What is it?
Do you love to wrap yourself up in a heated blanket and wish you could actually walk out of the house that way? Well, you sort of can. There’s a popular heated vest that provides such deliciously toasty warmth on a cold winter’s outing that customers are swooning — and the most vocal fan of the Ororo Heated Vest is actually singing/acting legend Reba McEntire herself. It also happens to be on sale at Amazon!
Why is it a good deal?
The Ororo Heated Vest, which McEntire told New York magazine is a “life-saving” winter essential and “the greatest invention known to man” — quite an endorsement! — is currently down to $140 (from $170) in black. Be sure to apply the on-page coupon for the full discount! For just $10 more, you can also snag it in gray or white, and considering how much more comfortable you’ll be once the temps plummet, it’s an investment that’s well worth the price tag.
Why do I need this?
The Ororo Heated Vest has battery-operated heating elements, so you do have to remember to charge the vest via its USB port. That said, it’ll stay warm for up to 10 hours on a single charge! “The charge lasts a long time, but I always tell people to buy the extra battery pack as a backup,” McEntire said. “There’s nothing worse than being somewhere cold and your battery dies.”
Worried about overheating? Don’t be. You can customize your warmth level by choosing between three heat settings. And don’t sweat washing the Ororo vest, either: it’s safe to throw it right in the machine, but you can also hand wash it if you choose. Either way, you can expect years of toasty-warm performance: Its battery can be charged up to 800 times before you’ll need to replace it!
What reviewers say
But don’t just take McEntire’s word for it. Take it from the more than 7,000 Amazon customers who swear by this piece.
“I love this vest!” gushed one rave reviewer. “Living in Minnesota, we have plenty of cold, and this is amazing. It heats up very quickly. The neck is heated, which makes all the difference to me. … It is not bulky. I can wear my regular winter coat over it. But to be honest, I rarely do. This beast keeps me so warm. I thought I would be able to feel the hard coils like you would with an electric blanket, but you don’t. It’s amazing, everyone needs one.”
“I’ve been researching heated vests for a year and finally went with this one based on reviews,” shared another happy shopper. “I love it! I have Raynaud’s and the warmth of the vest helps my circulation. Battery power lasts for hours and [the] vest is very comfortable.”
“I bought this one for my mom and she loves it!” exclaimed a final fan. “Most of our family has these and we love them. My only complaint is that the battery takes forever to charge.”
Feel free to wear it underneath a jacket for extra warmth, but it’s powerful enough to be worn on its own, too.
