The battery sits in the front of the heated jacket, which is really helpful if you’re doing physical work as it won’t rub on your back the whole time.

Unfortunately, the battery only lasts for 2 hours on the max setting, and people have experienced some technical difficulties with charing their phone and heating the elements.

Milwaukee Jacket

The Milwaukee Jacket will really keep you warm. Its outer shell is great at blocking cold weather – wind and rain while the internal fleece lining stops heat from escaping. it also features FreeFlex mobility gussets to ensure you get maximum freedom of movement for any outdoor activities.

This heated jacket comes with three heating elements, and like the others, there are two on the chest and one on the back. There are three heat settings, low, medium, and high, and it’s simple to switch between them.

You can also change the temperature of the chest and back element independently to direct heat to where you want or need it most.

You can expect to get 8-hours of battery on the lowest setting but, the battery isn’t included and you’ll have to buy it separately. You don’t get a USB port with this gated jacket either, so there are no charging options.

These heated jackets do run small, so check the size chart and make sure you’re ordering above your normal size. Overall, the Milwaukee Jacket is a little overpriced for not coming with a battery no USB port, but as a simple heated jacket, it does a good job.

ORORO Heated Hoodie

The ORORO Heated Hoodie is not an outer layer but more of a mid-layer. It’s made from cotton and polyester for durability and comfort. The hoodie has a relaxed baggy fit, as all hoodies should, and comes with a high-quality YKK zipper.

It features 3 heating zones, two on the chest, and one on the back. You can switch between three heat settings with the click of a button and expect to get up to 10 hours of battery life on the lowest setting. You’ll find a USB port connected to the rechargeable battery so you can charge your USB devices on the move too.

The hoodie heats you up quickly and is great for working in cold weather or cold indoor areas like a warehouse. If you venture into the wind and rain, you’ll want to add wind & water-resistant layer to keep you dry and the heat in. There is a soft fleece lining on the inside that traps heat very effectively but it is breathable, hence the need for a jacket.

You can happily put this heated jacket in a washer and dryer but it does say 50+ cycles, so it may deteriorate after a while.

Overall the ORORO Heated Hoodie is a great option to keep you warm inside and out but you’ll need to add a layer in serious weather.

The ITIEBO Heated Jacket Soft Shell is made from a breathable polyester outer shell with a fleece lining. It’s stylish, fits well, is both wind and water-resistant and, the fleece keeps you well insulated.

The heated jacket comes with a foldable hood and you can machine wash it, so cleaning it won’t be a hassle. It’s advised to wash it in a mesh bag to preserve the heating elements though.

It comes with 3 heating zones, two on the chest, and one on the back. You can pick between low, medium, and high heat settings. They are easy to switch between but the LED that lets you know which setting you’re on is on the outside, so everyone can see it.

The battery life is great, giving you 10 hours on low, 7 hours on medium, and up to 4 hours on max. The battery also has a USB port for charging any USB device on the go.

Overall this heated jacket ticks all the boxes, but you’ll have to be ok with the LED light being on the outside for everyone to see.

PTAHDUS Heated Soft Shell Jacket

The PTAHDUS Heated Soft Shell Jacket takes things up a notch by providing 5 heating zones.

You get the normal 3; 2 on the chest, and 1 on the back. But, you also get 2 pocket warmers for your hands, which are often the most chilly. Also, you can independently control the body or hand heating elements to tailor the jacket’s warmth to your needs.

The heated jacket is made with a weather-resistant outer layer and comes with a cotton insulation layer that does an amazing job of trapping heat, so you won’t have to waste the battery to stay warm.

You can choose from three heat settings: high, medium, and low. In terms of battery life, the jacket will give you 8 hours of heat on the lowest setting which is pretty solid. The jacket is also machine washable and comes with a 6-month warranty in case anything goes wrong.

It does come with a charging port but it’s USB-C, and while this does charge things faster, it’s a bit redundant when pretty much all phones use USB 2.o/3.o.

Overall it’s a great heated jacket, but you’ll probably have to sacrifice the charging option.

Smarkey Heated Jacket

The Smarkey Heated Jacket is the lightest jacket in the review while still being great in bad weather. It’s made of Rayon which is both water and wind-resistant, and a great insulator. So, despite being thin, this heated jacket does a great job keeping the heat in and bad weather out.

The only drawbacks of this heated jacket are that it is a little thin for cold weather days and the battery is a little bulkier than on the others, which may get annoying.

Overall, this quality heated jacket that’s well made and affordable. You may need to add a layer on those colder days though.

ORORO Men's Lightweight Heated Vest

If you are after a heated vested instead of a heated jacket, this option from our friends at Ororo is one worth considering.

it has the usual suspects in terms of four carbon fiber heating elements located around the collar, mid-back, and underneath two pockets.

As a heated vest, you will likely need to wear it under a winter jacket or at the very last a hardshell jacket to keep the cold air and wind out.

Another surprising thing about this heated vest is that it is machine washable. They claim it can endure 50 washes. So, don’t throw it in once a week.
