Electric Heated Vests - are they worth it?

[BatteryPoweredMammy]

I was looking for alternative ways to keep warm this coming winter without having the heating on in every room during the day and have seen lots of adverts for heated vests/gilets.

Do they work well and are they worth investing in?

Bought one for my DH last year. I also borrowed it a few times to wear after winter outdoor swims. Worked well for both of us.

Just read the reviews. The one you linked has a few saying it stops working pretty quickly. I have been wanting one, but haven't found one with consistently good reviews yet.

@junbean yes, I read a few reviews saying they didn’t last long on a single charge or they stopped working completely within a shortish space of time. It’s difficult to find one that looks a good long term product.

@NowItsSpring That sounds positive. Where did you buy the one for your DH please?

Bought ours off Amazon - read lots of feedback first as quite mixed. Chose one about £40, so not the cheapest but it has been worth it. Bought an extra set of power banks so we could swop the over if needed but charge lasted quite well - does depend how warm you want it and how cold the weather is.
