PROSmart Heated Vest Polar Fleece Lightweight Heated Gilet with USB Battery, Unisex

Product Information

This puffer vest looks super stylish when layered on top of jumpers or hoodies – though as it’s one of the puffier gilets in our edit, we wouldn’t recommend layering other coats on top of this. The size of the battery can also be an important factor to your comfort as larger batteries can feel bulky and heavy. Heated Vest, 1*Battery pack, 1*User manual, 1*Charger: Please full charge the battery for the first time usage. After charging the battery, you can get three, six or 10 hours of heat from the high, medium or low settings, respectively. The down-filled design is naturally insulating, the water-repellent shell helps keep you dry in inclement weather, and the detachable hood offers full coverage from the elements.

They run on rechargeable lithium-ion or lithium-polymer batteries, which go in designated pockets where they attach to wire connectors. A French brand, today a leader in its segment, determined to design useful clothing, so that everyone - at work, at home, out and about - can feel good and take the time to do what they like, in all circumstances, with complete freedom. After pressing the power button (there are the same high, medium and low heat options as the gilet), we could detect the hand warmer heating up in just a few minutes.

A subtle choice for commuters, Portwest’s heated gilet will slot neatly under the thickest of outerwear. This fleece gilet can be used over a long-sleeved shirt on chilly fall days or layered under a jacket for cold. Most heated gilets can be popped in the washing machine on a gentle cycle, but you must disconnect the battery and leave it to fully dry before using it again.

Our testers slipped on the vests, powered them up, and performed several assessments, including checking the temperature with a digital thermometer, inspecting the features, and evaluating the overall look and feel. From the Princess of Wales to Rosie Huntington-Whitely, the gilet has accumulated a glittering clientele of those who regularly pepper the pages of Tatler. If you would prefer a full sleeve, then the Heat technology is also available in our range of heated jackets.Whether it's a gentle embrace or toasty warmth, this gilet adapts effortlessly, ensuring you stay cosy in every situation. Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis has said heated gilets cost just 7p per week to run – much cheaper than other methods of heating your home, especially if you’re the only one in during the day. Our favourite setting was the low heat level – it provided a gentle, consistent warmth without being too overbearing. Tailor your warmth as you wish with two switches that immerse the body in heat across certain areas.
