Venture HeatWomen's 7.4V Heated Sweater with Battery - Rechargable Electric Warming Knit Fleece (Jacket or Vest)

The jacket is a great fabric, a nice loose medium without being bulky. But the battery is heavy and chunky and you can see it weighted in my front pocket. A slimmer, lighter battery would have given this a 5 star.

Good quality, runs large compared to my other venture vest

Nice fit

Health problems with keeping warm , it looks great but needs to be longer in the back, then it a peers! For the cost it’s over priced but looks great , battery works well . Just needs a longer heating strips 🙂

I bought one of these for my fiance as well as the men's version for myself.It's basically a heated patagonia better sweaterThe vest material is thinner and not as plush as our better sweaters, but since this vest is heated, we're happy with it regardless. Super flattering neutral color, and has a nice outdoorsy look. The heating element is soft and stretchy, but what really impressed me was wearing it under a windbreaker to lock in the heat. I’m excited to wear it on cold days!

Before purchasing this product I didn’t pay much attention to where the heat was located. Now that I’ve been wearing the jacket, I love not only the warmth but the comfort it provides. The heat is located in the upper front and at the upper back—like a cozy embrace, like a warm, reassuring hand at your back to remind you that you’re a tough badass human who simply says, “no” to feeling cold.So. If you like soft jackets, warm hugs, not freezing, and reassurance that you’re not a failure, get this jacket.

Works best for me as a mid-layer with a thin wool zip-T under and a jacket or fleece on top. THe heat stays close to the body that way, not losing half to the cold weather. The vest runs large. I ended up with an extra small and there's still plenty of room for a thick fleece underneath it. My jackets otherwise are smalls and medium - no other XS in the collection.Seems to hold the battery life well.

This jacket definitely keeps my mom warm! The package came with instructions on how to use it. She never had a heated jacket, and she loves it. It is great for her cold morning walks. It is easy to just plug the power pack and let rest it in the pocket. The different heat settings are helpful when she heats up from her walk. The only thing that she said could be improved is for the material to be more softer.
