In the winter, do you love wrapping yourself in an electric blanket and wish you could actually leave the house like that? Well, somehow you can. There's a popular heated vest that keeps customers so toasty on a cold winter trip that they'll pass out – and the most vocal fan of Ororo's heated vest is singing and acting legend Reba McEntire. Currently, you can purchase it in Silver Gray for just $140 when you redeem the on-page coupon, down from $170.

Sure, it's insulated with an eco-friendly fill, but the real star of the show is the carbon fiber heating elements embedded in its wind- and water-resistant shell. This creates four heating zones – in the left and right front areas, in the upper back area and on the collar – which distribute the heat evenly throughout the vest.

Why is it a good offer? 💰

The Ororo heated vest that McEntire told new York is a “life-saving” winter essential and “the greatest invention known to man” – a true endorsement! The silver gray has a coupon on the site, making it the cheapest version, but the five other colors are also on offer.

Why do I need this? 🧐

The Ororo heated vest has battery-powered heating elements, so you must remember to charge the vest via the USB port. However, it stays warm for up to 10 hours on a single charge! “The charge lasts a long time, but I always advise people to buy the extra battery as a backup,” McEntire said. “There’s nothing worse than being in a cold place and having your battery die.”

Are you worried about overheating? Don't be. You can customize your heat level by choosing between three heat levels. And you don't have to sweat when washing the Ororo vest either: you can easily throw it straight into the machine, but you can also wash it by hand if you want. Either way, you can expect years of toasty performance: the battery can be charged up to 800 times before you need to replace it!

What reviewers say 💬

But don't just take McEntire's word for it. Believe the nearly 7,900 Amazon customers who swear by this piece.

Advantages 👍

“Best invention of all time!” enthused one enthusiastic reviewer. “I always feel cold when I go outside. I live in Minnesota, but now that I'm getting older, I get colder more. It's my neck that's so tense when I'm cold, and the heating mechanism is right there in the back of my neck.”

“I searched for heated vests for a year and finally decided on these based on the reviews,” said another happy shopper. “I love it! I have Raynaud's and the warmth of the vest improves my blood circulation. The battery lasts for hours and the vest is very comfortable.”

Even medical professionals love it. “Best decision I ever made,” shared a healthcare worker. “I work in interventional radiology and can't wear a jacket or long sleeves in the cold rooms because I have to dress and stay sterile. In some cases this has brought about a turning point. I have the navy blue and it looks great with the hospital gown.

Disadvantages 👎

Some buyers say it could use some minor adjustments.

Another buyer wrote: “The only thing I would change about the vest is the way the on/off button/heat setting button lights up. I wish there was an option to turn it off, but I can live with it, it's not a problem.”

“I bought this for my mom and she loves it!” exclaimed one final fan. “Most of our families have these and we love them. My only complaint is that the battery takes forever to charge.”

Feel free to wear it under a jacket for extra warmth, but it's powerful enough to wear on its own.

“These saved my Raynaud's hands last winter,” wrote one five-star fan. “I literally used them every night when I went to bed. I held one in my hand and fell asleep. I don't know what I would do without her. Sometimes I used the high setting and ran it up and down my neck for pain relief.”
