DR.PREPARE Unisex Heated Gilet, Heated Jacket with 3 Heating Levels, 10 Heating Zones, Adjustable Oversized, Smart Buttons(Battery Pack Not Included)

Positives: Great Gillet, warm even without heat turned on. Works really well. Sizes S-M fit really well with the the way the extra room/zip works. Negative: The only negative is the inside pocket and suggested 20000mAh Power Bank (PB) to buy with it, not available anymore. This inside pocket for the PB is just too small for a chunky PB, that would be the same issue for most chunky PBs. In my opinion, the currently suggested PB would also sit in the pocket, however you would not be able to zip it closed.

I bought the DR.PREPARE Heated Gilet for hiking during colder months, and it’s been a game-changer. The vest heats up quickly with its 3 adjustable heating levels and 6 heating zones, which really makes a difference on chilly days. The fit is comfortable and adjustable, making it easy to layer over other clothing without feeling bulky. I like that it’s unisex and works well for both men and women. The USB power option is super convenient for charging on the go, although you need to provide your own battery pack. Setup was straightforward, and I appreciate that the vest is lightweight yet provides effective warmth exactly where I need it. Delivery was prompt and packaging was neat. Overall, a great purchase if you want reliable warmth during outdoor activities like hiking or walking. I’d definitely recommend it!

- The heated vest is a lifesaver during chilly hikes. It warms up quickly and keeps you cozy with its three heating levels. The adjustable size is a big plus, making it versatile for different body types. - Love the six heating zones. They distribute warmth evenly, so no more cold spots. It's like having a personal heater wrapped around you. - The design is sleek and unisex, which means it fits well and looks good on anyone. It's lightweight, so you can wear it under a jacket without feeling bulky. - One downside is that the battery pack isn't included. It's a bit of a hassle to find a compatible one, and it adds to the overall cost. - It would be great if the vest had a longer battery life. On high settings, it drains pretty fast, so carrying a backup is a must for longer outings. - The USB connection is handy, but it could be more secure. Sometimes it feels like it might disconnect with too much movement. Overall, it's a solid choice for staying warm outdoors, but a few tweaks could make it even better.

I got this vest at a discounted price so ordered it to try as I'd always wanted one but was hesitant because with some of these heated vests the reviews say they don't work. THIS WORKS. I was actually pretty impressed, as was my Mother, with the heat that came out of it - not too hot, but you can definitely feel heat in plenty of places. I like how you put your battery pack in an inside zipped pocket rather than an outer one and my own battery pack I had for my phone at 10,000mAh worked well. I haven't tested it to see how many hours it will go for yet. I got a medium size as I couldn't find it in my size which is 'small' and I figured it would do other members of my family if it was too big and yeah, you definitely need to order the correct size in small if you're small - if the gilet is too roomy with a huge air gap, obviously it won't heat you up properly. My Mum liked it so much, she is taking it for herself and I'm now looking for a small for me. The only thing I didn't like about it is that I'm a very auditory person and the material (which is a bit like sleeping bag material) is a wee bit noisy, not excessively noisy, but I'd just prefer quieter material. Also, where the battery pack pocket is positioned, it means the battery pack will partially sit on one of the heating panels. Battery packs aren't supposed to be heated, so I'm buying a smaller thin battery pack for it, and stitching up half of the inner pocket to avoid the battery pack sitting on the heated panel... It's also fairly thin material which is good so you can layer it if you want - if it were too thick, you wouldn't feel the direct heat. It would be fantastic for use outside in really cold temperatures, where you need to be able to move easily, or inside if you don't want to put the heating on. I gave this 4 stars based on it well exceeding my expectations in terms of heat and function, also the price and quality was great, good pockets, comfortable. The adjustment is better than expected as it means the vest could potentially be used by two significantly different sized people (the adjusting zip expands it by many inches), so if you aren't sure you'll use it much, you could use one vest between two people of two different sizes if you wanted. Hope this helps, I'd definitely recommend it.

Swift same day delivery , great fit and decent heat . Well packaged and came with laundry beg .

Brilliant! I have ended up buying 3 if these now. Get really nice and warm, used for over a year now and all of them are still going strong, all heating elements working still. Very impressed, and the sizing is really flexible

the vest arrived super quick. it looks really nice and feels good. the zippers on the side are great to adjust the size. i could only try out the highest heat setting as the medium was not working and the lowest was too low. the neck gets really warm which is lovely. unfortunately the vest does not get hot enough to feel when worn over a jumper.

Was very impressed initially when removed from the box, fit well and the adjustable sides were a great idea. Plugged in a battery pack and only half the coat warmed up and then it kept shorting out the battery pack, only staying on for around 10-15secs - had to return. Have to say it was a smooth returns policy. Such a shame as I loved the item
