My husband love this!
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my husband a few years ago. He’s an avid hunter and he uses this to duck hunt in. He wears it under his waders and only has to turn it on low for a few minutes and then turns it off and because it is so well insulated that it keeps him nice and toasty. He gets too warm if he leaves it turned on for too long. The battery life is great and will last him all day. He keeps a portable battery charger in his pocket in case of emergencies but has never had to use it. It is a good quality and well worth the price. It’s thick enough to keep you warm without being bulky and is very easy to use. My son even liked it so much that I had to get him one as well.

Great gift!
This was such a great gift that I got for my dad. He uses it when hunting and when traveling to cold places! He also used it during cold soccer games and football games as well as during Mardi Gras when it was freezing! The material is a breathable but warm material. It fit him perfectly and is true to size. It kept him warm, the battery life was great and lasted as described. He also got many compliments on it because of its style and it fit him great! The battery is not bulky and rarely noticed when the vest is on. It warms up nicely and has kept him very cozy! This is a great gift!

Very nice vest, warm and slim fashionable
I ordered 2 models of heated vests after research and I have decided to keep this one for now. These vests seem to be all chinese made so it was tough to be confident in which brand is good. Ororo had very high user reviews which helped me pick it. It has a couple of reviews on youtube also. Finally, it was one of the few who’s battery is U/L tested and we need that safety considering the issues with chinese batteries lately.First, I am 5’11, 170lbs, 40in chest (athletic). I got MEDIUM. It is a slim fit. I like slim fit so this is ok for me. However it is at the limit of the fit especially in chest. Considering my purpose which is for hunting and worn above base layer and under insulating layer, this is ok. if you want this as outer layer, or more loose, go with the Large.Packaging arrived and it is very professional. well designed and nicely packaged. it has a sense of more premium brand. That was excellent.Vest is really a puffer vest. It is well designed, fashionable, simple with few accents and can easily stand on its own as a vest, with or without heat. The material is decent but not premium. There were a few threads sticking out from stitching but not detrimental to vest integrity. Will see how that holds up after the season trial. inside material is soft. pocket liner is soft. the collar zipped up is form fitting to neck and doesn’t rub on jaw line which is good and that’s what helps the neck heat.Battery is about palm sized and rounded edges, has a rubberized texture and very modern. With all these vests I wish you could interchange with any USB battery but they make them proprietary probably to make more money. The charger is included and everything worked and looked good. Battery has indicator lights to see it charging and power level.As stated, wearing the vest is a slim fit process. Zipper worked fine but i would have appreciated more a YKK zipper. it is a nice warm puffer vest. I turned the power on and it blinks for a while as it warms up into the red zone (HIGH) and then goes to White (MEDIUM). Right away I started to feel the heat in the neck line collar and the back. the hand pocket area took the longest and is probably the weakest zone. As I was indoors with a double thin layer underneath it, this was a lot of heat at HIGH. At Medium it was Warm heat for indoors and at Low it was good heat fro indoors. I went outside in 37F temp and put an insulating layer over it and you can definitely feel the warmth build up at MEDIUM and HIGH. My purpose is Hunting in freezing winter temps so this was a good test. I would wear this over a thin base layer with 2 insulating layers on top. Note this is a slim fit so if you want to wear it as outer layer or have layers underneath, go a size larger than stated. You also may not feel the heat as much. I recommend this vest directly above a base layer for best results. I read some reviews of people complaining of no neck heat or whatever. My model worked perfectly fine and as described on first day. I will be testing this over the next couple of weeks in various elements and will update my review if things change.UPDATE: 11/15/19: after wearing this vest as a Mid layer under a heavy coat for 6 days in a row, I am noticing some fibers now popping out from the material mostly in the chest front area. Thatâs a poor quality of external material not able to keep fibers controlled. At this rate I would not expect a long durable life especially with washing. I have not washed it yet.UPDATE 10-1-22: I have had this vest now for almost 3 full years. It has held up really well with multiple washes. Yes the outside material has frayed a little as expected with as much use but it is still good and easily wearable externally and looking good. I wear this vest mostly hunting season in freezing and sub-freezing temps. It has performed really well with much needed heat at the best possible time. I would say on full High, the battery is lasting about an hour. Since it goes to Medium on its own after a bit, I keep switching it to high to keep it hot. I wear it above a base layer and have 2 layers on top of it in temps in the teens to 20s and I can last sitting still for about 4-5 hours because as I get cold I turn it on and get heat. The neck line is most welcome. The battery takes a while to charge but has held up well. Overall this has turned out to be a great heated vest and very worth the investment. Will be taking out again this October/November season.

Keeps your core warm
Great for watching outdoor sports and sitting in the deer stand.

My hubby loves!
He works outside and this vest is perfect for working in cold weather. Havenât tested it for waterproofness but it does have a couple pockets, surprisingly thin for a heated vest. Looks like a normal black vest. Battery lasts a while

Very comfortable and warm at high setting. Fit is comfortable
I am posting the image of the temperature settings. Low is at 100 degrees F – just about at normal body temp. Medium at 113 degrees F – one can barely feel the heat. High is very nice and cozy at 131 degrees F. I wanted to see how long the high setting would last. Admittedly I did not go into the cold to test it but we keep our house at 68 degrees F. A fully charged battery lasted me six hours on high.The fit was perfect as I have a 36 inch waste and usually wear a large shirt. My chest is 42 inches. It worked better when I took off my sweater that was initially worn underneath the vest then put the vest back on. Then I put a windbreaker on top of the vest to keep from soiling it and to keep the tags from getting caught in something. They warn you to leave the tag on else it would not be accepted should you return it. I especially liked the warmth around my neck but also appreciated the heat on my shoulder blades. The front pockets were not nearly as warm but they were warm. After awhile the heat is retained and I could have cycled down to the medium setting but I wanted to see how long the high setting would last.It took me less than eight hours to get the full charge indicator lights. I did buy an extra battery to have so when the battery needs recharging (about six hours to recharge) I could then swap out every six hours or so without having to wait in the cold for recharge to complete. The battery did not seem to be too heavy and the weight was not a problem as I didn’t notice any drag or discomfort. Overall it was a very comfortable vest and I look forward to using it in my unheated garage or on walks. No complaints! I hope it lasts as I plan to take good care of it.

Great!!
Fits to size. Works perfect. Great quality. Love it

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!

love the fit and zipper is good, battery life is good. Saved our butt when our cell phones died in a power outage, recharged our phone to make a call. Very comfortable but after 12 or so uses the neck and back elements stopped working. The pocket elements heat up so still warms up the body.Overall nice product but may try another brand.

This is lightweight and holds the heat beautifully. I love to be outdoors but get cold and this one makes it a pleasure to be outside.It’s great under a lighter jacket, but under the winter jacket is unbearably hot and bulky. I let the battery recharge overnight, so I don’t know how quickly to recharges, but it’s great for a daily walk for about a week. Or a cold photography evening/night in winter. Between heated gloves and this, I am really very happy.

I’ve easily spent over $3000 on heated jackets due to a health episode I was facing. All products have one of the following broad issues; 1) they use cheap (and sometimes toxic) material and heating methods creating harmful issues, 2) cheap material causing a lot of sweat, 3) not easily washable , 4) terrible style, or 5) doesn’t get hot enough.Having said that I love my ORORO jacket! It looks great, it feel amazing, it is stylish and well-made. But the most important part is the heating part: so the heating method is perfect, it doesn’t use harmful materials, it is adjustable, the battery life is long, and it is machine washable.The only part you must be aware of is to ensure that you get an original jacket. Just be aware.
