The vest is good quality, and a good length. My only criticism is that the battery sits in a front left pocket. I'm using this to play spring golf so I feel unbalanced when I swing with the battery up front. It also changes the fit as I zip it up in the front.I love this vest! I hate the cold and my husband bought this for me for Christmas! :) It has a battery pack that is placed behind the left pocket where there is a small wire to attach or detach it to. It comes with the plug-in charger for the battery pack. The battery lasts sufficient time once fully charged. I've worn it on top of t-shirts and I've also worn it on top of fleece jackets works great both times. I was worried it was not going to fit my chest area due to larger bust size when I first opened it, however it fits great. Love it!I hate being cold, and this was the answer. It was such a comfort for when I had to go out in the bitter cold. It heated quickly. I had mine on high for only an hour at a time, but it stayed consistently warm the entire time. Do not size up. I think it is best to have it mor snug on the body, than loose.Runs very smallI purchased a large and almost returned this item but, at the last minute, changed my mind. I am 5’9, 180 lbs and the “girls” aren’t small. This vest fit me everywhere but it was tight around the chest, when zipped up completely. I read a few reviews stating how you want it to fit snug. I also considered that I would likely wear it under a jacket during hunting season. I decided to keep it and so glad that I did.Because it is snug, the heat is felt more. I think, if it was looser, I wouldn’t feel the heat as much. It also fits nicely under my jacket.Currently, I am wearing it in my office. I wear it open but, when I am cold, I zip it up and I’m super toasty in less than a minute. I do plan to wear this under my shell jacket skiing and under my jacket, hunting.I purchased the berry coloured one. I get compliments daily! The color is lovely. I have referred this vest to at least half a dozen people! I might have to ask for commission! Haha!My only complaint is that the button you use to activate the heat, lights up, and is on the outside of the vest. It would be nice if it wasn’t so bright and obvious.Provides great warmth and fit. Wish there were more colors choices and a battery that uses a common charger like usb-c. The battery is a bit bulky, but that is common for that capacity in other uses.I am a photographer that is out in the elements often and I have been looking for the best heated vest. I ordered several and they were all very cheap feeling. This vest is quality and I love that I can select the heat settings. Highly recommend.LOVE this vest. I had a double mastectomy with reconstruction in 2020 and no one tells you how cold the implants can get. This vest makes winter much more tolerable! I love the 3 heat levels and best of all it is comfortable and fits well. I’m 5’9” and 160 lbs - I bought the women’s XL so I can carry personal protection when out for my walks. Quality product! I wear it on low heat and it's plenty warm and it lasts the whole time I'm at work.Purchased for my wife to use while in Dialysis, as the hospital keeps the Dialysis Unit very cool and the Dialysis Machines actually cool your blood while processing it.My wife is very uncomfortable and needed something to keep her wam.The unit arrived yesterday night, so I charged rage battery over night.Sh used it during her four(4) hour dialysis session.She had it running on high in order to keep her warm.The battery pack ran out of power in approximately three (3) hours.She loved how warm it kept her.HOWEVER we will have to purchase a second battery pack to get her heating for the whole four (4) hours.Thanks for a great product !!!I have ordered multiple heated vests from different companies. They were all too BIG (as in size small fit like a size 10-12) and I could not feel the heat. For me I need my heated vest to be fitted to feel the heat for it to be effective. Finally I found an Extra small with this company Venture. It fits snug and It gets quite warm, my only complaint is with this extra small vest, you get extra small pockets and I cannot fit my hands in it comfortably, so forget putting anything in the pockets and because its fitted you can feel the bulky battery.Also the vest does not look like the photo advertised. it does not have a sheen to it, like the one the model is wearing.I like the vest on its own, but bought it because I wanted a heated garment for work and their advertised battery life was good. Too good to be true, unfortunately. I've worn it 3 times. Instead of 7 hours on medium (as advertised) I'm getting under 3 hours. Also, I wish these companies wouldn't use proprietary batteries, even different garments use different batteries. I'd give all my money to a company who didn't do this. Building a cold weather wardrobe is expensive enough as it is without not being able to interchange batteries, or needing to spend a fortune on extras because they misrepresent how long the batteries last. Disappointing.A little small for me, the battery does not last that long on low. I got 5 hours or so off and on though the day. Not to sure if it's just the battery or what. I'll have to get a second battery for it to last. It does ceep the chill off as I work in a warehouse all day and it a cold place to work.Très efficace, il me garde au chaud comme prévu
