ORORO Women's Lightweight Heated Vest with Battery Pack (Charger Not Included)

Bought for my mom so she had a back up plan of it was super cold I colorado. Her first time visiting during the winter. It worked with no issues and came in handy. Don't know how well it would perform if used often.

My father in law purchased this brand of heated vest and loved it, so I took the plunge and purchased this for my wife. She loves it and wears it anytime it is cold. The battery life is good. She doesn't work outside all day, but when she does she will spend an hour or two outside wearing it. The battery withstands that amount of time outside on medium heat. The last time she used it for short jobs outside, she was able to go several days before recharging.She likes the fact that this is not a bulky vest. Often she layers this under a jacket or coat so that she can keep the heat setting lower and conserve battery life as long as possible. She wore it all winter and it still works well. It is put away for the spring and summer, so I will check to see how well it works when it is unboxed this coming winter.

So okay I would love to actually give a review but I just received this a couple of days ago. It looks great and fits good. The battery does work and heats the vest. I’m sure it will be perfect for my winter golf.

This vest is exactly as I expected. it fits true to size. The battery pack was missing from the first shipment, but they quickly sent another vest and battery pack. The battery pack is a bit heavy but doesn't bother me. I bought it for cool days in Minnesota this summer. I would recommend this product.

I was excited to get this, but there was an issue and I needed to return it (runs a little large - since I only want a thinner layer underneath). The replacement vest is just the right size. It's fitted so it doesn't hang like many coats and vests, making you even bulkier. The length is good too - a little longer so that it just about has you covered down to the bench.It's nice just as a vest, without the heating with the right amount of insulation. The power pack is easy to charge, slips into a pocket and plugs in. The control was easy and suddenly I was set for an evening game outside. I appreciated the 3 levels of heat - you press the button at the logo (it glows a different color for each level).Customer service was amazing - responsive and constantly in touch - getting my return set up, and my exchange sent and checking in that I received everything OK (thanks Mike and team!) They were fast to answer my questions. This makes a great gift for someone that's outdoors for a sporting event (hello to parents in the stands!) or doing an activity outside.

Bought this for our daughter, she loves it! Keeps her warm on coldest days

I’ve had this vest for about a month now and overall I like it. The heat is nice and consistent. The battery lasts a long time although to be fair, I mostly wear it around the house so I haven’t tried it in really cold weather.I do have a couple of complaints but nothing that keeps me from using it.First, the stitching has started coming loose on one bottom corner near the zipper. Nothing major but at this price, this shouldn’t be happening.Second, the battery pouch is about midway between the side and the back. This might not be an issue for most people but I’m 5’0 and 110 pounds and I have to carry my phone charger brick in the opposite pocket for the weight to balance out. Otherwise the weight of the battery causes the vest to hang lower on the left side. I read many reviews and a lot of people complained in reviews of other vests that had the battery in the middle of the back too so I have no suggestions for that.If it matters, I got a medium. It’s not snug on me which is good because I have space to wear a hoodie under it but I could also wear it under a larger coat.TLDR: it’s a good quality product overall.

I bought this for baseball games and so glad I did! It has been a life saver. Battery life is great. Heating elements are great as well and don’t get too hot! Just the right amount. So many of my friends wanted one when they tried it on!

