I'm an elementary school teacher and, this year, my assigned morning duty is outside helping with car line. We live in SC, where the winters are mild but occasionally, we'll dip down to freezing temperatures. I decided to get this vest and have used it every day at work since. The item title very clearly states that the battery pack is not included. Despite my profession, I didn't read it well enough and was disappointed initially. That's on me. Fortunately, our family went to Disney World recently and I bought a very high-quality, large capacity backup battery for my phone. It works nicely in this vest. I love the little pocket on the inside to secure my battery. The neck feels far hotter to me, but likely because it's direct contact with my skin depending on my wardrobe. I do feel the heat everywhere else, too, but for the neck I turn the heat down and keep it on 'high' everywhere else. The controls can remain illuminated or you can turn the lights off. There are three heat settings, each one with a different color. To turn off an entire section, just hold that button down. I'm sure the instructions covered this, but again, I disregarded all of that despite being a teacher who tells kids to read thoroughly. Well worth the $$$. For my 45 minute usage in the mornings (and sometimes I keep it on until I've warmed up in my classroom), I charge my battery every other day and it works well. Wonderful purchase!

I have gotten several others to purchase this jacket or one similar here on Amazon. Its the perfect thing for someone on dialysis.

I have a daughter that is cold all the time and absolutely loves wearing this. I also bought one for myself, and love it. I do recommend buying an extra battery to use while the other one is charging. I've washed my vest several times and it still works great!

Warning: does not come with power bank. Didn’t find that out until AFTER I got the package. Had I known I would have ordered one that had a power bank. So I never got to use it for the intended purpose because I didn’t have a power bank. No where in this add did it state there was no power bank. You get a nice “oops, we don’t include it” note in the box. You can purchase one separately. Here’s a 20% off coupon. I would have chosen a different vest had I known it didn’t come with a power bank. Once I finally got around to buying a power bank and tried it with the vest. The vest heats up nicely and is warm. Would have been great for the game, had it had a power bank with it and I could have used it. 3 stars. Product works great. Fit is spot on. Deep pockets are nice. Ad is misleading.

02/28/2026 - I bought this a few months ago. I’m actually wearing it now! It heats up quickly. I shoveled snow off my car pretty quickly last week and was only wearing a sweatshirt and the vest (while heated) and I didn’t feel cold except I needed to get some gloves. I bought this as a gift for my mother 2 Christmases ago and got so jealous I bought one for myself. Haha. My mother is a tiny woman, 5’ and 89lbs and I bought her the size SMALL and she wears it a little oversized. If an extra small size existed, it would be more fitting on her. She likes wearing the small because she can wear bigger sweaters and sweatshirts under it and it will cover more of her hips. I am 5’2” and 125lbs (and fit. Normally wear size small clothes or 4 dresses, occasionally petite) and the size SMALL fit me well, slightly snug but not tight, and the hem hit at the high hip. I really liked how flattering it was but I decided to purchase the size MEDIUM so that I could wear it the way my Mom wears it. The hem hits at my low hip and isn’t tight. I’ve been using my Arzopa battery with it and it fits inside the pocket well.

My elderly mother loves this vest. Instead of wearing many bulky layers, she now wears one layer plus the vest. There are 3 zones and 3 heat levels. The BEST feature is that you can heat each of the 3 zones with a DIFFERENT heat level. We discovered that this feature is very important for comfort. When we heated all 3 zones to the same heat level, we realized we didn’t want the neck area to be as hot as the chest and abdomen areas. Other people may want the neck area to be the hottest area or you can make the lower portion of the vest the hottest area. It is up to you. The ad says the heat lasts for 6 to 10 hours on a 10,000 mAh battery (which must mean the lowest heat level) but we didn’t get 6-10 hours on the lowest heat level. Maybe it has a tiny heat after 3 hours but that heat was too low to count from our point of view. The medium heat setting lasted about 2 to 3 hours on a new fully charged 10,000 mAh battery. I think all heated vests and jackets would heat for about the same duration as the duration depends mostly on the size of the battery and the level of heat. We simply bought a second battery so when the first battery runs out, we swap batteries. The lighted controller on the chest is great and easy to use. The controller has a button for each zone. When you push a zone’s button, the button changes its color (a light inside the button) so you instantly know what heat level is set for each zone. A red button means hottest level, green means medium heat, and blue means coolest level. My elderly mom can easily use the controller. The fabric is soft. Again, my mom loves the vest and wears it every day. Her friends love her vest and want it too.

I ordered a Large for a looser fit because that’s what I prefer. I tried on my mom’s Small and it was a snug fit and the heat experience was COMPLETELY different. With a loose fit I can’t feel the heat at all. With a snug fit I can absolutely feel the heat. The wires need to be against the body to feel the heat. When this is the case, the heat output is impressive. Having heat at the back of the neck is a great feature. The vest is super lightweight and comfortable with some puff but no bulk. Without the battery I forget I’m wearing it. Even without the heat, the vest adds some warmth and is nice for fall and winter days. The material is really easy to wipe clean with a washcloth and the zippers work very smoothly. I appreciate that the operation light can be turned off while keeping the heat pumping because the light is really bright. This has been great for night hikes but while at home the light is annoying to me. A few frustrations: there are two pockets at the hips and the battery sits in one of them. I’d much prefer the battery has its own pocket inside. It’s a little awkward to have my hand or stuff in the pocket with the battery in there too. The battery is a bit bulky but you get used to the extra weight. The battery is SUPER SLOW CHARGING. It takes a solid 7+ hours for it to fully charge so it’s helpful to have multiple batteries so you can still get heat while waiting for the other battery to charge. On high the battery lasts a few hours and on low can last a good chunk of the day. A battery should come with the vest, just increase the cost. Just my opinion obviously but I was ordering the vest specifically for the heat option and so it’s be fantastic to have a compatible battery included. Overall, with a snug fit (critical detail), the heat is impressive and the quality and performance is good. With the frustrations mentioned above, I’d still recommend!

This is the best thing I've ever owned. Best purchase ever. Battery is long lasting when you remember to buy it with the vest but the vest just keeps you toasty all night long when it's cold

This will keep me warm this winter. Love how this product heats up and can easily be controlled. Size small was a much better fit than the medium as you want it to be snug and over one layer...can be a relatively thin layer. However, be sure to note that this one does not come with the battery pack. I had one from a previous order.
