Coat is very good heats up quick very well made. The only thing I don’t like about it is the battery every time you turn the heat off you have to zip open the battery pocket and turn on the battery again you wound think at $139.99 for the coat it would have a better battery. The size runs a little big. Update the battery is junk do not buy the coat just because of the battery.

Bought XXL version. Normally wear XXL or XXXL depending on brand. Bought this because of it being larger than expected and it was. Easy to wear a hoodie underneath it.Bought this because I was tired of wearing my overalls in the warehouse which I work during the cold season here in Midwest. So far super warm and helpful, only have to wear T-shirt underneath while it’s on to stay warm most days.Description says that it lasts 4-6 hours on high, id say more along the lines of 3, however the original powerbank that came with it was faulty and didn’t charge properly. Seller promptly and without question sent a replacement.Bought an extra power bank just in case because I wanted power throughout the entire work day.Extra powerbank last around 5 hours on high so with two powerbank I get a full days power when working 8 hour shifts.I get asked about my jacket all the time at work because the front light gives it away for sure, however whenever it is on low (blue light) people ask if it is Air Conditioned as well. (This is not the case.) I’d suggest maybe manufacturing these with a High – Red, Medium – Orange, Low- Yellow color scheme instead of the Red, White, Blue it currently is to avoid confusion. I’d also suggest a better design for the collar as it seems to get in the way a bit but no big deal.All in all, I’ve worn this in the first week for around 60-70 hours and love it.

Great quality and well made, with heavy material. Pretty warm even without turning it on. Lasts as expected. It has been great so far and customer service is excellent if you need to contact them. Highly Recommend buying one.

I have had this jacket for a couple weeks now but held off on a review until I could try out the heating aspect. First though, this jacket looks great, it’s light and without the heat turned on is a pretty warm piece of clothing. Tonight though… I went for a walk it’s 56 degrees and raining, this weather is usually what gets to me, I started off the walk at the medium temperature and eventually turned it down to low. I never got the “chill” the usually would have plagued me and with the light rain, the jacket kept me dry. The quality of this garment is superb!I would definitely recommend this jacket and this company, I am looking forward to when winter steps in to really try this jacket out. I know it’s early but it may be the only jacket I use this season.

I’ve only had the jacket for a day, but seems to heat well, fit right and came in a neat little package. The next day shipping was awesome as well. I plan on using it this weekend and into next week while sitting in my deer stand. Only concern I have is the charging time of the battery. I asked and the response was 6 hours – hopefully this one goes a little quicker.11.13.2019 – following up to my prior review. I had on a long underwear shirt, a light hooded sweatshirt, this jacket and my hunting jacket. The temp when I got into my truck last night was at 3 degrees above zero. I got to my stand around 1:30 in the afternoon and sat until 4:40 ish. Jacket was on the low setting. Never once did my torso get chilled or was I shivering! I wore the jacket 4 nights and was awesome. Ran into another hunter who was talking about the cold, had him feel the inside of the jacket and he said he would be getting one.I just upgraded the jacket to a 5 star. And, the battery did take a while to recharge, but since that took place over night, I have no idea how long that takes to fully charge.

Really nice looking jacket and so simple to use. The warmth is really nice. I’m a big fan of the collar heat. I got the M since most people said to go down a size. It’s definitely snug, close fit, which is ok since I wouldn’t need layers in this. The Large might have been better but it’s possible the sleeves might have too long. The sleeves on the Medium is perfect, but the chest and upper torso is snug. As long as it breaks in a bit the Medium will be just fine. This is where trying both in a store would have been best…but it’s Amazon. All in all great jacket! And very cool (or hot) technology!Update: I ordered Large as well to test sizes. The sleeves are a touch too long. And there is a little more more room on the stomach chest and back areas. But it’s still a little “snug” for a jacket…probably because of the non stretch heating elements. I think they designed it for lanky types of people. Those with large chest/back will end up needing it to be snug there or go larger and have sleeves that are slightly too long. They should change the overall “shape” of the jacket to be more roomy up top.

Bought this for my husband who’s been working outside. Quality materials and construction. Fits as expected. He’s only had it a week, and I received a message today while he was at work “Best coat ever!”. Even without the heating element on, this jacket is warm. Using it on low with temps in the low 30’s seems to be fine for him (bearing in mind he’s used to the cold. I would likely need a full bodysuit on “high” with temps in the 50’s). He can’t wait to use it for hunting next season. Cuz. Ya know. “Deer. Deer. Deer, turkey, deer, deer!” I do wish the battery back was USB compatible, but that seems to be an issue with all the brands. This one does have a USB port, but it’s only to charge your phone. The input for the coat is different and extra batteries are $60-ish. So far, so good. Will update if it doesn’t hold up well.
