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

I’m a review fanatic when purchasing anything online or otherwise. This vest had over 9,000 reviews and almost All were positive. Purchased it and all I can say is that it is Awesome!!! Great quality. Great looking vest. It is true to size. I wear x-large shirts so I ordered x-large vest.It fits perfectly with just a thermal top underneath, perfect for golfing, no restrictions swinging clubs. It is very warm on high, I set it on medium heat and it lasts me for 18 holes with some power leftover. I highly recommended this vest. I’ve got 5 rounds of golf with it so far. Would definitely buy it again.

Quality is good the vest is lightweight. Even the battery seems light. Although it does come with a great mania things you should not do list is rather lengthy and repeated numerous times. The stitching and material seems to be a good quality. I was fortunate enough to catch mine 25% off. definitely improves the idea of quality for your money. I definitely the smoother material. It does not attract lint like the software models. Do the fact that they show that it will repel rain is nice, but I think it would do better for a sudden spill of water or something glad I chose the model I did. I also know a few friends that have bought these and very happy with them. Under some circumstances they think they’re warm enough you don’t even have to turn the heat on to stay warm. Some also say that wearing it under a jacket of some sort makes it work better , probably because it traps the heat and keeps it from escaping. Maybe wearing a wind or water resistant light jacket over it would make an excellent combination between now and summer weather.

My husband loves this and has this vest on everyday while it is super cold out and he is working on an open building. Said it really helps to keep your core temp up. Battery life is great as well. It fits tight so it works well under a heavier coat.

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. That’s 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.

This vest is alright. you can put it under a lighter jacket, keeping you nice and warm. The only downside to this vest is due to the battery size and the weight of it. The battery on the right side is heavy, so you feel it. But overall, it is a nice and comfortable jacket.

I now have two of these vest. They are lightweight, very warm (rarely have to use the power) and great for long days outside. I use one for hunting and the other for every.

Heating elements around the neck, back and pockets.....really designed well.

Bought it for my college student. He says it works great to keep him warm between buildings and in his classrooms that are cold. My husband bought one and he wears it all day everyday at work. Great investment. Battery life can last 8+ hours on low.

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.

Works really well and is great under a leather jacket for those colder days. I haven’t had extreme weather but this works really well on cooler days. Also wore it to watch a football game and it really makes a difference... much more comfortable! Haven’t used it long enough for a full battery so not sure of duration, but it has been fine for 5 hrs or so with more in the battery.

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 am so in love with this vest!! I work night shift and the temperatures often drop below 0.I can still wear my work jacket over the top (hi-vis) and its not bulky at all.Best purchase ever!

The vests are excellent very warm. Heating pads keep your neck warm your lower back and hands in pockets are warm too. Everyone wants one . Bigger Ah battery would be perfect.
