I tried three different ones, so I thought I’d share all the reviews to compare and contrast.

Venture Heat Women's Heated Vest with Battery 12 Hour - The Roam Puffer Heated Vest for Women, USB Powered
Pros – looks nice, quality material in both vest and zipper. Warmer definitely works. Probably a lot of people (mainly women) will be happy with this one as its well designed and looks and feels nice, not everyone will care about the cons below.
Cons – can’t control chest and back separately and back gets too warm for me, although this might be different if not pregnant. Runs small. Battery reportedly doesn’t last as long as others (I have not tried this out though)

Ptahdus Men's Heated Vest, Lightweight Down Heated Vest for Men with Neck Warmer (Included Battery Pack)
Poor quality material in both vest and zipper, just seemed cheap and zipper did not move easily like quality zippers do. Also ran small. It had heat in chest and back, but you could not do them separately, which isn’t great for indoors when you are sitting on a couch and your back is getting too warm. I believe the neck can be controlled separately.

ARRIS Heated Vest Size Adjustable 7.4V Battery Electric Warm Vest for Hiking Camping
This one I am probably keeping
Pros- I LOVE that you can control all three zones separately (chest, back, stomach). I also love that its adjustable, this is especially great as I am pregnant right now, so I can make it bigger, then smaller again to fit afterwards. Right now obviously I don’t want the stomach heat and I rarely want the back heat, this is the only one I’ve found where you can control zones separately. The battery supposedly last longer, I haven’t tested it out for long periods, but, if true, big bonus.
Cons- Battery is heavy in pocket- but this is true for all of them. Doesn’t look particularly attractive, reminds me of like a hunting vest or something; vneck hangs very low. But I tend to go for comfort over appearance.

****DO NOT BUY*** I washed this vest ONE time, strictly following the washing instructions, and the vest shredded in MULTIPLE places. Horrible fabric quality. This is WAY too expensive for this to happen the first time I washed it.

This is amazing. I wore it out on Halloween with my kids. I had the coat on high for 3 hours. Then the next day wore it on high for another 2 hours. Great battery strength. The coat has a nice women’s fit to it and is not bulky. I love it!! I am 115 / 5’4” and have a small so I can wear larger clothes under it.

This is just ok. I have the black ORORO heated vest and it’s a lot better. The battery doesn’t last as long as advertised either but I wanted a white vest and the other brand only had the black that I already own. If you’re looking for a good heated vest, stick with ORORO.

Pros- heats up fast, very warm, lots of pockets
Cons - Sizing way off (I’m a sm/med so I ordered small because I wanted this to be fitted and not bulky under a jacket. I’m swimming in it and should have gotten XS.) Returns aren’t free, battery overheats if on warmest setting for 10-15 minutes so it shuts off. I realize I’m freezing then have to dig down to my bottom layer to take battery out to let it cool down before I can use the heat again. So really it can only be used on coolest setting, or on medium setting for about 45 minutes before overheating/shutting off.

Perfect fit for My friend I bought this for. She’s 5’4” 115lbs and a small was perfect over 1 layer. Very warm she said and the run time is great! I have a hoodie and if it’s cold you want to use it as a mid layer with at least a shell over it to hold the heat in! Harder to feel the heat if it’s the 3rd-4th layer. Over 1 long sleeve shirt is perfect!!

We spend a lot of time outdoors and I was looking for something to keep me warm that wasn't too bulky. This vest is Great. Light weight but warm on it's own. The heat is so nice. I am very happy with this product. I typically wear a medium but after reading the reviews ordered a small and it fits perfectly.

I love the idea of this vest. It certainly keeps me warm, though I feel like the battery that comes with it doesn't hold quite as much of a charge as the description reads. According to their size chart, I am an extra small, so that's what I ordered. This thing is at least 4 inches too wide for me, and barely reaches the top of my pants. Even with a base, mid layer, and my heaviest wool sweater, it's still too loose- and I can't feel the heat through all that.

It's a lightweight vest, so having it be as fitted as possible for autumn weather or to layer underneath a jacket is a must. I'm going to rip this thing apart and use my sewing skills to make it smaller. I'm grateful I can do that, but I'm pretty bummed I need to.
