VenustasUnisex Dual-Control Heated Jacket, Water-resistant Heated Coat for Women and Men with Battery Included

UPDATE Feb 21 2023 So I was able to chat with Amazon cuz it clearly says AMAZON gives you 90 guarantee for this item. And they are allowing return. There is a connection issue either internal to the male side or internal to the wire side. This is the wire connecting to the battery. But clearly won't successfully stay on. I didnt see others having this issue, I don't think, so maybe I was just unlucky with this one. I will try again. The coat is warm on its own, but I do want the heating feature. It was nice. :)UPDATE Feb 18 2023 I received this item on Jan 11, but didn't wear it until a day or two later. Well as of a few days ago, the heating is malfunctioning. Whenever I move or sit with the coat on the indicator lights flash blue, white, red and then it shuts off. This is just after a months use. Poor design in my opinion. I had tried plugging in the battery pack and putting the unit in with the connected end down so the connection wasn't being wiggled around and bent. Attempted to contact Amazon about the issue and am told Nope, outside the return window so now it appears I have a 150 piece of junk coat. VERY DISSAPOINTING. I was really hoping this was going to last at least a few years. When it did work, it was nice to be warm. But now......do not recommend. It would be nice if the company would reach out and try to make this right.This was a gift from my husband. He ordered me a large, but we decided, I should get the Xl so I have extra room for layering. I'm 5'2" and about 175#s. The sleeves are a good length and the body length of the coats goes to the top of my thighs, so my bottom is covered. I like that. The shoulder is a little bit big, but not a big deal. I could wear a base layer and a polar fleece under it if I wanted and still be very comfortable with no constriction. I love the high collar and the fiber fill is nice and fluffy, warm, without being over the top puffy. We live in far far northern Vermont and have 4 dogs that we walk daily, no matter the weather, in addition to going to work, events etc. , this coat will get lots of use. I've had this coat a few days now and have used the battery about 4 hours, without charging, and it finally died. I love this coat and am sorry I didn't discover it myself sooner! Last February I layered up with my name brand down coat and a insulated poncho over it to keep warm. I think I'll be in much better shape for the cold weather this year. The battery takes a few hours to charge, so thinking ahead and charging over night is a good idea. I like the fabric lined pockets that are warm and soft on their own, but also fact that the pockets are also warmed by the heating elements.The only things I'd add to this coat to make is PERFECT would be, another pocket, either inside or on the breast. I do love the warm lining in the included pockets, but I'd just like another spot to hold my phone, keys, lip balm etc. It would be great if it had a double zipper, so you could open the bottom while seated. Lastly, the hood has no way to tighten around your head/face. So thats kinda weird. I suppose I'll have to wear a beanie under when I am out in windy weather, which I fully expect to be.All in all, for the price and quality, I'm very happy. This will be my go to coat for the next 2 1/2 months, so, I'll update if there is anything else to add. Def seems worth it so far.

The media could not be loaded. PROS: 1) Jacket is comfortable 2) the high setting is plenty warm during 14-30 degree days (albeit for a short duration) 3) the battery compartment is not cumbersome 4) quick heating time 5) different heat settings and heat zones 6) looks cool when buttons are warming and are lit 7) build quality is nice with the YKK zippersCONS: 1) some restrictions in the shoulder 2) battery takes some time to charge - it will only flash on the level if it's current charge amount 3) duration of battery life is quite short when both front and back warmers are used simultaneously at the high setting

After 6 years of freezing at soccer games in the winter, I had enough. The Jacket is GREAT. I have not used it at max temp, yet. I use it at LOW, to keep the chill off, so I wasn't COLD, like I used to be. LOW also maximizes the run time of the battery.The outside of the pocket is heated, so I can warm up my cold hands.The front and back heaters are nice. I can choose which one or both to run. I normally run both at LOW. The heater on the neck was a nice surprise, it felt nice.Power: At low power on both front and back heaters, I've used it for about 5 hours, and had more than 1/2 power left in the battery, based on the indicator lights on the battery.Size: The size to me is "normal." I ordered a XL based on reviews that the size runs large. But I should have order a L. The XL was too roomy, even with a fleece jacket under it.

I just bought two of these heated jackets, one for my wife and one for me. Reading the comments we both ordered a size up, which was a good choice. I'm generally an XL/2XL, but I ordered a 3XL and it fits perfect. Same for my wife, usually a medium and the large fits fine. One strange thing is the two coats came with different battery packs. Mine has what appears to be a larger, older style battery with a 4 bar battery life indicator, wife's is newer and has a digital readout of remaining power on the side. Both work, though, but seem to take quite a while to charge using the included power brick. (edit - My jacket came with at 4800 MaH battery, wife's came with a 5000 MaH.)Jacket is well made. Polyester shell, with a reflective interior that will help retain both your body heat and the heat from the coils. The coat also has polyester filling, so don't expect a feather down warmth for this jacket. Hood is removable, and disappointingly does not have any draw ties to cinch it tight. If the wind blows hard, the hood is coming off your head.As I've just received it, I've only tested it for a few minutes so far. It heated up quickly and became too warm to wear in the house on high. So it should be good out in the cold. If anything changes in dependability or build quality, I will update this review.Edit - The other strange thing is that the coat's zipper is on the left instead of the right. Even my wife thought this was strange. Zipper works fine other than that.

Heated coats are new to us although we lived most of our lives in the upper midwest and northeast. These are so amazing. They keep you warm on those cold winter days/nights while also an attractive addition to our wardrobe.

Love the jacket, had a little problem with the battery. Contacted the seller and had a replacement in a couple of days.Great customer service too!!

This is the best thing I've ever bought. I'm always cold and this went above expectations!!! Great value perfect fit

I bought my jacket in September but didn’t get a chance to actually use it until November. Canadian winter as expected was harsh. Right off the dot, the jacket was really helpful. It was very efficient and did a great job at keeping me warm on the job. I work outside so the jacket is well loved. I had issues with my battery after 2 months of use. Just like any other product, I guess there’s always that one off from a batch and unfortunately I got that one off. But fortunately for me, Venustas offered such a great customer service and was quick at sending a replacement of the battery. Their customer service is exceptional and they offer great warranty coverage. Been using the jacket for 5 months now and I’m enjoying every bit of it. I would recommend this jacket to everyone!

OK Battery too short

Jacket fit well , smaller fit than you would expect for a large. The battery only charged once to 37% but never worked when attached to the jacket. Tried charging it further but it never worked.
