My mom loves this
Bought this for my always freezing tiny mother who used to go through the disposable hand warmers by the gross. She LOVES it because is not only keeps her warm, it is stylish, lightweight and not bulky.

My new favorite thing
Battery lasts a long time. It is heavy, but if you usually carry lots of stuff in your pockets it feels like that. Easy to wash if you follow the instructions. I love the stealth feature - truly no one knows your vest is heated!This vest provides all the heat I need for winter farm life. My thyroid doesn't work so I chill easily and once cold, I have trouble getting warm. This winter I had to strip layers! Reducing bulk gave me greater range of movement, which made toting hay easier. The only downside is you can't use it if it's raining, but hey! I'll take that! Well worth the money, would buy again.

Warm
I really love this vest. I got one last year and wore it all the time but the battery pack broke. The jacket stopped working after 5 months. I hope this one lasts longer

Great
This is a very well made vest for a very modest price. I'm 5' tall and 100 pounds and the XS size I purchased fit me very well. The warmth it provides will feel great this winter.

My teen daughter liked it!
Well my daughter who refuses to wear a jacket to school liked something similar to this jacket so I purchased it as a gift for her. She says she likes it. My Gf saw and she like liked the way it looked too. It has a bit of style and is not like all the other heated jackets. The quality of the Jacket seems nice overall. I would recommend it. The heated zones seem nice and they work very quickly from what I can tell.

Awesome Vest
I got this for the girlfriend for Xmas. Here in the Pacific northwest it is cold. This vest has 3 different areas and 3 different settings. It works very well on the coldest days for quick heat where you want it. Then You can put the vest on low and stay warm the rest of the time you are out playing. Keeping your cor body warm helps you relax and have fun. Plan on buying one for myself. 5 out of 5 stars.
L**!
Cold at work!
My work is always freezing! This vest is amazing! We have had sun zero weather the last couple weeks and this has been my saving grace! I work inside by the way! The battery back may last several hours if running the whole time(per se at a football game). At work it lasted 6-7 hours not running full blast all day. Would recommend.

Glitching after 3 washings & 1 week after return period
Glitching after 3 washings & 1 week after return period.Washed according to booklet directions. Disappointing.I purchased an extra battery pack because I was wearing it at work daily (warehouse office job).Material still in good condition, but the on, warm, off buttons are glitching. :-/

Super warm and cozy vest!
These heated vests are great for outdoor activities where you need to stay warm. They work well on their own over a light undershirt and wears well under winter jackets as well.Sizing and Fit:I usually wear a women’s XS or size 2 dress size and this vest in a small size fits slightly large over a light shirt, but I wouldn’t want to sizes down because I prefer a bit of a roomier vest. The vest itself is really comfortable. It did not feel stiff at all and I could’t tell it was a heated vest by just looking at it. The zipper is also very sturdy and smooth; overall great material and quality stitching through and through.The heat and function:The placement of the heating elements is really good. There is an element at the neck, upper chest/clavicle area, upper back, lower back and lower torso area, which I love because it warms up my hands! There aren’t any heating elements at the waist area, but with the rest of vest heating up, I couldn't really tell the waist area isn't heated.There are three temperatures settings based on the light colour you select. Low heat is blue at 45°C; Medium heat is white at 55°C; High heat is red at 65°C. Under a jacket, I prefer the medium heat and then will switch to the low heat for maintenance. If used alone outdoors without a jacket, the high heat feels the most comfortable.The only thing I am worried about is washing this vest repeatedly because technically there are 'electric parts' in the vest. I will be mostly spot cleaning the vest and treating it more like a jacket and doing a thorough wash each season.When would this vest be really useful?This vest is great for long hikes or watching outdoor games, for fall outings such as apple picking, for fishing/ice fishing/hunting or for outdoor workers. Anywhere you need to keep warm, this vest would be super helpful! This heated vest makes a really good Christmas or Winter birthday gift. I highly recommend it!

Warms up nicely and I love the extra quilting design details on both sides
This is probably about the 4th or 5th heated vest I’ve tried, and this is one of the better ones. The vest heats up quickly and nicely (as I’ve found they all do), but what sets this one apart from the rest is that you can control the heat settings of different parts of the vest (unlike others that only give you the option of heating the whole thing at the same time and at the same temperature)…plus, you can choose whether to have the little button on the front light up or not. This is a thoughtful consideration, since I’ve worn similar vests out in the dark and have distracted my friends with it while speaking to them as that’s what they saw in the dark! (lol)The quality of this vest also sets it apart from the others in terms of style and the attention to the small design details, such as the the visual design details of the front side pockets (e.g., the decorative button, angled cut, + smaller diamond quilting details), as well as the quilting design elements on the back of the vest (e.g., smaller quilting pattern at the shoulders versus the larger quilting pattern on the bottom; the little horizontal strips to visually break up the quilting patterns). If you look at my photos, you’ll see what I’m referring to. Other similar vests don’t always pay attention to the little design elements like these ones on this vest.The vest has the two zippered pockets in the front (which are big enough for me to stick my hands into), as well as a zippered inner pocket on the left side (which has the connector for the power bank and that you stick the power bank into)…and also a second interior zippered pocket on the other side. As with all other heated vests, the power bank is quite heavy and you certainly feel it and the weight inside the vest…but you get used to it and it’s fine.The zipper pulls on this vest are of good quality and they zip and unzip smoothly. You might not be able to tell very well from my photos, but the inside neck collar is also made of a softer, almost fuzzy fabric that sits comfortably against your skin.The vest also comes with a zippered carrying case, as well as a laundry bag.This is a really nice vest. My only criticism is that I wish it was just a tad longer in the back to cover my bum a more flattering way. Other than that, though, I really like this vest and look forward to using it to keep warm on chilly days.I ordered this in a Medium, though according to the sizing chart, I’m between a Small and a Medium. I’m happy with the Medium, though. I think it fits well while still giving me room for thicker tops underneath.

