I love this vest! Living in Minnesota we have plenty of cold and this is amazing. It heats up very quickly. The neck is heated, which makes all the difference to me. It flashes red when it’s heating. Then goes to the white light- lowest setting once heated. I tend to use the medium or high setting when outside walking or in my car. The lower setting of shopping at a store or at work.
It is not bulky. I can wear my regular winter coat over it. But to be honest, I rarely do. Thisbest keeps me so warm.
I thought I would be able to feel the hard coils like you would with an electric blanket- but you don’t. It’s amazing, everyone needs one. Definitely worth the money.
Has two pockets that zip close on the outside. I love that, nothing accidently falls out. The battery pack slips into its own inside pocket. I thought it would be heavy or bulky to drive with the battery pack- but you don’t even notice it.
The o my thing I dislike is how bright the light is on the jacket.
