I am getting one for my wife, so thank you for the long term review. My wife is also always cold and at the kids sporting events she has blankets so this will be perfect. Thank you.
I've bought two Ororo items - a vest and a hooded jacket. I wouldn't recommend the brand because of the power bank. It's like a little brick with an insufficient battery life. I need to lug around two power banks for when one runs out. If you're out for the day in the snow, the lower settings may not be adequate and the highest setting goes through the battery in a couple of hours. Other heated clothes use updated small, slim and more powerful universal powerbanks. I bought a $25 ebay heated vest for my son for a two month winter trip in Hokkaido, Japan. It performed well and lasted all day thanks to it's acceptance of a Cygnett 20,000 powerbank. Yes the battery performance matters - a lot!
I agree. Battery life is important. Here in the Midwest United States the battery has performed well and we have had nonissues. I would not see any reason you could not use a larger battery bank as you suggested as long as the plug works.
I still hurt… but that’s just life at this point. It does help with the cold though. I live in mine a few months out of the year. Thanks for the nice comment :-)
I like to wear heated vests in winter and I usually wear a sweater underneath the heated vest so it's warm enough for me, I love the ECIFEE brand of heated vests, the designer is simply amazing!
After you click on the link and go to the product page you can read the reviews and see other people who are in your size range (weight/height) and make a decision based on their reviews as well! Hope this helps :)
On mine… any usb c will charge it. I plug it in to my kids iPad charger (usb c) and it charges just fine. So I would assume a standard charging block should work. Hope this helps
As long as the plug fits and it is the same voltage I would not see why not. Although I have not needed to try as the battery lasts a long time and is easy to charge. May want to research this a bit more
Ah not a real fan . As far as the concept , it’s great Like the neck heat. But there are other manufacturers who have entered the market with cheaper better designed stuff . Original batteries sucked , placement in some pocket you can’t reach while wearing the vest . Now of course they have new batteries . My main gripe is the lack of standing behind their product . I had a vest that developed an intermittent connection rendering it broken . So of course after questions and videos it was deemed a battery issue which has a much shorter warranty than the heating element. Since I’ve bought several vests for my crew I’d expect a better answer than “ buy a new battery “ . Not great customer service .
Wow! I’m buying one now!
You will not regret it! Best decision before winter ❄️
I have one and love it for winter bike riding. Thanks for your overview, Sarah. This is a great product!
Thank YOU! for the kind review. We appreciate having you here with us on the channel!
@@TheHappyHootie you are so welcome!
I just got their quilted vest version and it’s amazing.
They really are great. I end up “living” in mine during the winter months. :-)
I got one for Christmas and I love it too!! Great for dog walking on a cold morning.
I have the 2… have not tried their other products. Let us know if you do and if you like them! Thanks for subscribing:-). We appreciate you!
Fantastic review. Great work and thanks'.
Glad we could help. I love this product!
Very helpful. Thanks! I just got one and couldn't figure out what the button on the chest did. The instructions were limited.
Glad we could help! You will love it… it’s the season that I am wearing mine often!

You can buy a $10 step up cable and use whatever battery you want
Living in a cold area this would help so much. Especially, with my chronic pain 😊

Thanks for watching! I’ll check out that brand too :)
Now Ororo vest is my best friend👍
Don’t leave home in the winter without it!
I had a medium in a different brand and it was huge ,so. I’m torn as to what size to order

Just wanna know if any other Charging brick with USB C cable can charge the battery..
On mine… any usb c will charge it. I plug it in to my kids iPad charger (usb c) and it charges just fine. So I would assume a standard charging block should work. Hope this helps
Can other batteries be used?
As long as the plug fits and it is the same voltage I would not see why not. Although I have not needed to try as the battery lasts a long time and is easy to charge. May want to research this a bit more
Had one cheap crap mine lasted 3 weeks
I've had this one for years and love it! I wear it all the time and it still works great :)

Good to know! Have had no issues with mine (own 2) I agree there are competitor products. Thanks for letting us know!
I got a camo one for hunting. Hope this will work well in the woods.
Be safe!