Embracing Winter Warmth
I have been wearing this GOTOBI Women's Heated Vest everyday for one month, and here's my practical take on this heated apparel:Pros: Digital Battery Display for Precision Power Monitoring 📊⚡:The new digital battery display is a game-changer. It provides real-time feedback on the battery percentage, allowing me to gauge how much heating time I have left accurately. It's a practical addition for planning and ensuring the vest doesn't run out of power unexpectedly. Targeted Heating Area for Cozy Comfort 🌬️🧥: The standout feature of the GOTOBI Heated Vest is the thoughtful heating area coverage. It extends to the shoulders and upper back, providing a comforting warmth that feels like a gentle hug. It's not just about the core – this vest keeps the chill away from key areas prone to discomfort. Ergonomic Heating System for Even Warmth 🔄: The ergonomic heating system ensures an even distribution of warmth. I appreciated that there were no uneven hotspots, and the heat was consistent across the entire heating area. It made a significant difference in keeping me comfortably warm without any discomfort. Adjustable Temperature Settings for Personalized Warmth 🌡️👌: With three temperature settings, ranging up to 149℉, this heated vest allows for personalized warmth. Whether I needed a subtle heat boost or maximum coziness on an exceptionally cold day, the adjustable settings catered to my preferences. The control was easy to use, even with the vest on.Cons: Limited Style Options 🎨: The available style options are somewhat limited. While the functionality is the primary focus, having more variety in colors or design choices would be a nice touch for those who want both style and warmth in their winter wardrobe.The GOTOBI Women's Heated Vest is a reliable companion for staying warm in chilly weather. Embrace winter without the chill! ❄️🌬️

Decent heated vest, 3+1 buttons/3 levels/9 zones, seems well made, fairly warm, 16Ah, longevity TBD
This is a fairly decent (and slightly better than most) heated vest that appears to be well made without any visible defects (i.e. loose/skipped threads and/or typical sewing 'mistakes' etc). It's made of 100% nylon (main fabric) and 100% polyester (lining and fill) for those who care. The fit is reasonably good and it's for the most part true to size based on the sizing chart provided; however, it really depends on what you have underneath this and/or if you prefer a comfort fit but I'll probably go up a size especially if you'll wear this on top of something else.Like most others with similar design and style, it has multiple heating 'zones' and for this particular one has 9 heating zones and they are controlled via 3 buttons at the top/left (of the wearer) of the vest. There are 9 zones in total which are above average in comparison to most others (most have 4-8). The 'front' button (right-most of the wearer) controls the 4 zones (left/right) around the chest and the abs at the front and the 'back' button controls the 4 zones at the back (2 up/mid and 2 lower back). The top-most button controls the 'neck' (back) zone.There is a 4th button below all 3 buttons which turn on/off the light of the buttons should you find the lights annoying. Like nearly all others, press/hold a button for 3 seconds will turn the heating on/off and a single press will cycle through all the temp levels (and again there are 3 heating levels for this particular vest).It comes with a somewhat high capacity 16000 mAh (16 Ah/59.2 Wh) rechargeable battery with a single USB-C as input (9V/2A) or output (12V/1.5A) and a USB-A (12V/1.5A) and DC/barrel connector (7.4V/3A) as output. Btw, the vest uses the DC connector. This is a typical (albeit slightly higher than average) capacity for these vests which is a decent compromise between convenience and performance (i.e. you don't wanna carry a brick in your vest, do you?).There is a hidden/internal pocket for holding the battery at the lower/left side of the vest. Similar to all others, you can certainly use any battery that can provide 7.4V/3A (or at least with similar spec as the battery that comes with this vest) via DC connector; however, you will wanna make sure it's properly rated for best/optima performance.✘ DO NOT forget to remove the battery before washing/cleaning it.So how does this perform? Well, it's quite similar to many others with 7.4V battery pack but it's noticeably better than those heated vest powered by ordinary 5V batteries in terms of heat up time. It's not a heater-in-a-vest and it doesn't provide that MUCH warmth/heat but it's certainly and significantly better than just vest alone especially on a cold(er) day. If you expect this to be a burning hot vest or something of the sort, well, this is not it and I dunno if that's even a good idea given the circumstance. In any event, this does provide some level of comfort and warmth; however, Canadian winter is quite unpredictable and as long as you know what to expect with this sort of heat vest (not just this alone), I suspect it should be more than sufficient in many cases.✔ Note that this particular vest has a power bank rated for 7.4V/3A that's capable of providing faster heating (and/or more heat) in comparison to ordinary power banks with 5V/2A output; though, the exact performance really depends on a number of factors (amount of wiring and/or the area) so that's not a definitive way to determine the effectiveness of these heated vest. All else being equal, higher wattage will produce more heat faster.≡ ValueAll things considered, this is a fairly decent heated vest that's well made and for the most part works as expected without issues. It's reasonably priced at $140 for what it provides and its overall quality, features, and performance. There are quite a few other options and/or alternatives out there with up to 10 or even 12 zones (mostly still have a 2-button control though) that's more cost effective if that's something you interested; however, not all of 'em include a battery pack although a few others do come with 20000 mAh or even larger battery if you care to shop around (they of course cost a bit more). Your mileage might vary.
