ORORO Men's Soft Shell Heated Jacket with Detachable Hood and Battery Pack (Open Box)

I figured it would be a good investment because Colorado winters get pretty cold, and it works great. Heating/warmth: Even without the heater on, it’s still a very warm coat and I found that I wasn’t cold at all, even when I was outside when it was 10 degrees F. The heaters don’t cover the whole jacket, but they produce a nice radiating effect that makes your whole body feel warm. The preheat mode is great, when you turn on the jacket it heats on the highest setting for five minutes and then automatically drops to a lower heat setting. Even without it though, it warms up very quickly. The only thing I wish it had were heaters on the front pockets to keep your hands warm, like I’ve seen in some other jackets. Battery life/charging: Battery pack is heavy but it doesn’t weigh down the pocket nearly as much as I thought. It’s very easy to use and it has four dots to show you how much battery life is left. It even charges with USB-C, which is great to see as a lot of these kinds of products charge with proprietary or older connectors that just makes it more of a hassle. With a combination of high and medium heat settings, I’d say I get about 3-4 hours of use. Not bad at all. Jacket feel/mobility: The jacket is a little heavy, but that’s to be expected because it’s more like a coat than it is a jacket. It’s still relatively easy to move around with. Order a size that won’t be extremely tight on your body, but you don’t want it too loose either because then you can’t feel the heat. Experience in snow/rain: Water resistance is great. Even when I was getting pummeled by heavy snow, the inside of the jacket stayed completely dry. Overall experience: Jacket was a great price and even included a storage bag. Battery is easy to charge and lasts pretty long, and heat works well. I 100% recommend if you live in any sort of cold climate. EDIT 11/20/23: Wanted to update my review because the company reached out to me directly to send me a battery bag for the jacket as a thank you for writing a review. Very positive customer service, some of the best I’ve experienced
