Review for Men's Fleece Heated Jackets

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

It kept med warm while in Germany.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

I had the last version that Brookstone sold and this is much better. It heats up immediately and the battery lasts longer. Jacket is conservative looking which is good. I'll use it this winter and also try it out under the leather jacket when riding season starts.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

It's an extra heat reserve to call on when you need it. I bought the jacket expressly to use on rotary and fixed-wing aircraft and so far it has served that purpose very well.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

I spend many hours of the day and often times all night long, outside for work and this jacket keeps me toasty.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

Pay attention to the charging instructions and leave "ON"

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

Lightweight, warm

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

I wear this jacket almost all the time. Sometimes with the heater turned on and sometimes without the heater. The only drawback is that the battery doesn't last more than about 2 hours. I probably need to purchase a back up battery.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

Keeps you fairly warm.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

If it doesn't work every time, it's not dependable. I only had it for a week. It worked once. It's too light of a jacket to take along without the assurance that the heater would work.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

Ideal for all cold temperatures when you are outside for any prolong length of time.

It holds its warmth at almost a steady temperature.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

My son will wear when he is out making calls and doing bids seeing he owns a roofing company and will try as a layer when he snowmobiles. He actually has not tried it yet because he has been on vacation and just got back.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

Great for those early cold mornings.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

This is a good warm liner but I would wear an additional layer on the outside on really cold and windy days. It was much lighter than I was expecting which is a major pro. It resembles the popular North Face jackets.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

The Heated Vest may well be a better choice since there is no heating in the sleeves anyway and the jacket is not water resistant.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

The jacket works great! Used it to go fishing in cold weather.....kept me very warm...my friends want to get one!!!

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

It has just enough heat as to not get you over heated when walking or moving around outdoors.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

I purchased this jacket as a gift for my father who lives in West Virginia. He owns a business and he is in and out of the cold weather so often that he doesn't have enough to keep warm and to help him not to sweat during his work. I thought this was a great purchase because it is light weight, he can control his tempature, and continue to work in the cold without worrying about getting bronchitis or a bad chest cold. I love this jacket and the vest. I will purchase the vest in the future. Thanks for the options.

I bought the jacket for my husband and he loves it. He works outdoors and it keeps him warm and is stylish.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

Gave this gift to a friend that works construction. He has to be at the site by 4am and rides his motorcycle in. This is a good gift for bike riders who hate to take off layers once they get to thier destination, but still like the comfort of staying warm on thier ride.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

The jacket itself is warm on it's own and well desgined; the heating elements are great, but the battery life is pathetic and no where near the 6 hours it claims. I'm lucky if I get an hour. After I take it off, I have to unplug the battery pack from the jacket because the on/off switch is too easy to turn back on when not in use. If you want to buy a secondary battery pack, it's [$] on top of the already high cost of the jacket

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

Disappointed that it can not be used in wet weather. Limited use.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

I live in Florida and go to the Everblades hockey games . The arena is very cold and the jacket keeps me warm and toasty. Other fans have ordered jackets and vests after seeing mine.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

Week after receiving the jacket, we had 4 days with highs in the teens. I used the heated jacket and stayed warm all day.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

This product is great even without the heat on, its warm and light weight, great fit, great style - 2 thumbs up!

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

Gave this jacket to my Dad for Christmas. I intended this to keep him warm while hunting at night. But he thinks it is too "nice" to hunt in and is using it for casual wear.

He loved it. It was ture to size and fit

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

Great for when you are outdoors for a long time. It is warm and cozy. The zipper tabs could be a little nicer, but they aren't bad.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

This is a lightweight jacket that turns up the heat when it gets cold; used it on a hiking trip in the winter in VIrginia...it is not bulky, but kept me toasty warm...highly recommended for all outdoor types!

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

I was happy with this item,and I took very good care to make sure that the wires and batt pack were treated with care,and the other day I charged the batt pack and connected it to the jacket and it didn't work.
When I checked the batt pack connection I noticed the wire had disconnected from the part that connects to the pack right now it's being held by a very thin wire but will not work.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

I bought this as a gift for my brother. He is so happy with the coat. He just enjoys it. He also had the vest, but now just loves the jacket. He is also impressed that there is an on off switch for the battery.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

I use this jacket for casual, outdoor enjoyment.

This product has a better battery pack charging unit along with a easier on/off button system than my previously purchased heated vest from another company.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

I learned this product from Skymall. It is a good stuff.

kept me from freezing during an nfl game.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

My father works outside in cold Chicago winters. we bought this for him to wear under his work coat. He said he actually had to turn it down the first time he wore it! Only complaint is that it only lasts 5 hours. It would be great if it lasted for a full day, but it helps especially in the early morning.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

My brother raves about his jacket. Says it is warmer than he thought and likes the on/off switch for the battery. Great product.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

The jacket did not heat up like it was described. I thought it would heat up real good for my husband to use in a cold wearhouse, however it only heated a little bit. Very disappointed.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

A gift for son-in-law and daughter as the relocate from California to Boston, Mass. I felt your item was a necessity.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

I wear my heated jacket while working construction during the winter in NYC. The jacket gets really warm-hot if used on high. The only negative is the button is easy to push accidently-even in the zippered pocket.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

I use this (with heated gloves) when I have to clear snow from our driveway, hunting, fishing, and any place "cold" where there is no "physical" activity--like watching Bear games at Soldier Field in December!

