Heated Vest

I agree with Lawrence Lynn. I wore this vest outside, under a winter coat, and could barely feel any heat. These vests are heated by electrical resistance. This always uses a lot of power (think electric stove) and the two, tiny 3.7 V batteries that come with the vest are just not enough. The vendor is letting me return the vest (which I will).

Gave to my mom for Christmas when she worked in a very cold facility. She was very happy with this!

They recommend one size larger but in reality you need one size smaller If you're a man Because this is not unisex is strictly female And the batteries are not 7.4 the 3.2 so it's a cheap version Which explains the lack of heat

Bought the small for my wife. She's 5'3" and slim. The vest was too big for her. There should be a "petite".

With the high price of heating oil this winter I have been trying to keep my thermostat at 60 degrees. I found dressing in layers and/or wearing a fleece sweatshirt too bulky.I Googled for heated vests just as a lark. I knew they made heated gloves and socks for skiing but had never heard of vests. In all honesty, I had been thinking they would make a great invention and I'd soon be rich ... oh well! : (Instead I came across this vest. I received it just the other day and this is my first wearing. I love it! It is thin and lightweight and though the temp in the house is 60, I am nice and warm! (Thus alot less tempted to boost the thermostat.)I can't comment on other reviewers statements that it didn't work outside, because frankly that use was never my intent. For inside use it is terrific!An adjustable thermostat would be nice, but for inside at least, I find the temp to be great ... maybe even a bit on the 'too warm' side!

Some what dissipoint in product.

It was -40 and this vest kept my guys warm all day out on the rig! Great investment! Must buy

This vest heats in the back but not in the front....not hot enough fo any serious weather. i am returning immediately to amazon.