I'm always the first person to feel the cold so I did a lot of research and this heated vest is the best ever. It's my third winter with this vest and I still love it! It heats up fast and stays warm. All heat is great, but the back of the neck is my favourite - way better than any scarf, it's like being warmed from the inside out. I can still wear a scarf as well to cover my face if the wind or snow is really biting. And I love how it keeps my belly AND my hands warm. Although I feel less heat in my hands in the pockets than in my belly and back and neck areas. That doesn't really matter though if it's raining or really cold because I have to wear an extra jacket over the vest anyway so I stay dry and my arms stay warm. I've worn it walking, cycling, driving on cold mornings, at outdoor evening events, in a long slow line outside a store for a boxing day sale, and working outdoors all day at a nursery. I've had to lend it to co-workers and friends when they got miserably cold. At my recommendation two people at work and one friend got this vest and they all love theirs too. I wore it standing in the bitter wind during a two and a half hour winter bird watching tour at the ocean when most people were freezing and I was fine. Seriously this vest is a game changer. It's also great when my power goes out at home and there's no heat. Once I've warmed up, I usually only need it on low or I turn it off so I don't get too hot. I turn it on at least a few hours every day and only need to charge it two times a week, three times if I've been wearing it for four or more hours a day. Washing it is no problem. I take out the battery pack and wash it in a mesh bag as directed. I don't notice the weight of the battery, it's like having a cell phone in my pocket. I only realize there's extra weight because I have to hang it up carefully so it doesn't slide off the left side of the hanger. I sometimes feel a bit of bulkiness of the battery behind the left pocket when I put on my seatbelt or zip up a shell jacket, but it's nothing to complain about.

I LOVE this vest! It actually gets too hot for me! I have not used it past the lowest setting. The battery gets me two days charge, but I don't work outside. I am 120 lbs, 5 foot 5 with a 36 B chest and I got the Medium. It fits a bit loose, but I like that because I cannot feel the battery pack. If it fit any snugger I would feel it. I also feel if it fit any snugger it would be too hot. I am glad I went with the vest as opposed to sleeves as it does make you quite warm and my armpits would sweat too much if there were sleeves. Also, with the vest I am able to wear it in Spring and Fall as well. I shovelled snow in -13 degree under a coat. I ended up taking the coat off and just wearing the vest and was comfortable. I also don't need to pre-heat my car in the mornings because the vest keeps me warm enough and sometimes I don't even need to turn on the heat in my car when I am wearing it. I love the heated neck and sometimes I put it on when I have a headache and the heated collar fixes the headache. The battery does take hours to charge though, so keep that in mind. The battery is lightweight though. I get loads of compliments on the vest, so it looks good as well. The heated pockets are also a nice touch. I thought the price was a bit expensive, but now that I have used it so much and its machine washable.... definitely well worth the price.

This thing has changed my professional life. I often work in very cold environments, and this vest makes the difference between being miserable and being perfectly comfortable. Very handy when working indoors in underheated spaces, because it doesn't get in the way like a coat might. Outside, under a coat, I often don't even need to turn it on. But when I do, it's like getting a warm hug. I was worried the hot collar would bother me, but I almost always have something on underneath that protects my neck, so it's actually quite nice. The battery is small, but right against my hip bone, so maybe size up to keep that from being uncomfortable. I am 5'8", 140lb, not curvy, and the size M is perfect for me, both under and over other clothes. It even looks good! Many of my colleagues have ordered their own Ororo vests since seeing me wear mine. The battery does take a long time to charge, so you might want to order a second battery if you're going to have it on high for more than a few hours. My only (tiny) complaint is that the light is in a place that I find hard to see, so checking what setting I'm on can be annoying.

I bought 6 vests of this caliber for my ailing mom who is cold all of the time. Granted this is not what these were designed to be used for, I thought they may help. I’m copying and pasting the same review for each vest as the performance all seemed similar. For the cost I expected much more noticeable heat, the only noticeable spot (which was amazing) was the neck, I wish the other panels reached that level of temp as I would have kept a couple for her so she could rotate them throughout the day as the others recharge. Unfortunately we returned them all. But she is very small right now, 90lbs and under 5’, the small fit fine, a little long obviously being under 5’. All vests were made very well, packaged very nicely, designed well as she loved the fashion style, but they just did not warm up to where either of us were really sure they were on. Batteries were charged.

I bought it for my girlfriend, she enjoys it but the heating pad at the back of the neck is relatively too hot because it directly contacts her skin. If she wears a turtle neck or a scarf underneath, it would balance out the conduction like the rest of the torso heating pads. Subsequently, she needs to turn down the heat which the other heat pads also cool off leaving her not warm enough. The neck pad is a good approach in terms of design; just need some additional engineering to perfect it. Overall she's happy about it.
