phone in the opposite side pocket.

I use this item when going to the football. Works very well but using on full power the battery dies just after half time! I take a spare phone charger battery I have and that keeps it going. The heating eliment just runs through the back of the jacket, I did think it would be all around. The battery that comes with this jacket is very good quality. I have in the past used it to charge my phone when out working. In breif on low you will get around 6 hours, medium 5 hours and high 4 hours. Good product and worth the money.

I waded through hours of reviews on loads of different heated jackets and gilets before finally deciding on this one. It was a great choice!I decided a gilet would make sense as it can be worn under a coat in the winter and on its own on those slightly chilly summer evenings in the UK.The good thing about the gilet, or vest as they call it, is that it hugs your body so you feel the warmth of the heated panels within a few seconds of turning it on. I imagine with a slightly baggy coat that you’d be waiting a while to feel the effects of the warming.The battery lasts easily long enough for an evening of outdoor entertainment at the high power setting and I’d imagine at the lower power setting it would last all day, but I’ll have to wait for the winter to see.The battery connection is a standard USB one so if you want to purchase a spare battery you can do with no problem (I understand a lot of heated coats/gilets have a non standard connector, which is crazy). The battery is great as it has 4 lights (leds) that indicate it’s available charge, something that for some reason isn’t mentioned anywhere in the Amazon entry.Regarding size; this was so confusing with a mass of conflicting information.This was my experience. I’m relatively slim and normally take a medium to large in shirts, t-shirts, jackets etc. however, when I followed the advice in the reviews to err towards a bigger size and bought a large, it was too big. I exchanged it for a medium and it fits perfectly. In my opinion if the fit isn’t snug you’ll have to wait for longer to feel the warmth from the heated areas and the styling suits a closer fit anyway.In summary, I love this jacket and it was an absolute life saver earlier in 2021 when you could only eat outdoors at a restaurant and on through the spring/summer when outdoor gatherings were still the norm. It’s great for taking the chill off while walking the dogs on those slightly chilly summer evenings and will be awesome come the winter. I liked it so much I bought my wife one for her birthday.

This was bought for my husband for Christmas so I can't comment too well about it. My husband is totally delighted with it so far. It arrived quickly and fits well (it was a little difficult getting the size right as the advert for it measures from armhole to armhole rather than whole chest size - but according to other reviews, needs to be a snug fit) but it's been worth the effort. Even without the heat on, it's a lovely warm over vest. He manages the heat options really well and has found it benefits him immensely. He is 80 but active - and needs to go to the allotment and walk the dog during cold mornings and evenings and this has totally changed how he feels when out in the cold. He is totally delighted with it so far. Of course I recognise it's early days yet and anything can go wrong with it - but so far, all is well indeed. He hasn't yet needed to use the extra power pack that we bought with it. The power pack was suggested by Amazon as something other's purchased when they bought the Heated Vest so we got that also. I've a feeling it might be needed at some point but so far, and not as yet. Amazing item I'd highly recommend for anyone who feels the cold. The three heat settings work exactly as stated...........it's just doing a good job so far!!

Purchased by my wife on 10/11/20 as a Christmas present. I was dubious that a battery would be able to provide enough heat however my fears were unjustified. It has 3 settings with the heat applied to the small of the back. I used it throughout the winter, working in a semi-sedentary job in an unheated building in the UK. Matched with the appropriate clothing I had no issues, with the battery lasting for hours.Unfortunately on the 24/04/21 I began to have connection issues. I emailed the company, received a reply after a few HOURS and after some clarification of the fault received a replacement in a little under 4 days from my first contact with them! I would happily buy more products from this company, it is just a shame that other companies do not respond so quickly or helpfully.I have noticed in some reviews complaints about turning on for a short time then going off. Be aware it has 3 settings, on initially turning on (hold for 3 secs) it starts iff hot but then automatically goes to a lower setting, simply cycle through the settings with short presses of the power button. Do contact the company Re any problems, they really are excellent.