My wife uses this also.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

I bought this as a Christmas present for my husband, since he is very sensitive to the cold weather. He loved it. He uses it everyday. It is especially nice because it is lightweight and very durable. He has worn it when it was 15 degrees outside and it kept him warm.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

I bought this jacket as a surprise for my husband, who plays golf whenever he can, including in VERY cold weather. He loves his new jacket, which keeps him toasty warm for all 18 holes.

Happy Wife of Happy Husband

The battery is heavy!

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

When used according to the directions works really well. Keeps my feet and hands warm by heating my torso. When the battery runs low, I start to feel cold in my hands and feet first. [...]

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

I bought this item for my boyfriend. He is into snowmobiling and he loves this jcket. He says it's warm and fits true to size.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

Great looking and feeling jacket. Really heats. On high battery lasts about 2.5.hours, so you need the second battery. Use the jacket under layers on very cold days, alone on cool days. Lovely, wish battery packs could last longer, but still a great system.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

The jacket is great by itself. It's lightweight and warm, well-fitted. The battery lasted less than 1 year, thus needs improvements!!

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

The only con is that the outside pocket is on the same side as the battery pack. If you put your keys and wallet in the pocket you feel heavy on that side.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

I like wearing this jacket out in the cold weather, but you really have to have it up against you to feel the heat. An outer jacket on top of this would work well, but that kind of defeats the purpose.

The battery takes a while to charge and slowly discharges even when it's not in use. Basically you have to keep it plugged in until you're ready to use it. The battery on the high setting lasts about an hour and a half. If you purchase an additional battery, I think this would help. You don't want to be at a football game and your battery dies at half-time!

Speaking of the battery, it's kind of bulky sitting in the left lower inner pocket. If you happen to put your cell phone in the outer left pocket, the whole jacket will pull to the left uncomfortably. You kind of have to consciously balance yourself out by putting heavy items in your right pocket to offset the weight of the battery in the left pocket.

One last thing: This jacket is a PET HAIR MAGNET. It picks up and hold all kinds of hair. I've tried removing the hair with a lint brush, and throwing it in the dryer with a couple of dryer sheets. No luck. Hair and lint get hooked in the fibers of the jacket and are difficult to remove unless you pick them out by hand.

Other than that, this jacket is very warm and will keep you toasty warm when others are cold. One example is in the supermarket near the frozen food aisle. With the touch of a button I'm warm and comfortable.

I'd recommend this jacket, but it's probably best used underneath another jacket. You might need that extra layer in the event your 90 minutes of battery are up!

This product is fine but my battery failed after a year[$]

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

My need for the jacket is my health. I have cancer, and my matabolism is such that I am very cold all the time. This jacket allows me full range of travelling without the discomfort of being cold (freezing).

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

My husband suffers from a chronic illness and has lost a lost of weight. Due to this he suffers a great deal of discomfort from the cold. This jacket is perfect for him to wear nearly anywhere he goes. When the weather is merely chilly this lightweight jacket is warm and comfy as is but when it recently turned quite cold for a few days, he was able to use the heat feature and stay warm and comfortable without having to pull out his heavy, bulky coat. This is a great idea!

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

I am an outdoorsman and often sit for hours in frigid temps - even with the best gear in the below freezing cold you need many layers and it gets bulky - with this I need my thermals and a jacket - Wow! no more feeling the cold seeping in - this will add a few hours to my day trips. Did not think this would work but bought on a trial basis - put it on turned to high and started sweating - this generates real heat. I am seriously tough on outdoor gear and will see how this product holds up - only concern would be getting replacement batteries after 500 charges (recommended to replace)

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

I purchased this for a gift to keep a relative warm this winter, and it was a great gift idea and would work for many people who are christmas shopping.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

I use it everyday and it's comfortably warm without turning on the heat. When it gets cold, turn on, and you're warm all over.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

My husband wanted this for his hunting trips. He really was satisfied with the warmth of it. Says he'll will definitely tell his hunting friends about it!

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

Enjoyable product.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

I plan to use this when I am skiing this winter as well as when I am riding my motorcycle.

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

while browsing the mailing, I discovered the jacket. It seemed to be what I had been looking for for a while. While expensive, I took the chance. Unfortunatly, upon arrival, it was way too small, in my usual size. A quick phone call and it went on its way back. The clerk explained to me that there had been problems with the sizes.
Seems to me that shoould have been noted somewhere,but, stuff happens. Numner two arrives, and all is well. Tried it out on a chilly nighton the bike, no heater on just the coat. AHH
Works GREAT. It will be super when the lovely New England winter rolls in and I want to play outside. Remember,this is not a cheap coat,but I got what I paid for,and so will you

Comments about HEATED MENS JACKET XXLARGE KIT:

I hate trying to figure out how many layers I need to wear or carry with me when I’m hiking or at a late fall soccer game, but I also hate getting cold halfway through. With this jacket, you only have to take one lightweight layer, and you know you’ll always have warmth and wind protection when you need it.
